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 chief musician, on stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah; his name is great in Israel.
2 Eweema ye eri mu Yerusaalemi; era abeera mu Sayuuni.
His tent is in Salem; his dwelling place is in Zion.
3 Eyo gy’asinziira n’amenyaamenya obusaale bw’omulabe obujja bwesooza; n’engabo n’ebitala n’ebyokulwanyisa byonna eby’olutalo.
There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the other weapons of war. (Selah)
4 Owa ekitangaala, oli wa kitiibwa okusinga ensozi ennene eziriko ensolo eziyiggibwa.
You shine brightly and reveal your glory, as you descend from the mountains, where you killed your victims.
5 Ab’amaanyi bagalamira nga banyaguluddwa, beebaka ne batasobola kugolokoka, ne watabaawo n’omu asobola okuyimusa omukono gwe.
The bravehearted were plundered; they fell asleep. All the warriors were helpless.
6 Bw’obaboggolera, Ayi Katonda wa Yakobo, abeebagala embalaasi ezisika ebigaali bagwiira wamu n’ebigaali ne batagolokoka.
At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both rider and horse fell asleep.
7 Ggwe ayi Katonda, osaanira okutiibwanga. Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso go ng’osunguwadde?
You, yes you, are to be feared; who can stand in your sight when you are angry?
8 Osalira abantu emisango ng’osinziira mu ggulu, ensi n’etya n’ekankana n’esirika olw’obusungu bwo,
From heaven you made your judgment heard; the earth was afraid and silent
9 bw’ogolokoka okusala omusango, okuwonya ababonyaabonyezebwa mu nsi.
when you, God, arose to execute judgment and to save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
10 Bw’osunguwalira omuntu kikuleetera okutenderezebwa, n’abo b’otasunguwalidde ne beegendereza.
Surely your angry judgment against humanity will bring you praise; you gird yourself with what is left of your anger.
11 Mweyame obweyamo bwammwe eri Mukama Katonda wammwe, era mubutuukirizenga; bonna abamuli okumpi bamuleetere ebirabo, kubanga asaanidde okutiibwa.
Make vows to Yahweh your God and keep them. May all who surround him bring gifts to him who is to be feared.
12 Mukama akkakkanya abalangira, ne bakabaka b’ensi bamutya.
He cuts off the spirit of the princes; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
