Zabbuli 52
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi Dowegi Omwedomu bwe yagenda n’abuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi alaze mu nnyumba ya Akimereki.” Lwaki weenyumiririza mu kibi ggwe omusajja ow’amaanyi? Endagaano ya Katonda ey’obwesigwa ebeerera emirembe n’emirembe.
To the Overseer. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
2 Oteekateeka enkwe ez’okuzikiriza. Olulimi lwo lwogi nga kkirita era buli kiseera lwogera bya bulimba.
Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
3 Oyagala okukola ebibi okusinga okukola ebirungi, n’okulimba okusinga okwogera amazima.
Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
4 Osanyukira nnyo okwogera ebirumya. Ggwe olulimi kalimbira!
Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5 Kyokka Katonda alikuzikiriza emirembe gyonna; alikusikula, akuggye mu maka go; alikugoba mu nsi y’abalamu.
Also — God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Bino abatuukirivu balibiraba, ne babitunuulira nga batidde. Naye balikusekerera, nga bwe bagamba nti,
And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
7 “Mumulabe omusajja ateesiga Katonda okuba ekiddukiro kye, naye ne yeesiganga obugagga bwe obungi, ne yeeyongera n’amaanyi ng’azikiriza abalala.”
'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'
8 Naye nze nfaanana ng’omuti omuzeyituuni ogukulira mu nnyumba ya Katonda. Neesiga okwagala kwa Katonda okutaggwaawo emirembe n’emirembe.
And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
9 Nnaakwebazanga emirembe gyonna olw’ekyo ky’okoze. Nneesiganga erinnya lyo kubanga erinnya lyo ddungi; era nnaakutendererezanga awali abatuukirivu bo.
I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!
