Zabbuli 43

1 Ayi Katonda, onnejjeereze omponye eggwanga eritatya Katonda ondokole mu mikono gy’abantu abalimba, abakola ebibi.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?

2 Ddala ddala ggwe Katonda, ekigo kyange eky’amaanyi. Lwaki ondese? Lwaki ŋŋenda nkaaba nga nnyigirizibwa omulabe?

For, thou, art my defending God—Wherefore hast thou rejected me? Wherefore in gloom should I wander, because of the oppression of an enemy?

3 Kale tuma omusana gwo n’amazima binnuŋŋamye; bindeete ku lusozi lwo olutukuvu, mu kifo mw’obeera.

Send forth thy light and thy faithfulness, Let, them, lead me, Let them bring me into thy holy mountain, and into thy habitations:

4 Ne ndyoka ndaga ku kyoto kya Katonda, eri Katonda wange era essanyu lyange eritasingika. Weewaawo nnaakutenderezanga n’ennanga, Ayi Katonda, Katonda wange.

That I may go in unto the altar of God, Unto GOD, mine exultant joy, —That I may praise thee with the lyre, O God—mine own God!

5 Lwaki wennyise ggwe emmeeme yange? Lwaki otabusetabuse munda yange? Weesige Katonda; kubanga nnaamutenderezanga, Omulokozi wange era Katonda wange.

Why shouldst thou be cast down, O my soul? And why shouldst thou moan over me, Wait thou for God, for yet shall I praise him, As the triumph of my presence, and my God.
