Zabbuli 47

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Mukube mu ngalo mmwe amawanga gonna; muyimuse amaloboozi muyimbire nnyo Katonda ennyimba ez’essanyu;

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O clap your hands, all ye nations! Shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

2 Mukama Ali Waggulu Ennyo wa ntiisa. Ye Kabaka afuga ensi yonna.

For terrible is Jehovah, the Most High, The great king over all the earth.

3 Yatujeemululira abantu, n’atujeemululira amawanga ne tugafuga.

He hath subdued nations under us, And kingdoms under our feet;

4 Yatulondera omugabo gwaffe, Yakobo gw’ayagala mwe yeenyumiririza.

He hath chosen for us an inheritance, The glory of Jacob, whom he loved. (Pause)

5 Katonda alinnye waggulu ng’atenderezebwa mu maloboozi ag’essanyu eringi. Mukama alinnye nga n’amakondeere gamuvugira.

God goeth up with a shout; Jehovah with the sound of the trumpet.

6 Mutendereze Katonda, mumutendereze. Mumutendereze Kabaka waffe, mumutendereze.

Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our king, sing praises!

7 Kubanga Katonda ye Kabaka w’ensi yonna, mumutendereze ne Zabbuli ey’ettendo.

For God is king of all the earth; Sing to him hymns of praise!

8 Katonda afuga amawanga gonna; afuga amawanga ng’atudde ku ntebe ye entukuvu.

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon his holy throne.

9 Abakungu bannaggwanga bakuŋŋanye ng’abantu ba Katonda wa Ibulayimu; kubanga Katonda y’afuga abakulembeze b’ensi. Katonda agulumizibwenga nnyo.

The princes of the nations gather themselves together To the people of the God of Abraham; For the mighty of the earth belong to God; He is supremely exalted.
