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.
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my 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.
Thou 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 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], doth hear?
8 Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, obasekerera, era amawanga ago gonna oganyooma.
But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt 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 thee: for God [is] my defense.
10 Katonda wange anjagala anankulemberanga, ne ndyoka neeyagalira ku balabe bange.
The God of my mercy will succor me: God will let me see [my desire] upon my 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 thy 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 ruleth in Jacob to 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 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 are 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 thy power; yes, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense 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.
To thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defense, [and] the God of my mercy.
