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 Korahites, on alamoth. A song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2 Kyetunaavanga tulema okutya, ensi ne bw’eneeyuuguumanga, ensozi ne bwe zinaasiguulukukanga ne zigwa mu buziba bw’ennyanja;
So we have no fear, though earth should change, and the hills totter into the heart of the ocean.
3 amazzi g’ennyanja ne bwe ganaayiranga ne gabimba ejjovu ensozi ne zikankana olw’okwetabula kwago.
Let its waters roar and foam, let the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
4 Waliwo omugga, emyala gyagwo gisanyusa ekibuga kya Katonda, kye kifo ekitukuvu ekya Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo.
A river there is, whose streams make glad God’s city, the home the Most High has hallowed.
5 Tekirigwa kubanga Katonda mw’abeera. Katonda anaakirwaniriranga ng’obudde bunaatera okukya.
God is within her: she cannot be shaken. God helps her at the turn of the morning.
6 Amawanga geetabula, obwakabaka bugwa; ayimusa eddoboozi lye ensi n’esaanuuka.
Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away.
7 Mukama ow’Eggye ali naffe, Katonda wa Yakobo kye kigo kyaffe.
On our side is the Lord of hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob.
8 Mujje, mulabe Mukama by’akola, mulabe nga bw’afaafaaganya ensi.
Come and see what the Lord has done, working appallingly in the earth.
9 Y’akomya entalo mu nsi yonna; akutula emitego gy’obusaale, effumu alimenyaamenya; amagaali n’engabo abyokya omuliro.
He stills wars to the ends of the earth – breaking the bow, snapping the spear, burning the chariots in the fire.
10 Musiriikirire mutegeere nga nze Katonda. Nnaagulumizibwanga mu mawanga. Nnaagulumizibwanga mu nsi.
‘Refrain; and know surely that I am God, high over the nations, high over the world.’
11 Katonda ow’Eggye ali naffe; Katonda wa Yakobo kye kigo kyaffe.
On our side is the Lord of Hosts, our sure defence is the God of Jacob. (Selah)
