Zabbuli 80
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ku ddoboozi, “Amalanga g’Endagaano.” Zabbuli ya Asafu. Wulira, Ayi Omusumba wa Isirayiri; ggwe akulembera Yusufu ng’alunda ekisibo kyo; ggwe atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka mu bakerubi, twakire.
To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest [between] the cherubim, shine forth.
2 Amaanyi go galabike mu Efulayimu, ne mu Benyamini ne mu Manase, ojje otulokole.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance.
3 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda, otutunuulize amaaso ag’ekisa, otulokole.
O God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4 Ayi Katonda, Mukama ow’Eggye, olituusa ddi okusunguwalira okusaba kw’abantu bo?
Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people?
5 Wabaliisa emmere ejjudde amaziga; n’obanywesa ebikopo by’amaziga musera.
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure:
6 Otufudde eky’okusekererwa mu baliraanwa baffe, n’abalabe baffe ne batuduulira.
Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.
7 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye, otutunuulize amaaso go ag’ekisa, tulokolebwe.
Restore us, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
8 Waleeta omuzabbibu ng’oguggya mu Misiri; n’ogobamu amawanga agaali mu nsi muno n’ogusimba.
Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt; thou didst cast out the nations, and plant it:
9 Wagulongooseza ettaka, ne gumera, emirandira ne ginywera bulungi, ne gwagaagala mu nsi.
Thou preparedst space before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land;
10 Ekisiikirize kyagwo ne kibikka ensozi, n’amatabi gaagwo ne gaba ng’emivule egy’amaanyi.
The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were [like] cedars of God;
11 Amatabi gaagwo ne gatuuka ku Nnyanja eya Wakati n’amatabi g’ennyanja gaayo ne gatuuka ku Mugga Fulaati.
It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river.
12 Kale wamenyera ki ebisenge byagwo, abayitawo bonna ne beenogera ebibala byagwo?
Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?
13 Embizzi ez’omu kibira zigwonoona, na buli nsolo ey’omu nsiko egulya.
The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it.
14 Tukyukire, Ayi Katonda ow’Eggye, otunuulire ensi ng’osinziira mu ggulu; olabirire omuzabbibu guno.
O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 Gwe wagwesimbira n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, era ggwe weerondera omwana wo.
Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant thou madest strong for thyself.
16 Bagutemye, ne bagwokya omuliro; abakoze ekyo banenye mu bukambwe, obazikirize.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Naye muwe amaanyi omusajja oyo gw’oyagala era omwana oyo gwe weerondera.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself.
18 Bwe tutyo tuleme okukuvaako, n’okukukuba amabega. Otuzzeemu amaanyi, naffe tunaakoowoolanga erinnya lyo.
So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Otukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, otutunuulize amaaso go ag’ekisa, tulyoke tulokolebwe.
Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
