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 Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest upon 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 might, and come to save us.
3 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda, otutunuulize amaaso ag’ekisa, otulokole.
Turn us again, O God; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4 Ayi Katonda, Mukama ow’Eggye, olituusa ddi okusunguwalira okusaba kw’abantu bo?
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry 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 makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye, otutunuulize amaaso go ag’ekisa, tulokolebwe.
Turn us again, 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 drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
9 Wagulongooseza ettaka, ne gumera, emirandira ne ginywera bulungi, ne gwagaagala mu nsi.
Thou preparedst [room] 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 the shadow of it, and the boughs 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.
She sent out her branches unto the sea, and her shoots unto the River.
12 Kale wamenyera ki ebisenge byagwo, abayitawo bonna ne beenogera ebibala byagwo?
Why hast thou broken down her fences, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 Embizzi ez’omu kibira zigwonoona, na buli nsolo ey’omu nsiko egulya.
The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
14 Tukyukire, Ayi Katonda ow’Eggye, otunuulire ensi ng’osinziira mu ggulu; olabirire omuzabbibu guno.
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
15 Gwe wagwesimbira n’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, era ggwe weerondera omwana wo.
And the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that 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 madest strong for thyself.
18 Bwe tutyo tuleme okukuvaako, n’okukukuba amabega. Otuzzeemu amaanyi, naffe tunaakoowoolanga erinnya lyo.
So shall we not go back from thee: quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name,
19 Otukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, otutunuulize amaaso go ag’ekisa, tulyoke tulokolebwe.
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
