Zabbuli 6

1 Eri Omukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, tonnenya ng’ojjudde obusungu; so tombonereza mu kiruyi kyo.

Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

2 Onsaasire, Ayi Mukama, kubanga ndi munafu. Omponye, Ayi Mukama, kubanga amagumba gange gali mu bulumi.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

3 Emmeeme yange ejjudde ennaku. Olirindirira kutuusa ddi olyoke onnyambe?

And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

4 Onkyukire, Ayi Mukama, olokole omwoyo gwange; omponye okufa olw’okwagala kwo okungi.

Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s sake.

5 Kubanga tewali ayinza kukujjukira ng’amaze okufa. Ani alikutendereza ng’asinziira emagombe? (Sheol h7585)

For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell? (Sheol h7585)

6 Mpweddemu amaanyi olw’okusinda. Buli kiro obuliri bwange bujjula amaziga gange n’omutto ne gutoba.

I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

7 Amaaso gange ganafuye olw’okunyolwa, tegakyalaba bulungi olw’abalabe bange.

My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

8 Muve we ndi mmwe mwenna abakola ebibi; kubanga Mukama awulidde okukaaba kwange.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 Mukama awulidde okwegayirira kwange, n’okusaba kwange akukkirizza.

The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

10 Abalabe bange bonna baliswazibwa era balitya nnyo; bazzibwe emabega nga bajjudde obuswavu mangu ago.

Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
