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.

For the leader; with instrumental music on the sheminith. A psalm of David. Rebuke me not, Lord, in your anger, punish me not in your wrath.

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

Lord, be gracious to me in my weakness. Heal me Lord, for racked is my body;

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

all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord?

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

Turn, Lord, rescue me; save me, because of your love.

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

For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you? (Sheol h7585)

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

I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.

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

My eyes swollen with grief; from weeping caused by my foes.

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

Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping,

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

the Lord has heard my entreaty, the Lord accepts my prayer.

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

My foes will be stricken with terror, brought to shame and dismay in a moment.
