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 praise you, God, we praise you: we would call on your name and declare your wonders.

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

‘At the time I choose, I will judge fairly.

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

Though earth melt and all her inhabitants, it is I who keep steady her pillars.’ (Selah)

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

I say to the boasters, ‘Boast not’; to the wicked, ‘Lift not up your horn:

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

lift not your horn on high, speak not boldly against the Rock.’

6 Kubanga okugulumizibwa tekuva mu ddungu era n’obuyinza tebuva buvanjuba wadde obugwanjuba bw’ensi,

For not from east nor west, not from desert nor mountains;

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

but God himself is the judge, humbling one and exalting 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.

In the hand of the Lord is a cup foaming wine, richly spiced. Out of this he pours a draught, and all the wicked of earth must drain it down to the dregs.

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

But I will rejoice forever, singing praise to the God of Jacob.

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

I will hew all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the just shall be lifted.
