Zabbuli 72
1 Zabbuli ya Sulemaani. Ayi Katonda, kabaka omuwe okuba omwenkanya, ne mutabani we omuwe obutuukirivu,
“For Solomon.” To the king, O God! give thy justice, And to the son of a king thy righteousness!
2 alyoke alamulenga abantu bo mu butuukirivu, n’abaavu abalamulenga mu mazima.
Yea! he shall judge thy people with equity, And thine oppressed ones with justice.
3 Ensozi zireeterenga abantu bo okukulaakulana n’obusozi bubaleetere obutuukirivu.
For the mountains shall bring forth peace to the people, And the hills, through righteousness.
4 Anaalwaniriranga abaavu, n’atereeza abaana b’abo abeetaaga, n’omujoozi n’amusaanyaawo.
He shall defend the oppressed of the people; He shall save the needy, And 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 the sun and moon shall endure, From generation to generation.
6 Abeere ng’enkuba bw’etonnya ku muddo ogusaliddwa, afaanane ng’oluwandaggirize olufukirira ensi.
He shall be like rain descending on the mown field, —Like showers which 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 great shall be their prosperity, as long as the moon shall endure.
8 Afugenga okuva ku nnyanja okutuuka ku nnyanja, n’okuva ku mugga Fulaati okutuuka ku nkomerero z’ensi!
He shall have dominion from sea to sea, And from the river to the ends of the earth.
9 Ebika eby’omu malungu bimugonderenga, n’abalabe be bamujeemulukukire beekulukuunye ne mu nfuufu.
They that dwell 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 bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts;
11 Bakabaka bonna banaavuunamanga mu maaso ge; amawanga gonna ganaamuweerezanga.
Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; All nations shall serve him.
12 Kubanga anaawonyanga eyeetaaga bw’anaamukoowoolanga, n’omwavu ne kateeyamba ataliiko mwasirizi.
For he shall deliver the poor who crieth for aid, And the oppressed who hath no helper.
13 Anaasaasiranga omunafu n’omwavu; n’awonya obulamu bwa kateeyamba.
He shall spare the weak and needy, And save the lives of the poor.
14 Anaabanunulanga mu mikono gy’omujoozi n’abawonya obukambwe bwe; kubanga obulamu bwabwe bwa muwendo mungi gy’ali.
He shall redeem them from deceit and violence, And their blood shall be precious in his sight.
15 Awangaale! Aleeterwe zaabu okuva e Syeba. Abantu bamwegayiririrenga era bamusabirenga emikisa buli lunaku.
He shall prosper, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; Prayer also shall be made for him continually, And daily shall he be praised.
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 an abundance of corn in the land; Its fruit shall shake like Lebanon, even on the tops of the mountains; And they of the cities shall flourish as 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.
His name shall endure for ever; His name shall be continued as long as the sun. By him shall men bless themselves; All nations shall call him blessed.
18 Mukama Katonda agulumizibwe, Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo yekka akola ebyewuunyisa.
[[Praised be God, Jehovah, the God of Israel, Who alone doeth wonderful things!
19 Erinnya lye ekkulu ligulumizibwenga emirembe n’emirembe! Ensi yonna ejjule ekitiibwa kye.
Praised be his glorious name for ever! May his glory fill the whole earth! Amen, Amen!
20 Okusaba kwa Dawudi mutabani wa Yese kukomye awo.
Here end the Psalms of David, the son of Jesse.]]
