Zabbuli 8

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, Mukama waffe, erinnya lyo nga ddungi era kkulu nnyo mu nsi yonna! Ekitiibwa kyo kitenderezebwa okutuuka waggulu mu ggulu.

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great! Your glory reaches up higher than the heavens!

2 Abaana abato n’abawere wabawa amaanyi okukutendereza; ne basirisa omulabe wo n’oyo ayagala okwesasuza.

You have taught little children and infants to praise you; they cause your enemies and those who try to (get revenge on/get rid of) you to be silent.

3 Bwe ntunuulira eggulu lyo, omulimu gw’engalo zo, omwezi n’emmunyeenye bye watonda;

When I look up at the sky [at night], and see the things that you have made— the moon and the stars that you have set in place—

4 omuntu kye ki ggwe okumujjukira, omuntu obuntu ggwe okumussaako omwoyo?

it is amazing [to me] that [RHQ] you think about people, that you are concerned about [us] humans!

5 Kubanga wamukola n’abulako katono okuba nga Katonda; n’omussaako engule ey’obukulu n’ekitiibwa.

You made the angels in heaven to be only a little more important than we are; you caused us to be like kings [MET] and you gave us splendor and honor [DOU]!

6 Wamukwasa okufuga ebintu byonna bye wakola n’emikono gyo: byonna wabissa wansi w’ebigere bye,

You put us in charge of everything that you made; you gave us authority over all things—

7 ebisibo n’amagana ag’ebisolo byonna eby’omu nsiko,

the sheep and the cattle, and even the wild animals,

8 n’ennyonyi ez’omu bbanga, n’ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja; era na buli kiramu kyonna ekiyita mu nnyanja.

the birds, the fish, and everything [else] that swims in the seas.

9 Ayi Mukama, Mukama waffe, erinnya lyo nga ddungi era kkulu nnyo mu nsi yonna!

Yahweh, our Lord, people all over the world know that you [MTY] are very great!
