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 Korahites. A psalm. Clap your hands, all you peoples: shout to God in ringing cries.

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

For the Lord is most high and dread, a great king over all the earth.

3 Yatujeemululira abantu, n’atujeemululira amawanga ne tugafuga.

He subdues the peoples under us, the nations under our feet;

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

he chooses our heritage for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loves. (Selah)

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

God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

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

Sing praise to our God, sing praises: sing praise to our king, sing praises.

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

For king of all earth is he: praise God in a skilful song.

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

God is king over all 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.

Princes of nations gather with the people of Abraham’s God: for the shields of the earth are God’s; greatly exalted is he.
