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 Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A Psalm by Asaph. A song.] We give thanks to you, God. We give thanks, for your Name is near. Men tell about your wondrous works.

2 Mukama Katonda oyogera nti, “Neerondera ekiseera kye neetegekera era nsala omusango gwa bwenkanya.

When I choose the appointed time, I will judge blamelessly.

3 Kyokka newaakubadde ng’ensi eyuuguuma abantu ne beeraliikirira, naye nze nywezezza empagi zaayo.”

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars. (Selah)

4 Nalabula ab’amalala bagaleke, n’ababi bakomye okuyimusa ejjembe lyabwe ng’ery’embogo.

I said to the arrogant, "Do not boast." I said to the wicked, "Do not lift up the horn.

5 Mukomye okuyimusa ejjembe lyammwe eri eggulu n’okwogera nga muduula.

Do not lift up your horn on high. Do not speak with a stiff 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 south, comes exaltation.

7 wabula biva eri Katonda; era ye y’agulumiza omu ate n’atoowaza omulala.

But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts 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 YHWH there is a cup, full of foaming wine mixed with spices. He pours it out. Indeed the wicked of the earth drink and drink it to its very dregs.

9 Naye nze nnaatendanga obulungi bwa Mukama; nnaatenderezanga Katonda wa Yakobo ennaku zonna.

But I will declare this forever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

10 Mukama ayogera nti, Ababi ndibamalamu amaanyi, naye abatuukirivu nnaabongeranga amaanyi.

I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
