Zabbuli 76
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Asafu. Katonda amanyiddwa mu Yuda; erinnya lye kkulu mu Isirayiri.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm or song of Assaph.” In Judah hath God been made known: in Israel is his name great.
2 Eweema ye eri mu Yerusaalemi; era abeera mu Sayuuni.
And in Salem was his tabernacle made, and his dwelling-place in Zion.
3 Eyo gy’asinziira n’amenyaamenya obusaale bw’omulabe obujja bwesooza; n’engabo n’ebitala n’ebyokulwanyisa byonna eby’olutalo.
There broke he the shining arrows of the bow, shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 Owa ekitangaala, oli wa kitiibwa okusinga ensozi ennene eziriko ensolo eziyiggibwa.
Thou art more brilliant, more excellent than the mountains [full] of prey.
5 Ab’amaanyi bagalamira nga banyaguluddwa, beebaka ne batasobola kugolokoka, ne watabaawo n’omu asobola okuyimusa omukono gwe.
Bereft of reason are the stouthearted, they slumber their sleep: and none of the men of might have found [the use of] their hands.
6 Bw’obaboggolera, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo, abeebagala embalaasi ezisika ebigaali bagwiira wamu n’ebigaali ne batagolokoka.
From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, lie in deep sleep both chariot and horse.
7 Ggwe ayi Katonda, osaanira okutiibwanga. Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso go ng’osunguwadde?
Thou—thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thy anger [is kindled]?
8 Osalira abantu emisango ng’osinziira mu ggulu, ensi n’etya n’ekankana n’esirika olw’obusungu bwo,
From heaven hast thou caused [thy] sentence to be heard: the earth feared, and became still,
9 bw’ogolokoka okusala omusango, okuwonya ababonyaabonyezebwa mu nsi.
When God rose to judgment, to save all the lowly of the earth. (Selah)
10 Bw’osunguwalira omuntu kikuleetera okutenderezebwa, n’abo b’otasunguwalidde ne beegendereza.
For the fury of man shall praise thee: the remainder of the fury wilt thou gird about thee.
11 Mweyame obweyamo bwammwe eri Mukama Katonda wammwe, era mubutuukirizenga; bonna abamuli okumpi bamuleetere ebirabo, kubanga asaanidde okutiibwa.
Make vows, and pay [them] unto the Lord your God, all ye that are round about him: let men bring presents unto him that exciteth fear.
12 Mukama akkakkanya abalangira, ne bakabaka b’ensi bamutya.
He will cut down the spirit of the powerful: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
