Zabbuli 72
1 Zabbuli ya Sulemaani. Ayi Katonda, kabaka omuwe okuba omwenkanya, ne mutabani we omuwe obutuukirivu,
A psalm on Solomon.
2 alyoke alamulenga abantu bo mu butuukirivu, n’abaavu abalamulenga mu mazima.
Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.
3 Ensozi zireeterenga abantu bo okukulaakulana n’obusozi bubaleetere obutuukirivu.
Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.
4 Anaalwaniriranga abaavu, n’atereeza abaana b’abo abeetaaga, n’omujoozi n’amusaanyaawo.
He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.
5 Abantu bakutyenga ng’enjuba n’omwezi gye bikoma okwaka mu mirembe gyonna.
And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Abeere ng’enkuba bw’etonnya ku muddo ogusaliddwa, afaanane ng’oluwandaggirize olufukirira ensi.
He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
7 Obutuukirivu bweyongere nnyo mu mulembe gwe, n’okufuga kwe kujjule emirembe okutuusa omwezi lwe gulikoma okwaka!
In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.
8 Afugenga okuva ku nnyanja okutuuka ku nnyanja, n’okuva ku mugga Fulaati okutuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi!
And he shall rule 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.
Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall 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 Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
11 Bakabaka bonna banaavuunamanga mu maaso ge; amawanga gonna ganaamuweerezanga.
And all kings of the earth shall adore him: all nations shall serve him.
12 Kubanga anaawonyanga eyeetaaga bw’anaamukoowoolanga, n’omwavu ne kateeyamba ataliiko mwasirizi.
For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.
13 Anaasaasiranga omunafu n’omwavu; n’awonya obulamu bwa kateeyamba.
He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.
14 Anaabanunulanga mu mikono gy’omujoozi n’abawonya obukambwe bwe; kubanga obulamu bwabwe bwa muwendo mungi gy’ali.
He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable 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 Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.
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 shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall 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.
Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.
18 Mukama Katonda agulumizibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo yekka akola ebyewuunyisa.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful things.
19 Erinnya lye ekkulu ligulumizibwenga emirembe n’emirembe! Ensi yonna ejjule ekitiibwa kye.
And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.
20 Okusaba kwa Dawudi mutabani wa Yese kukomye awo.
The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
