Zabbuli 65
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Oluyimba, Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Osaanira okutenderezebwanga, Ayi Katonda, ali mu Sayuuni; tunaatuukiririzanga obweyamo bwaffe gy’oli.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence — praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.
2 Ayi ggwe awulira okusaba kw’abantu bo, abantu bonna banajjanga gy’oli olw’ebibi byabwe.
Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
3 Ebibi byaffe bwe byatusukkirira, n’otutangiririra.
Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.
4 Alina omukisa oyo gw’olonda n’omusembeza okumpi naawe, abeerenga mu mpya zo. Tunaamalibwanga ebirungi eby’omu nnyumba yo; eby’omu Yeekaalu yo entukuvu.
O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.
5 Otwanukula n’ebikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu eby’entiisa n’otulokola, Ayi Katonda ow’obulokozi bwaffe; ggwe ssuubi ly’abo abali mu nsi yonna n’abo bonna abali ewala mu nnyanja zonna,
By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.
6 ggwe, eyakola ensozi n’obuyinza bwo, n’ozinyweza n’amaanyi go,
Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
7 ggwe, asirisa okusiikuuka kw’ennyanja, n’okkakkanya okwetabula kw’amayengo gaayo, era ggw’okkakkanya okwegugunga kw’amawanga.
Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
8 Abo bonna ababeera ewala balaba ne batya ebyewuunyo byo; ne bakuyimbira ennyimba ez’essanyu okuva ku makya okutuusa akawungeezi.
And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
9 Ensi ogirabirira n’ogifukirira n’egimuka nnyo. Emigga gya Katonda gijjudde amazzi, okuwa abantu emmere ey’empeke, kubanga bw’otyo bwe wakiteekateeka.
Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,
10 Otonnyesa enkuba mu nnimiro, n’ojjuza ebitaba byamu; n’ogonza ettaka, ebibala by’omu nsi n’obiwa omukisa.
Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
11 Ofundikira omwaka n’amakungula amangi, ebigaali ne bigenda nga byetisse ebibala nga bikubyeko.
Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
12 Ebifo awali omuddo mu ddungu bijjula amazzi, n’obusozi ne bulabika bulungi nga bweyagala.
Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
13 Amalundiro gajjula ebisibo, n’ebiwonvu ne bijjula emmere ey’empeke. Ensi yonna eyimba mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka ng’ejjudde essanyu.
Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
