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.

To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. — A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

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

Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

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

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

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

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

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

For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (Sheol h7585)

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

I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

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

Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

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

Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

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

Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

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

Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!
