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, “Don’t boast!” I said to the wicked, “Don’t lift up the horn.
5 Mukomye okuyimusa ejjembe lyammwe eri eggulu n’okwogera nga muduula.
Don’t lift up your horn on high. Don’t 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 LORD’s hand 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.
