Zabbuli 7
1 Zabbuli ya Dawudi gye yayimbira Mukama ng’efa ku Kuusi Omubenyamini. Ayi Mukama, Katonda wange, neesiga ggwe: ngobaako bonna abangigganya era omponye,
Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;
2 si kulwa nga bantagulataagula ng’empologoma ne bankutulakutula obufiififi ne watabaawo amponya.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.
3 Ayi Mukama, Katonda wange, obanga nkoze kino, era ng’engalo zange ziriko omusango,
Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 obanga waliwo andaze ebirungi nze ne si muyisa bulungi, oba nzibye omulabe wange awatali nsonga:
If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me; )
5 Kale, abalabe bange baleke bangoberere bankwate, bankube wansi banninnyirire, banzitire mu nfuufu.
Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take [it], and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 Golokoka, Ayi Mukama, mu busungu bwo oziyize abalabe bange abajjudde obukambwe. Golokoka, Ayi Katonda wange, onnyambe ggwe asala omusango mu bwenkanya.
Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.
7 Kuŋŋaanya bannaggwanga bonna okukwetooloola; obafuge ng’oli waggulu ennyo.
And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.
8 Ggwe, Ayi Mukama, Ali Waggulu Ennyo, asalira amawanga gonna emisango, osale omusango gwange Ayi Mukama Ali Waggulu Ennyo ng’obutuukirivu bwange bwe buli, era n’amazima agali mu nze bwe gali.
Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
9 Ayi Katonda omutukuvu, akebera emitima n’emmeeme; okomye ebikolwa by’abakola ebibi: era onyweze abatuukirivu.
Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.
10 Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo ye ngabo yange; alokola abo abalina omutima omulongoofu.
My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Katonda mulamuzi wa mazima; era alaga ekiruyi kye buli lunaku.
God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.
12 Mukama awagala ekitala kye n’aleega omutego gwe ogw’obusaale.
If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
13 Era ategese ebyokulwanyisa ebissi; era akozesa obusaale obw’omuliro.
And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
14 Omuntu ajjudde ebibi afuna emitawaana, n’azaala obulimba.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:
15 Asima ekinnya, n’akiwanvuya nnyo; ate n’akigwamu ye kye yasimye.
He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
16 Emitawaana gye gimwebunguludde; n’obukambwe bwe bumuddire.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17 Nneebazanga Mukama olw’obutuukirivu bwe; nnaayimbanga nga ntendereza erinnya lya Mukama Ali Waggulu Ennyo.
I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.
