< 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.
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto Thee, O God, we give thanks, and Thy name is near; men tell of Thy wondrous works.
2 Mukama Katonda oyogera nti, “Neerondera ekiseera kye neetegekera era nsala omusango gwa bwenkanya.
'When I take the appointed time, I Myself will judge with equity.
3 Kyokka newaakubadde ng’ensi eyuuguuma abantu ne beeraliikirira, naye nze nywezezza empagi zaayo.”
When the earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved, I Myself establish the pillars of it.' (Selah)
4 Nalabula ab’amalala bagaleke, n’ababi bakomye okuyimusa ejjembe lyabwe ng’ery’embogo.
I say unto the arrogant: 'Deal not arrogantly'; and to the wicked: 'Lift not up the horn.'
5 Mukomye okuyimusa ejjembe lyammwe eri eggulu n’okwogera nga muduula.
Lift not up your horn on high; speak not insolence with a haughty neck.
6 Kubanga okugulumizibwa tekuva mu ddungu era n’obuyinza tebuva buvanjuba wadde obugwanjuba bw’ensi,
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the wilderness, cometh lifting up.
7 wabula biva eri Katonda; era ye y’agulumiza omu ate n’atoowaza omulala.
For God is judge; He putteth down one, and lifteth 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 there is a cup, with foaming wine, full of mixture, and He poureth out of the same; surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.
9 Naye nze nnaatendanga obulungi bwa Mukama; nnaatenderezanga Katonda wa Yakobo ennaku zonna.
But as for me, I will declare for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 Mukama ayogera nti, Ababi ndibamalamu amaanyi, naye abatuukirivu nnaabongeranga amaanyi.
All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
