Zabbuli 69
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Mu ddoboozi ery’Amalanga. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ondokole, Ayi Katonda, kubanga amazzi gandi mu bulago.
To him that excelleth upon Shoshannim. A Psalme of David. Save mee, O God: for the waters are entred euen to my soule.
2 Ntubira mu bitosi nga sirina we nnywereza kigere. Ntuuse ebuziba n’amataba gansaanikira.
I sticke fast in the deepe myre, where no staie is: I am come into deepe waters, and the streames runne ouer me.
3 Ndajanye ne nkoowa, n’emimiro ginkaze. Amaaso ganzizeeko ekifu gakooye olw’okutunula enkaliriza nga nnindirira Katonda wange.
I am wearie of crying: my throte is drie: mine eyes faile, whiles I waite for my God.
4 Abo abankyayira obwereere bangi okusinga enviiri ez’oku mutwe gwange; abalabe bange bangi abannoonya okunzita awatali nsonga; ne mpalirizibwa mbaddizeewo ekyo kye sibbanga.
They that hate mee without a cause, are moe then the heares of mine heade: they that would destroy mee, and are mine enemies falsly, are mightie, so that I restored that which I tooke not.
5 Ayi Katonda, omanyi obusirusiru bwange, n’okusobya kwange tekukukwekeddwa.
O God, thou knowest my foolishnesse, and my fautes are not hid from thee.
6 Sisaana kuswaza abo abakwesiga, Ayi Mukama, Mukama ow’Eggye. Abo abakunoonya baleme kuswazibwa ku lwange, Ayi Katonda wa Isirayiri.
Let not them that trust in thee, O Lord God of hostes, be ashamed for me: let not those that seeke thee, be confounded through mee, O God of Israel.
7 Ngumiikirizza okuvumwa ku lulwo, n’amaaso gange ne gajjula ensonyi.
For thy sake haue I suffred reproofe: shame hath couered my face.
8 Nfuuse nga omugwira eri baganda bange, munnaggwanga eri abaana ba mmange.
I am become a stranger vnto my brethren, euen an aliant vnto my mothers sonnes.
9 Nzijudde obuggya olw’ennyumba yo, n’abo abakuvuma bavuma nze.
For the zeale of thine house hath eaten mee, and the rebukes of them that rebuked thee, are fallen vpon me.
10 Bwe nkaaba ne nsiiba, ekyo nakyo ne kinvumisa.
I wept and my soule fasted, but that was to my reproofe.
11 Bwe nnyambala ebibukutu ne nfuuka eky’okuzanyisa kyabwe.
I put on a sacke also: and I became a prouerbe vnto them.
12 Abo abatuula ku mulyango gw’ekibuga banduulira, era nfuuse luyimba lw’abatamiivu.
They that sate in the gate, spake of mee, and the drunkards sang of me.
13 Naye nze, Ayi Mukama, nsaba ggwe, mu kiseera eky’ekisa kyo. Olw’okwagala kwo okungi, onnyanukule, Ayi Katonda, ondokole nga bwe wasuubiza.
But Lord, I make my praier vnto thee in an acceptable time, euen in the multitude of thy mercie: O God, heare me in the trueth of thy saluation.
14 Onnyinyulule mu ttosi nneme okutubira; omponye abankyawa, onzigye mu mazzi amangi;
Deliuer mee out of the myre, that I sinke not: let me be deliuered from them that hate me, and out of the deepe waters.
15 amataba galeme okumbuutikira n’obuziba okunsanyaawo, n’ennyanja ereme okummira.
Let not the water flood drowne mee, neither let the deepe swallowe me vp: and let not the pit shut her mouth vpon me.
16 Onnyanukule, Ayi Mukama olw’obulungi bw’okwagala kwo; onkyukire olw’okusaasira kwo okungi.
Heare me, O Lord, for thy louing kindnes is good: turne vnto me according to ye multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 Tokisa muddu wo maaso go; yanguwa okunziramu, kubanga ndi mu kabi.
And hide not thy face from thy seruant, for I am in trouble: make haste and heare me.
18 Onsemberere onziruukirire, onnunule mu balabe bange.
Draw neere vnto my soule and redeeme it: deliuer me because of mine enemies.
19 Omanyi bwe nsekererwa, ne bwe nswazibwa ne bwe siteekebwamu kitiibwa, era n’abalabe bange bonna obamanyi.
Thou hast knowen my reproofe and my shame, and my dishonour: all mine aduersaries are before thee.
20 Okusekererwa kunkutudde omutima era kummazeemu amaanyi. Nanoonya okusaasirwa ne kumbula, n’ow’okumpooyawooya naye nga simulaba.
Rebuke hath broken mine heart, and I am full of heauinesse, and I looked for some to haue pitie on me, but there was none: and for comforters, but I found none.
21 Mu kifo ky’emmere bampa mususa, era bwe nalumwa ennyonta bampa nkaatu.
For they gaue me gall in my meate, and in my thirst they gaue me vineger to drinke.
22 Emmere yaabwe gye bategese okulya ebafuukire ekyambika, n’embaga zaabwe ez’ebiweebwayo zibafuukire omutego.
Let their table be a snare before them, and their prosperitie their ruine.
23 Amaaso gaabwe gazibe baleme okulaba, n’emigongo gyabwe gyewetenga ennaku zonna.
Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and make their loynes alway to tremble.
24 Bayiweeko ekiruyi kyo, obamalewo n’obusungu obw’amaanyi go obungi.
Powre out thine anger vpon them, and let thy wrathfull displeasure take them.
25 Ebifo byabwe bifuuke bifulukwa, waleme kubaawo n’omu abeera mu weema zaabwe.
Let their habitation be voide, and let none dwell in their tents.
26 Kubanga bayigganya oyo gw’ofumise, ne boogera ku bulumi bw’oyo gw’olumizza.
For they persecute him, whome thou hast smitten: and they adde vnto the sorrowe of them, whome thou hast wounded.
27 Bavunaane omusango kina gumu, era tobaganya kugabana ku bulokozi bwo.
Laie iniquitie vpon their iniquitie, and let them not come into thy righteousnesse.
28 Bawanduukululwe mu kitabo ky’obulamu; baleme kulabika ku lukalala lw’abatuukirivu.
Let them be put out of the booke of life, neither let them be written with the righteous.
29 Ndi mu bulumi era mu nnaku; obulokozi bwo, Ayi Katonda, bunkuume.
When I am poore and in heauinesse, thine helpe, O God, shall exalt me.
30 Nnaatenderezanga erinnya lya Katonda nga nnyimba; nnaamugulumizanga n’okwebaza.
I will praise the Name of God with a song, and magnifie him with thankesgiuing.
31 Kino kinaasanyusanga Mukama okusinga okumuwa ente ennume, oba okumuwa seddume n’amayembe gaayo, n’ebigere byayo.
This also shall please the Lord better then a yong bullocke, that hath hornes and hoofes.
32 Abaavu banaakirabanga ne basanyuka; mmwe abanoonya Katonda omutima gwammwe ne gubeera omulamu.
The humble shall see this, and they that seeke God, shalbe glad, and your heart shall liue.
33 Kubanga Mukama awulira abo abali mu kwetaaga, era ababe ne bwe baba mu busibe, tabanyooma.
For the Lord heareth the poore, and despiseth not his prisoners.
34 Kale eggulu n’ensi bimutenderezenga awamu n’ennyanja zonna n’ebyo ebizirimu.
Let heauen and earth praise him: the seas and all that moueth in them.
35 Kubanga Katonda alirokola Sayuuni, n’ebibuga bya Yuda n’abizimba buggya, abantu ne babibeerangamu nga byabwe.
For God will saue Zion, and builde the cities of Iudah, that men may dwell there and haue it in possession.
36 Abaana b’abaweereza be balikisikira; n’abo abaagala erinnya lya Mukama omwo mmwe banaabeeranga.
The seede also of his seruants shall inherit it: and they that loue his name, shall dwel therein.
