Zabbuli 85
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ensi yo ogikoledde ebyekisa Ayi Mukama; Yakobo omuddizza ebibye.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
2 Abantu bo obasonyiye ebyonoono byabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna n’obibikkako.
You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.
3 Ekiruyi kyo kyonna okirese, n’oleka n’obusungu bwo obubuubuuka.
You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
4 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda w’obulokozi bwaffe, oleke okutusunguwalira.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
5 Onootusunguwaliranga emirembe gyonna? Onootunyiigiranga emirembe n’emirembe?
Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
6 Tolituzaamu ndasi, abantu bo basanyukirenga mu ggwe?
Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Tulage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo Ayi Katonda, era otuwe obulokozi bwo.
Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
8 Nnaawulirizanga Mukama Katonda by’agamba; asuubiza abantu be, be batukuvu be, okubawa emirembe; naye tebaddayo mu byonoono byabwe.
I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
9 Ddala ddala obulokozi bwe busemberera abo abamutya, ensi yaffe n’eryoka ejjula ekitiibwa kye.
Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.
10 Okwagala n’obwesigwa bisisinkanye; obutuukirivu n’emirembe binywegeraganye.
Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Obwesigwa bulose mu nsi, n’obutukuvu ne butunuulira ensi nga businzira mu ggulu.
Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 Ddala ddala Katonda anaatuwanga ebirungi, n’ensi yaffe eneebalanga ebibala bingi.
The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
13 Obutuukirivu bunaamukulemberanga, era bunaateekateekanga ekkubo mw’anaayitanga.
Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
