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;

To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. All ye peoples, clap your hands, Shout unto God, with the voice of triumph;

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

For, Yahweh—as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,

3 Yatujeemululira abantu, n’atujeemululira amawanga ne tugafuga.

He will subjugate, Peoples under us, and, Tribes of men beneath our feet.

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

He chooseth for us our inheritance, The excellence of Jacob, which he hath loved. (Selah)

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

God hath ascended with a shout, Yahweh, with the sound of a horn.

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

Sing praises unto 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 praises with understanding.

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

God, hath become king, over the nations, God, hath taken his seat 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 willing-hearted of the peoples, have gathered themselves together, The people of the God of Abraham; For, to God, belong the shields of the earth, Greatly is he exalted.
