Zabbuli 64
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Katonda, owulire eddoboozi lyange, ery’okwemulugunya kwange; okuume obulamu bwange eri okutiisibwatiisibwa omulabe.
Unto the end, a psalm for David. Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2 Onkweke mpone enkwe z’abakola ebibi, onzigye mu kibinja ky’aboonoonyi, abaleekaana
Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3 abawagala ennimi zaabwe ng’ebitala, ne balasa ebigambo byabwe ng’obusaale obutta.
For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; they have bent their bow a bitter thing,
4 Beekweka ne bateega oyo atalina musango bamulase; amangwago ne bamulasa nga tebatya.
To shoot in secret the undefiled.
5 Bawagiragana mu kigendererwa kyabwe ekibi ne bateesa okutega emitego mu kyama; ne boogera nti, “Ani asobola okutulaba?”
They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: they are resolute in wickedness. They have talked of hiding snares; they have said: Who shall see them?
6 Beekobaana okukola ebitali bya bwenkanya, ne boogera nti, “Tukoze enteekateeka empitirivu.” Ddala ddala ebirowoozo by’omuntu n’omutima gwe byekusifu.
They have searched after iniquities: they have failed in their search. Man shall come to a deep heart:
7 Naye Katonda alibalasa n’obusaale bwe; alibafumita, mangwago ne bagwa ku ttaka.
And God shall be exalted. The arrows of children are their wounds:
8 Ebyo bye boogera biribaddira, ne bibazikiriza, ababalaba ne babanyeenyeza emitwe.
And their tongues against them are made weak. All that saw them were troubled;
9 Olwo abantu bonna ne batya, ne bategeeza abalala omulimu gwa Katonda, ne bafumiitiriza ku ebyo by’akoze.
And every man was afraid. And they declared the works of God: and understood his doings.
10 Omutuukirivu ajagulizenga mu Mukama, era yeekwekenga mu ye. Abo bonna abalina omutima omulongoofu bamutenderezenga!
The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
