< Zabbuli 76 >
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Asafu. Katonda amanyiddwa mu Yuda; erinnya lye kkulu mu Isirayiri.
“For the leader of the music. Upon stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph.” In Judah is God known; Great is his name in Israel.
2 Eweema ye eri mu Yerusaalemi; era abeera mu Sayuuni.
In Jerusalem is his tabernacle, And in Zion his dwelling-place.
3 Eyo gy’asinziira n’amenyaamenya obusaale bw’omulabe obujja bwesooza; n’engabo n’ebitala n’ebyokulwanyisa byonna eby’olutalo.
There brake he the lightning of the bow, The shield, the sword, and all the weapons of battle.
4 Owa ekitangaala, oli wa kitiibwa okusinga ensozi ennene eziriko ensolo eziyiggibwa.
More glorious and excellent art thou Than those mountains of robbers!
5 Ab’amaanyi bagalamira nga banyaguluddwa, beebaka ne batasobola kugolokoka, ne watabaawo n’omu asobola okuyimusa omukono gwe.
Spoiled are the stout-hearted; They sank into their sleep; The hands of the mighty were powerless.
6 Bw’obaboggolera, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo, abeebagala embalaasi ezisika ebigaali bagwiira wamu n’ebigaali ne batagolokoka.
Before thy rebuke, O God of Jacob! Fell chariot and horseman into a deep sleep!
7 Ggwe ayi Katonda, osaanira okutiibwanga. Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso go ng’osunguwadde?
Thou, thou, O God! art terrible! Who can stand before thee in thine anger?
8 Osalira abantu emisango ng’osinziira mu ggulu, ensi n’etya n’ekankana n’esirika olw’obusungu bwo,
Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; The earth trembled and was still,
9 bw’ogolokoka okusala omusango, okuwonya ababonyaabonyezebwa mu nsi.
When God arose to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth!
10 Bw’osunguwalira omuntu kikuleetera okutenderezebwa, n’abo b’otasunguwalidde ne beegendereza.
The wrath of man shall praise thee, When thou girdest on the whole of thy wrath!
11 Mweyame obweyamo bwammwe eri Mukama Katonda wammwe, era mubutuukirizenga; bonna abamuli okumpi bamuleetere ebirabo, kubanga asaanidde okutiibwa.
Make and perform vows to Jehovah, your God! Let all that dwell around him bring gifts to the terrible One,
12 Mukama akkakkanya abalangira, ne bakabaka b’ensi bamutya.
Who casteth down the pride of princes, Who is terrible to the kings of the earth!
