Zabbuli 43

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

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

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

For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

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

Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

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

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

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

Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Saviour, my helper, and my God.
