Zabbuli 83
1 Oluyimba. Zabbuli ya Asafu. Ayi Katonda, tosirika busirisi n’etebaayo kanyego. Tosirika, Ayi Katonda, n’otobaako ky’okola.
A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. O God, who will ever be like you? Do not be silent, and do not be unmoved, O God.
2 Wuliriza oluyoogaano oluva mu balabe bo; abo abaagala okukulwanyisa bali mu keetalo.
For behold, your enemies have sounded off, and those who hate you have carried out a head.
3 Bateesa n’obujagujagu okulumba abantu bo; basalira enkwe abo b’oyagala ennyo.
They have acted with malice in counsel over your people, and they have plotted against your holy ones.
4 Bagamba nti, “Mujje eggwanga lyabwe tulizikirize, n’erinnya lya Isirayiri lireme okujjukirwanga emirembe gyonna!”
They have said, “Come, let us scatter them from the nations and not allow the name of Israel to be remembered any longer.”
5 Basala olukwe n’omwoyo gumu; beegasse wamu bakulwanyise.
For they plotted unanimously. Joined together against you, they ordained a covenant:
6 Abantu b’omu weema za Edomu, n’ez’Abayisimayiri, n’eza Mowaabu, n’Abakagale;
the tabernacle of Edomites and Ishmaelites, and Moab and the Hagarites,
7 Gebali ne Amoni, ne Amaleki, n’Abafirisuuti n’abantu b’omu Ttuulo.
and Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the foreigners among the inhabitants of Tyre.
8 Era ne Asiriya yeegasse nabo, okuyamba bazzukulu ba Lutti.
For even Assur comes with them. They have become the helpers of the sons of Lot.
9 Bakoleko nga bwe wakola Midiyaani, era nga bwe wakola Sisera ne Yabini ku mugga Kisoni,
Do to them as you did to Midian and Sisera, just as to Jabin at the torrent of Kishon.
10 abaazikiririra mu Endoli ne bafuuka ng’obusa ku ttaka.
They perished at Endor, and they became like the dung of the earth.
11 Abakungu baabwe bafuule nga Olebu ne Zeebu, n’abalangira baabwe bonna bafuuke nga Zeba ne Zalumunna,
Set their leaders to be like Oreb and Zeeb, and Zebah and Zalmunna: all their leaders
12 abaagamba nti, “Ka tutwale amalundiro ga Katonda, tugeefunire.”
who said, “Let us possess the Sanctuary of God for an inheritance.”
13 Ayi Katonda wange, bafuumuule ng’enfuufu, obasaasaanye ng’ebisusunku mu mbuyaga.
My God, set them like a wheel, and like stubble before the face of the wind.
14 Ng’omuliro bwe gwokya ekibira; n’ennimi z’omuliro ne zikoleeza ensozi,
Set them like a fire burning up the forest, and like a flame burning up the mountains.
15 naawe bw’otyo bw’oba obawondera n’omuyaga gwo, obatiise ne kibuyaga wo ow’amaanyi.
So will you pursue them in your tempest, and disturb them in your wrath.
16 Baswaze nnyo, balyoke banoonyenga erinnya lyo, Ayi Mukama.
Fill their faces with shame, and they will seek your name, O Lord.
17 Bajjule ensonyi n’okutya, bazikirire nga baswadde nnyo.
Let them be ashamed and troubled, from age to age, and let them be confounded and perish.
18 Balyoke bategeere nti, Ggwe wekka, Ayi Mukama, ggw’oyitibwa Yakuwa, gw’obeera waggulu ennyo ng’ofuga ensi yonna.
And let them know that the Lord is your name. You alone are the Most High in all the earth.
