Zabbuli 72
1 Zabbuli ya Sulemaani. Ayi Katonda, kabaka omuwe okuba omwenkanya, ne mutabani we omuwe obutuukirivu,
A Psalm according to Solomon.
2 alyoke alamulenga abantu bo mu butuukirivu, n’abaavu abalamulenga mu mazima.
Give your judgment, O God, to the king, and your justice to the king’s son, to judge your people with justice and your poor with judgment.
3 Ensozi zireeterenga abantu bo okukulaakulana n’obusozi bubaleetere obutuukirivu.
Let the mountains take up peace for the people, and the hills, justice.
4 Anaalwaniriranga abaavu, n’atereeza abaana b’abo abeetaaga, n’omujoozi n’amusaanyaawo.
He will judge the poor of the people, and he will bring salvation to the sons of the poor. And he will humble the false accuser.
5 Abantu bakutyenga ng’enjuba n’omwezi gye bikoma okwaka mu mirembe gyonna.
And he will remain, with the sun and before the moon, from generation to generation.
6 Abeere ng’enkuba bw’etonnya ku muddo ogusaliddwa, afaanane ng’oluwandaggirize olufukirira ensi.
He will descend like rain upon fleece, and like showers showering upon the earth.
7 Obutuukirivu bweyongere nnyo mu mulembe gwe, n’okufuga kwe kujjule emirembe okutuusa omwezi lwe gulikoma okwaka!
In his days, justice will rise like the sun, with abundance of peace, until the moon is taken away.
8 Afugenga okuva ku nnyanja okutuuka ku nnyanja, n’okuva ku mugga Fulaati okutuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi!
And he will rule from sea to sea and from the river to the limits of the whole world.
9 Ebika eby’omu malungu bimugonderenga, n’abalabe be bamujeemulukukire beekulukuunye ne mu nfuufu.
In his sight, the Ethiopians will fall prostrate, and his enemies will lick the ground.
10 Bakabaka b’e Talusiisi n’ab’oku bizinga eby’ewala bamuwenga omusolo; bakabaka b’e Syeba n’ab’e Seeba bamutonerenga ebirabo.
The kings of Tarshish and the islands will offer gifts. The kings of Arabia and of Seba will bring gifts.
11 Bakabaka bonna banaavuunamanga mu maaso ge; amawanga gonna ganaamuweerezanga.
And all the kings of the earth shall adore him. All nations will serve him.
12 Kubanga anaawonyanga eyeetaaga bw’anaamukoowoolanga, n’omwavu ne kateeyamba ataliiko mwasirizi.
For he will free the poor from the powerful, and the poor one who has no helper.
13 Anaasaasiranga omunafu n’omwavu; n’awonya obulamu bwa kateeyamba.
He will spare the poor and the indigent, and he will bring salvation to the souls of the poor.
14 Anaabanunulanga mu mikono gy’omujoozi n’abawonya obukambwe bwe; kubanga obulamu bwabwe bwa muwendo mungi gy’ali.
He will redeem their souls from usuries and from iniquity, and their names shall be honorable in his sight.
15 Awangaale! Aleeterwe zaabu okuva e Syeba. Abantu bamwegayiririrenga era bamusabirenga emikisa buli lunaku.
And he will live, and to him will be given from the gold of Arabia, and by him they will always adore. They will bless him all day long.
16 Eŋŋaano ebale nnyingi nnyo mu nsi, ebikke n’entikko z’ensozi. Ebibala byayo byale ng’eby’e Lebanooni; n’abantu baale mu bibuga ng’omuddo ogw’oku ttale.
And there will be a firmament on earth, at the summits of mountains: its fruits will be extolled above Lebanon, and those of the city will flourish like the grass of the earth.
17 Erinnya lye libeerengawo ennaku zonna, n’okwatiikirira kwe kube kwa nkalakkalira ng’enjuba. Amawanga gonna ganaaweebwanga omukisa ku lu lw’erinnya lye, era abantu bonna bamuyitenga aweereddwa omukisa.
May his name be blessed forever; may his name remain before the sun. And all the tribes of the earth will be blessed in him. All nations will magnify him.
18 Mukama Katonda agulumizibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo yekka akola ebyewuunyisa.
Blessed is the Lord, God of Israel, who alone does wondrous things.
19 Erinnya lye ekkulu ligulumizibwenga emirembe n’emirembe! Ensi yonna ejjule ekitiibwa kye.
And blessed is the name of his majesty in eternity. And all the earth will be filled with his majesty. Amen. Amen.
20 Okusaba kwa Dawudi mutabani wa Yese kukomye awo.
The praises of David, the son of Jesse, have reached an end.
