< Zabbuli 46 >

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi: Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Katonda kye kiddukiro kyaffe, era ge maanyi gaffe; omubeezi ddala atabulawo mu kulaba ennaku.
“For the leader of the music. Of, or for, the sons of Korah. To be sung in the manner, or with the voice, of virgins.” God is our refuge and strength; An ever present help in trouble.
2 Kyetunaavanga tulema okutya, ensi ne bw’eneeyuuguumanga, ensozi ne bwe zinaasiguulukukanga ne zigwa mu buziba bw’ennyanja;
Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be changed; Though the mountains tremble in the heart of the sea;
3 amazzi g’ennyanja ne bwe ganaayiranga ne gabimba ejjovu ensozi ne zikankana olw’okwetabula kwago.
Though its waters roar and be troubled, And the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. (Pause)
4 Waliwo omugga, emyala gyagwo gisanyusa ekibuga kya Katonda, kye kifo ekitukuvu ekya Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo.
A river with its streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling-place of the Most High.
5 Tekirigwa kubanga Katonda mw’abeera. Katonda anaakirwaniriranga ng’obudde bunaatera okukya.
God is the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her, and that full early.
6 Amawanga geetabula, obwakabaka bugwa; ayimusa eddoboozi lye ensi n’esaanuuka.
The nations raged; kingdoms were moved; He uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 Mukama ow’Eggye ali naffe, Katonda wa Yakobo kye kigo kyaffe.
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. (Pause)
8 Mujje, mulabe Mukama by’akola, mulabe nga bw’afaafaaganya ensi.
Come, behold the doings of the LORD; What desolations he hath made in the earth!
9 Y’akomya entalo mu nsi yonna; akutula emitego gy’obusaale, effumu alimenyaamenya; amagaali n’engabo abyokya omuliro.
He causeth wars to cease to the end of the earth; He hath broken the bow, and snapped the spear asunder, And burned the chariots in fire.
10 Musiriikirire mutegeere nga nze Katonda. Nnaagulumizibwanga mu mawanga. Nnaagulumizibwanga mu nsi.
“Desist, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted throughout the earth!”
11 Katonda ow’Eggye ali naffe; Katonda wa Yakobo kye kigo kyaffe.
The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.
