Zabbuli 56
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Abafirisuuti bwe baamukwatira mu Gaasi. Onsaasire, Ayi Katonda, kubanga abalabe bange banjigganya; buli lunaku bannumba n’amaanyi.
“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “The dumb dove among strangers.” A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.” Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth me!
2 Abalabe bange bannondoola, bangi bannwanyisa nga bajjudde amalala.
Mine enemies daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.
3 Buli lwe ntya, neesiga ggwe.
When I am in fear, I will put my trust in thee!
4 Nditendereza Katonda ne nyweerera mu kigambo kye, ye Katonda gwe neesiga; siityenga. Abantu obuntu bagenda kunkolako ki?
Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?
5 Olunaku lwonna bye njogera babifuulafuula; ebbanga lyonna baba basala nkwe kunkola kabi.
Every day they wrest my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Beekobaana ne bateesa, banneekwekerera ne bawuliriza enswagiro zange; nga bannindirira banzite.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.
7 Tobakkiriza kudduka ne bawona; mu busungu bwo, Ayi Katonda, osuule amawanga.
Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine anger cast down the people, O God!
8 Emirundi gye ntawaanyizibwa nga njaziirana ogimanyi; amaziga gange gateeke mu ccupa yo! Wagawandiika.
Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?
9 Bwe nkukoowoola, abalabe bange nga badduka. Kino nkimanyi kubanga Katonda ali ku ludda lwange.
When I cry to thee, my enemies shall turn back; This I know, that God is for me.
10 Katonda gwe ntendereza olw’ekisuubizo kye; Mukama gwe ntendereza olw’ekisuubizo kye;
Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.
11 Katonda oyo gwe neesiga, siityenga. Abantu bayinza kunkolako ki?
In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to me?
12 Ndituukiriza obweyamo bwange gy’oli, Ayi Katonda; ndikuleetera ebirabo eby’okukwebaza.
Thy vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to thee!
13 Kubanga emmeeme yange ogiwonyezza okufa. Ebigere byange tobiwonyezza okwesittala; ne ndyoka ntambulira mu maaso ga Katonda mu musana nga ndi mulamu?
For thou hast delivered me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
