Zabbuli 72
1 Zabbuli ya Sulemaani. Ayi Katonda, kabaka omuwe okuba omwenkanya, ne mutabani we omuwe obutuukirivu,
For Solomon. O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
2 alyoke alamulenga abantu bo mu butuukirivu, n’abaavu abalamulenga mu mazima.
He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.
3 Ensozi zireeterenga abantu bo okukulaakulana n’obusozi bubaleetere obutuukirivu.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.
4 Anaalwaniriranga abaavu, n’atereeza abaana b’abo abeetaaga, n’omujoozi n’amusaanyaawo.
He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.
5 Abantu bakutyenga ng’enjuba n’omwezi gye bikoma okwaka mu mirembe gyonna.
They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.
6 Abeere ng’enkuba bw’etonnya ku muddo ogusaliddwa, afaanane ng’oluwandaggirize olufukirira ensi.
He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 Obutuukirivu bweyongere nnyo mu mulembe gwe, n’okufuga kwe kujjule emirembe okutuusa omwezi lwe gulikoma okwaka!
In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon be no more.
8 Afugenga okuva ku nnyanja okutuuka ku nnyanja, n’okuva ku mugga Fulaati okutuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi!
And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 Ebika eby’omu malungu bimugonderenga, n’abalabe be bamujeemulukukire beekulukuunye ne mu nfuufu.
The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
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 of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:
11 Bakabaka bonna banaavuunamanga mu maaso ge; amawanga gonna ganaamuweerezanga.
Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall serve him.
12 Kubanga anaawonyanga eyeetaaga bw’anaamukoowoolanga, n’omwavu ne kateeyamba ataliiko mwasirizi.
For he will deliver the needy who crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;
13 Anaasaasiranga omunafu n’omwavu; n’awonya obulamu bwa kateeyamba.
He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:
14 Anaabanunulanga mu mikono gy’omujoozi n’abawonya obukambwe bwe; kubanga obulamu bwabwe bwa muwendo mungi gy’ali.
He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 Awangaale! Aleeterwe zaabu okuva e Syeba. Abantu bamwegayiririrenga era bamusabirenga emikisa buli lunaku.
And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.
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.
There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb 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.
His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Mukama Katonda agulumizibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo yekka akola ebyewuunyisa.
Blessed be Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things!
19 Erinnya lye ekkulu ligulumizibwenga emirembe n’emirembe! Ensi yonna ejjule ekitiibwa kye.
And blessed be his glorious name for ever! and let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen, and Amen.
20 Okusaba kwa Dawudi mutabani wa Yese kukomye awo.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
