Zabbuli 76

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Asafu. Katonda amanyiddwa mu Yuda; erinnya lye kkulu mu Isirayiri.

Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

2 Eweema ye eri mu Yerusaalemi; era abeera mu Sayuuni.

And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

3 Eyo gy’asinziira n’amenyaamenya obusaale bw’omulabe obujja bwesooza; n’engabo n’ebitala n’ebyokulwanyisa byonna eby’olutalo.

There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

4 Owa ekitangaala, oli wa kitiibwa okusinga ensozi ennene eziriko ensolo eziyiggibwa.

Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

5 Ab’amaanyi bagalamira nga banyaguluddwa, beebaka ne batasobola kugolokoka, ne watabaawo n’omu asobola okuyimusa omukono gwe.

All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 Bw’obaboggolera, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo, abeebagala embalaasi ezisika ebigaali bagwiira wamu n’ebigaali ne batagolokoka.

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

7 Ggwe ayi Katonda, osaanira okutiibwanga. Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso go ng’osunguwadde?

Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

8 Osalira abantu emisango ng’osinziira mu ggulu, ensi n’etya n’ekankana n’esirika olw’obusungu bwo,

Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

9 bw’ogolokoka okusala omusango, okuwonya ababonyaabonyezebwa mu nsi.

When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

10 Bw’osunguwalira omuntu kikuleetera okutenderezebwa, n’abo b’otasunguwalidde ne beegendereza.

For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

11 Mweyame obweyamo bwammwe eri Mukama Katonda wammwe, era mubutuukirizenga; bonna abamuli okumpi bamuleetere ebirabo, kubanga asaanidde okutiibwa.

Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

12 Mukama akkakkanya abalangira, ne bakabaka b’ensi bamutya.

Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
