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.
For the leader. On shoshannim, eduth. Of Asaph, a psalm. Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock of sheep; from your throne on the cherubs shine forth
2 Amaanyi go galabike mu Efulayimu, ne mu Benyamini ne mu Manase, ojje otulokole.
before Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin. Stir up your mighty power, come to our help.
3 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda, otutunuulize amaaso ag’ekisa, otulokole.
God, restore us: show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.
4 Ayi Katonda, Mukama ow’Eggye, olituusa ddi okusunguwalira okusaba kw’abantu bo?
O Lord of hosts, how long is your anger to smoke, despite the prayer of your people?
5 Wabaliisa emmere ejjudde amaziga; n’obanywesa ebikopo by’amaziga musera.
You have fed them with bread of tears, you have made them drink tears by the measure.
6 Otufudde eky’okusekererwa mu baliraanwa baffe, n’abalabe baffe ne batuduulira.
The scorn of our neighbors you make us, the laughing-stock of our foes.
7 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye, otutunuulize amaaso go ag’ekisa, tulokolebwe.
God of hosts, restore us: show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.
8 Waleeta omuzabbibu ng’oguggya mu Misiri; n’ogobamu amawanga agaali mu nsi muno n’ogusimba.
A vine out of Egypt you brought; you did drive out the nations, and plant her;
9 Wagulongooseza ettaka, ne gumera, emirandira ne ginywera bulungi, ne gwagaagala mu nsi.
in the ground you did clear she struck root, and she filled all the land.
10 Ekisiikirize kyagwo ne kibikka ensozi, n’amatabi gaagwo ne gaba ng’emivule egy’amaanyi.
The shade of her covered the mountains, her branches the cedars of God.
11 Amatabi gaagwo ne gatuuka ku Nnyanja eya Wakati n’amatabi g’ennyanja gaayo ne gatuuka ku Mugga Fulaati.
She sent forth her shoots to the sea, and her branches as far as the River.
12 Kale wamenyera ki ebisenge byagwo, abayitawo bonna ne beenogera ebibala byagwo?
Why have you torn down her fences, and left her to be plucked at by all who pass by,
13 Embizzi ez’omu kibira zigwonoona, na buli nsolo ey’omu nsiko egulya.
to be gnawed by the boar from the forest, and devoured by the beasts of the field?
14 Tukyukire, Ayi Katonda ow’Eggye, otunuulire ensi ng’osinziira mu ggulu; olabirire omuzabbibu guno.
O God of hosts, return: look down from heaven and see and visit this vine, and restore her
15 Gwe wagwesimbira n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, era ggwe weerondera omwana wo.
the vine which your right hand has planted.
16 Bagutemye, ne bagwokya omuliro; abakoze ekyo banenye mu bukambwe, obazikirize.
She is burned with fire and cut down before your stern face they are perishing.
17 Naye muwe amaanyi omusajja oyo gw’oyagala era omwana oyo gwe weerondera.
Support the one you have chosen, the one you have raised for yourself;
18 Bwe tutyo tuleme okukuvaako, n’okukukuba amabega. Otuzzeemu amaanyi, naffe tunaakoowoolanga erinnya lyo.
then from you we will never draw back. Preserve us, and we will call on your name.
19 Otukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, otutunuulize amaaso go ag’ekisa, tulyoke tulokolebwe.
Lord, God of hosts, restore us: Show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.
