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;

Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!

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

For Adonai Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.

3 Yatujeemululira abantu, n’atujeemululira amawanga ne tugafuga.

He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

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

He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob [Supplanter] whom he 'ahav ·affectionately loved·. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

God has gone up with a shout, Adonai with the sound of a shofar ·ram horn·.

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

Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to God, sing zahmar ·musical praise·. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to our King, sing zahmar ·musical praise·.

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

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· with understanding.

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

God reigns over the nations. God sits on 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 peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude]. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted!
