Zabbuli 71
1 Mu ggwe, Ayi Mukama, mwe neekweka, tondeka kuswazibwa.
In thee, O Lord, I trust: let me neuer be ashamed.
2 Mu butuukirivu bwo ondokole, omponye; ontegere okutu ondokole.
Rescue mee and deliuer me in thy righteousnes: incline thine eare vnto me and saue me.
3 Onfuukire olwazi obuddukiro bwange, ekifo eky’amaanyi; ondokole kubanga oli lwazi lwange era ekiddukiro kyange.
Be thou my strong rocke, whereunto I may alway resort: thou hast giuen commandement to saue me: for thou art my rocke, and my fortresse.
4 Ayi Katonda wange omponye mu mukono gw’ababi, omponye abantu abatali batuukirivu era abakambwe.
Deliuer mee, O my God, out of the hande of the wicked: out of the hande of the euill and cruell man.
5 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, ggwe ssuubi lyange; ggwe, ggwe neesiga, okuviira ddala mu buvubuka bwange.
For thou art mine hope, O Lord God, euen my trust from my youth.
6 Neesiga ggwe kasookedde nzalibwa; ggwe wanziggya mu lubuto lwa mmange. Nnaakutenderezanga ennaku zonna.
Vpon thee haue I beene stayed from the wombe: thou art he that tooke me out of my mothers bowels: my praise shalbe alwaies of thee.
7 Eri abangi nafuuka; naye ggwe kiddukiro kyange eky’amaanyi.
I am become as it were a monster vnto many: but thou art my sure trust.
8 Akamwa kange kajjudde ettendo lyo, nga ntenda ekitiibwa kyo obudde okuziba.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory euery day.
9 Tonsuula mu kiseera kyange eky’obukadde. Tondekerera ng’amaanyi gampweddemu.
Cast mee not off in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 Kubanga abalabe bange banjogerako; abo abaagala okunzita bansalira olukwe.
For mine enemies speake of mee, and they that lay waite for my soule, take their counsell together,
11 Bagamba nti, “Katonda amulese, ka tumugobe tumukwate, kubanga taliiko anaamuwonya.”
Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliuer him.
12 Ayi Katonda, tombera wala, Ayi Katonda wange, yanguwa ojje ombeere.
Goe not farre from me, O God: my God, haste thee to helpe me.
13 Abo abampawaabira bazikirizibwe nga bajjudde ensonyi, abanoonya okunnumya baswale era banyoomebwe.
Let them be confounded and consumed that are against my soule: let them be couered with reproofe and confusion, that seeke mine hurt.
14 Naye nze nnaabanga n’essuubi ennaku zonna. Era nneeyongeranga okukutenderezanga.
But I will waite continually, and will praise thee more and more.
15 Akamwa kange kanaayogeranga ku bikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu obudde okuziba; nnaayogeranga ku bulokozi bwo, wadde siyinza kubupima.
My mouth shall daily rehearse thy righteousnesse, and thy saluation: for I knowe not the nomber.
16 Nnaatambuliranga mu maanyi go, Ayi Mukama Katonda, era ne ntegeezanga nti ggwe wekka ggwe mutuukirivu.
I will goe forwarde in the strength of the Lord God, and will make mention of thy righteousnesse, euen of thine onely.
17 Ayi Katonda, ggwe wanjigiriza okuva mu buvubuka bwange; n’okutuusa leero nkyatenda ebikolwa byo eby’ekitalo.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth euen vntill nowe: therefore will I tell of thy wonderous workes,
18 Ne bwe ndiba nga nkaddiye nga mmeze n’envi, tonjabuliranga, Ayi Katonda, okutuusiza ddala nga mmaze okutendera abo abaliddawo amaanyi go amangi, n’okumanyisa emirembe egigenda okujja obuyinza bwo.
Yea, euen vnto mine olde age and graie head, O God: forsake me not, vntill I haue declared thine arme vnto this generation, and thy power to all them, that shall come.
19 N’obutuukirivu bwo, Ayi Katonda, butuuka mu ggulu. Ggw’okoze ebikulu, Ayi Katonda, ani akwenkana?
And thy righteousnes, O God, I wil exalt on high: for thou hast done great thinges: O God, who is like vnto thee!
20 Newaakubadde wandeka ne mbonaabona nnyo bwe ntyo, ggw’olinzizaamu obulamu, n’ompa amaanyi amaggya, n’onnyimusa okuva mu kinnya ekiwanvu ennyo wansi w’ensi.
Which hast shewed me great troubles and aduersities, but thou wilt returne, and reuiue me, and wilt come againe, and take mee vp from the depth of the earth.
21 Olinnyongerako ekitiibwa n’oddamu okunsanyusa.
Thou wilt increase mine honour, and returne and comfort me.
22 Nnaakutenderezanga ne nnanga ey’enkoba olw’obwesigwa bwo, Ayi Katonda wange; nnaakutenderezanga n’entongooli, Ayi ggwe Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
Therefore will I praise thee for thy faithfulnesse, O God, vpon instrument and viole: vnto thee will I sing vpon the harpe, O Holy one of Israel.
23 Nnaayimusanga eddoboozi lyange olw’essanyu nga nkutendereza, nze gw’onunudde!
My lippes will reioyce when I sing vnto thee, and my soule, which thou hast deliuered.
24 Olulimi lwange nalwo lunaayogeranga ku bikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu obudde okuziba, kubanga abo ababadde baagala okunkola akabi otabuddetabudde enkwe zaabwe ne baswazibwa.
My tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnesse daily: for they are confounded and brought vnto shame, that seeke mine hurt.
