Zabbuli 45
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Oluyimba “olw’Amalanga.” Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Omutima gwange gujjudde ebigambo ebirungi nga nnyimba oluyimba lwa Kabaka. Olulimi lwange kkalaamu y’omuwandiisi omukugu.
My heart is composing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made concerning the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 Ggw’osinga abaana b’abantu obulungi; n’akamwa ko nga kafukiddwako amafuta ag’ekisa. Kubanga Katonda akuwadde omukisa emirembe gyonna.
You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever.
3 Weesibe ekitala kyo, Ayi ggwe ow’amaanyi, yambala ekitiibwa kyo n’obukulu bwo!
Gird your sword upon your thigh, O most mighty, with your glory and your majesty.
4 Weebagale embalaasi yo mu kitiibwa kyo eky’obuwanguzi, ng’olwanirira amazima, obuwombeefu, n’obutuukirivu. Omukono gwo ogwa ddyo gukole ebyewuunyisa.
And in your majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and your right hand shall teach you terrible things.
5 Obusaale bwo obwogi bufumite emitima gy’abalabe ba kabaka; afuge amawanga.
your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under you.
6 Entebe yo ey’obwakabaka, Ayi Katonda, ya lubeerera; n’omuggo ogw’obwenkanya gwe guliba ogw’obwakabaka bwo.
Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of your kingdom is a right sceptre.
7 Oyagala obutuukirivu n’okyawa okukola ebibi; noolwekyo Katonda, Katonda wo, kyavudde akugulumiza n’akufukako amafuta ag’essanyu okusinga bakabaka banno bonna.
You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
8 Ebyambalo byo birina akawoowo ka mmooli ne alowe, ne kasiya. Ebivuga eby’enkoba bikusanyusiza mu mbiri zo ez’amasanga.
All your garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made you glad.
9 Mu bakyala bo mulimu abambejja; namasole ali ku mukono gwo ogwa ddyo ng’ayambadde ebya zaabu ya Ofiri.
Kings' daughters were among your honourable women: upon your right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10 Muwala, wuliriza bye nkugamba: “Weerabire ab’ewammwe n’ab’omu nnyumba ya kitaawo.
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear; forget also your own people, and your father's house;
11 Kabaka akulowoozaako nnyo, kubanga walungiwa n’oyitirira; nga bw’ali mukama wo, muwenga ekitiibwa.”
So shall the king greatly desire your beauty: for he is your Lord; and worship you him.
12 Muwala w’e Ttuulo alijja n’ekirabo, abasajja abagagga balikwegayirira obalage ekisa kyo.
And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall implore your favour.
13 Omuwala wa kabaka ajjudde ekitiibwa mu kisenge kye, ng’ayambadde ekyambalo ekyalukibwa ne zaabu.
The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.
14 Aleetebwa mu maaso ga kabaka ng’ayambadde ebyambalo eby’emidalizo emingi. Emperekeze ze zimuwerekerako; bonna ne bajja gy’oli.
She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto you.
15 Baleetebwa nga bajjudde essanyu n’okweyagala, ne bayingira mu lubiri lwa kabaka.
With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.
16 Batabani bo baliweebwa ebifo bya bajjajjaabwe, olibafuula ng’abalangira mu nsi omwo.
Instead of your fathers shall be your children, whom you may make princes in all the earth.
17 Erinnya lyo linajjukirwanga emirembe gyonna. Amawanga kyeganaavanga gakutendereza emirembe n’emirembe.
I will make your name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise you for ever and ever.
