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,
O Yhwh my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 si kulwa nga bantagulataagula ng’empologoma ne bankutulakutula obufiififi ne watabaawo amponya.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 Ayi Mukama, Katonda wange, obanga nkoze kino, era ng’engalo zange ziriko omusango,
O Yhwh 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 unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
5 Kale, abalabe bange baleke bangoberere bankwate, bankube wansi banninnyirire, banzitire mu nfuufu.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour 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, O Yhwh, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 Kuŋŋaanya bannaggwanga bonna okukwetooloola; obafuge ng’oli waggulu ennyo.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore 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.
Yhwh shall judge the people: judge me, O Yhwh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Ayi Katonda omutukuvu, akebera emitima n’emmeeme; okomye ebikolwa by’abakola ebibi: era onyweze abatuukirivu.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 Katonda Ali Waggulu Ennyo ye ngabo yange; alokola abo abalina omutima omulongoofu.
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 Katonda mulamuzi wa mazima; era alaga ekiruyi kye buli lunaku.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 Mukama awagala ekitala kye n’aleega omutego gwe ogw’obusaale.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Era ategese ebyokulwanyisa ebissi; era akozesa obusaale obw’omuliro.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Omuntu ajjudde ebibi afuna emitawaana, n’azaala obulimba.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 Asima ekinnya, n’akiwanvuya nnyo; ate n’akigwamu ye kye yasimye.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Emitawaana gye gimwebunguludde; n’obukambwe bwe bumuddire.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing 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 Yhwh according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of Yhwh most high.
