Zabbuli 76
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Eyimbibwa n’ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Asafu. Katonda amanyiddwa mu Yuda; erinnya lye kkulu mu Isirayiri.
People in Judah know God; the Israeli people honor him [MTY].
2 Eweema ye eri mu Yerusaalemi; era abeera mu Sayuuni.
His home is in Jerusalem; he lives on Zion [Hill].
3 Eyo gy’asinziira n’amenyaamenya obusaale bw’omulabe obujja bwesooza; n’engabo n’ebitala n’ebyokulwanyisa byonna eby’olutalo.
There he broke the flaming arrows [that his enemies shot], [and he also broke] their shields and swords and other weapons that they used in battles.
4 Owa ekitangaala, oli wa kitiibwa okusinga ensozi ennene eziriko ensolo eziyiggibwa.
God, you are glorious! You are like a king [as you return from] the mountains [where you defeated your enemies].
5 Ab’amaanyi bagalamira nga banyaguluddwa, beebaka ne batasobola kugolokoka, ne watabaawo n’omu asobola okuyimusa omukono gwe.
Their brave soldiers [were killed, and then those who killed them] took away everything that those soldiers had. Those enemies died [EUP], [so] they were unable to use their weapons [any more]!
6 Bw’obaboggolera, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo, abeebagala embalaasi ezisika ebigaali bagwiira wamu n’ebigaali ne batagolokoka.
When you, the God whom Jacob [worshiped], rebuked [your enemies], [the result was that their] horses and their riders fell down dead.
7 Ggwe ayi Katonda, osaanira okutiibwanga. Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso go ng’osunguwadde?
But you cause everyone to be afraid. When you are angry [and you punish people], no one can [RHQ] endure it.
8 Osalira abantu emisango ng’osinziira mu ggulu, ensi n’etya n’ekankana n’esirika olw’obusungu bwo,
From heaven you proclaimed that you would judge people, [and then everyone on] the earth was afraid and did not say [anything more],
9 bw’ogolokoka okusala omusango, okuwonya ababonyaabonyezebwa mu nsi.
when you arose to declare that you would punish [wicked people] and rescue all those whom they had oppressed.
10 Bw’osunguwalira omuntu kikuleetera okutenderezebwa, n’abo b’otasunguwalidde ne beegendereza.
When [you punish those] with whom you are angry, your people will praise you, and [your enemies] who (survive/are not killed) will worship you on your festival days.
11 Mweyame obweyamo bwammwe eri Mukama Katonda wammwe, era mubutuukirizenga; bonna abamuli okumpi bamuleetere ebirabo, kubanga asaanidde okutiibwa.
[So] give to Yahweh the offerings that you promised to give to him; all the people of nearby people-groups should also bring gifts to him, the one who is awesome.
12 Mukama akkakkanya abalangira, ne bakabaka b’ensi bamutya.
He humbles [IDM] princes, and [even] causes [great] kings to be terrified.
