< Zabbuli 75 >
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ku ddoboozi, “Tozikiriza.” Zabbuli ya Asafu. Oluyimba. Tukwebaza, Ayi Katonda. Tukwebaza, kubanga Erinnya lyo liri kumpi. Abantu boogera ku bikolwa byo eby’ekyewuunyo.
To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
2 Mukama Katonda oyogera nti, “Neerondera ekiseera kye neetegekera era nsala omusango gwa bwenkanya.
When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
3 Kyokka newaakubadde ng’ensi eyuuguuma abantu ne beeraliikirira, naye nze nywezezza empagi zaayo.”
When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)
4 Nalabula ab’amalala bagaleke, n’ababi bakomye okuyimusa ejjembe lyabwe ng’ery’embogo.
I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
5 Mukomye okuyimusa ejjembe lyammwe eri eggulu n’okwogera nga muduula.
Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
6 Kubanga okugulumizibwa tekuva mu ddungu era n’obuyinza tebuva buvanjuba wadde obugwanjuba bw’ensi,
For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
7 wabula biva eri Katonda; era ye y’agulumiza omu ate n’atoowaza omulala.
But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
8 Mukama akutte mu mukono gwe ekikompe eky’obusungu bwe ekijjudde omwenge ogutabuddwamu ebirungo era kijjudde ejjovu; akifuka, aboonoonyi bonna ku nsi ne bakinywa ne bakimaliramu ddala.
For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
9 Naye nze nnaatendanga obulungi bwa Mukama; nnaatenderezanga Katonda wa Yakobo ennaku zonna.
But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.
10 Mukama ayogera nti, Ababi ndibamalamu amaanyi, naye abatuukirivu nnaabongeranga amaanyi.
By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
