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 him that excelleth on Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Heare, O thou Shepheard of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph like sheepe: shewe thy brightnes, thou that sittest betweene the Cherubims.
2 Amaanyi go galabike mu Efulayimu, ne mu Benyamini ne mu Manase, ojje otulokole.
Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.
3 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda, otutunuulize amaaso ag’ekisa, otulokole.
Turne vs againe, O God, and cause thy face to shine that we may be saued.
4 Ayi Katonda, Mukama ow’Eggye, olituusa ddi okusunguwalira okusaba kw’abantu bo?
O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie against the prayer of thy people?
5 Wabaliisa emmere ejjudde amaziga; n’obanywesa ebikopo by’amaziga musera.
Thou hast fedde them with the bread of teares, and giuen them teares to drinke with great measure.
6 Otufudde eky’okusekererwa mu baliraanwa baffe, n’abalabe baffe ne batuduulira.

7 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye, otutunuulize amaaso go ag’ekisa, tulokolebwe.
Turne vs againe, O God of hostes: cause thy face to shine, and we shalbe saued.
8 Waleeta omuzabbibu ng’oguggya mu Misiri; n’ogobamu amawanga agaali mu nsi muno n’ogusimba.
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Wagulongooseza ettaka, ne gumera, emirandira ne ginywera bulungi, ne gwagaagala mu nsi.
Thou madest roume for it, and didest cause it to take roote, and it filled the land.
10 Ekisiikirize kyagwo ne kibikka ensozi, n’amatabi gaagwo ne gaba ng’emivule egy’amaanyi.
The mountaines were couered with the shadowe of it, and the boughes thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 Amatabi gaagwo ne gatuuka ku Nnyanja eya Wakati n’amatabi g’ennyanja gaayo ne gatuuka ku Mugga Fulaati.
Shee stretched out her branches vnto the Sea, and her boughes vnto the Riuer.
12 Kale wamenyera ki ebisenge byagwo, abayitawo bonna ne beenogera ebibala byagwo?
Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges, so that all they, which passe by the way, haue plucked her?
13 Embizzi ez’omu kibira zigwonoona, na buli nsolo ey’omu nsiko egulya.
The wilde bore out of the wood hath destroyed it, and the wilde beastes of the fielde haue eaten it vp.
14 Tukyukire, Ayi Katonda ow’Eggye, otunuulire ensi ng’osinziira mu ggulu; olabirire omuzabbibu guno.
Returne we beseech thee, O God of hostes: looke downe from heauen and beholde and visite this vine,
15 Gwe wagwesimbira n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, era ggwe weerondera omwana wo.
And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest strong for thy selfe.
16 Bagutemye, ne bagwokya omuliro; abakoze ekyo banenye mu bukambwe, obazikirize.
It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Naye muwe amaanyi omusajja oyo gw’oyagala era omwana oyo gwe weerondera.
Let thine hande be vpon the man of thy right hande, and vpon the sonne of man, whome thou madest strong for thine owne selfe.
18 Bwe tutyo tuleme okukuvaako, n’okukukuba amabega. Otuzzeemu amaanyi, naffe tunaakoowoolanga erinnya lyo.
So will not we goe backe from thee: reuiue thou vs, and we shall call vpon thy Name.

Turne vs againe, O Lord God of hostes: cause thy face to shine and we shalbe saued.
