Zabbuli 59
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ku ddoboozi, “Tozikiriza.” Zabbuli ya Dawudi, Sawulo bwe yatuma bakuume enju ya Dawudi bamutte. Ayi Katonda wange, mponya abalabe bange; onnwanirire, abantu bwe bangolokokerako.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Omponye abakola ebitali bya butuukirivu, era ondokole mu batemu.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 Laba banneekwekeredde nga banteega okunzita. Abasajja ab’amaanyi abakambwe banneekobera, Ayi Mukama, so nga soonoonye wadde okubaako ne kye nsobezza.
For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4 Sirina kye nsobezza, naye bateekateeka okunnumba. Tunuulira obuzibu bwange, osituke, onnyambe.
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5 Ayi Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri, golokoka obonereze amawanga gonna; abo bonna abasala enkwe tobasaasira.
You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 Bakomawo buli kiro, nga babolooga ng’embwa, ne batambulatambula mu kibuga.
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Laba, bwe bavuma! Ebigambo biwamatuka mu kamwa kaabwe ng’ebitala, nga boogera nti, “Ani atuwulira?”
Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, does hear?
8 Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, obasekerera, era amawanga ago gonna oganyooma.
But you, O LORD, shall laugh at them; you shall have all the heathen in derision.
9 Ayi Katonda, Amaanyi gange, nnaakwesiganga era nnaakutenderezanga, kubanga ggwe kigo kyange ekinywevu.
Because of his strength will I wait upon you: for God is my defence.
10 Katonda wange anjagala anankulemberanga, ne ndyoka neeyagalira ku balabe bange.
The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11 Tobatta, Ayi Mukama, engabo yaffe, abantu bange baleme kwerabira; mu buyinza bwo obungi, baleke batangetange; n’oluvannyuma obakkakkanyize ddala.
Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12 Amalala gaabwe n’ebyonoono ebiva mu kamwa kaabwe, n’ebigambo by’oku mimwa gyabwe leka byonna bibatege ng’omutego. Kubanga bakolima era ne boogera eby’obulimba.
For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 Bamaleewo n’ekiruyi kyo, bamalirewo ddala; amawanga gonna galyoke gategeere nga Katonda wa Yakobo y’afuga ensi yonna.
Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Bakomawo nga buwungedde nga babolooga ng’embwa, ne batambulatambula mu kibuga.
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Banoonya emmere buli wantu mu kibuga, ne bawowoggana bwe batakkuta.
Let them wander up and down for food, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 Naye nze nnaayimbanga nga ntendereza amaanyi go; mu makya nnaayimbanga ku kwagala kwo; kubanga ggwe kigo kyange, era ggwe kiddukiro kyange mu buzibu bwange.
But I will sing of your power; yea, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning: for you have been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 Ggwe, Ayi Katonda, Amaanyi gange, nnaakuyimbiranga nga nkutendereza; kubanga ggwe kigo kyange, era ggwe Katonda wange, anjagala.
Unto you, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
