Zabbuli 85
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ensi yo ogikoledde ebyekisa Ayi Mukama; Yakobo omuddizza ebibye.
For the end, a Psalm for the sons of Core. O Lord, thou has taken pleasure in thy land: thou hast turned back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Abantu bo obasonyiye ebyonoono byabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna n’obibikkako.
Thou hast forgiven thy people their transgressions; thou has covered all their sins. (Pause)
3 Ekiruyi kyo kyonna okirese, n’oleka n’obusungu bwo obubuubuuka.
Thou has caused all thy wrath to cease: thou hast turned from thy fierce anger.
4 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda w’obulokozi bwaffe, oleke okutusunguwalira.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and turn thy anger away from us.
5 Onootusunguwaliranga emirembe gyonna? Onootunyiigiranga emirembe n’emirembe?
Wouldest thou be angry with us for ever? or wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Tolituzaamu ndasi, abantu bo basanyukirenga mu ggwe?
O God, thou wilt turn and quicken us; and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7 Tulage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo Ayi Katonda, era otuwe obulokozi bwo.
Shew us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation.
8 Nnaawulirizanga Mukama Katonda by’agamba; asuubiza abantu be, be batukuvu be, okubawa emirembe; naye tebaddayo mu byonoono byabwe.
I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: for he shall speak peace to his people, and to his saints, and to those that turn their heart toward him.
9 Ddala ddala obulokozi bwe busemberera abo abamutya, ensi yaffe n’eryoka ejjula ekitiibwa kye.
Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Okwagala n’obwesigwa bisisinkanye; obutuukirivu n’emirembe binywegeraganye.
Mercy and truth are met together: righteousness and peace have kissed [each other].
11 Obwesigwa bulose mu nsi, n’obutukuvu ne butunuulira ensi nga businzira mu ggulu.
Truth has sprung out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12 Ddala ddala Katonda anaatuwanga ebirungi, n’ensi yaffe eneebalanga ebibala bingi.
For the Lord will give goodness; and our land shall yield her fruit.
13 Obutuukirivu bunaamukulemberanga, era bunaateekateekanga ekkubo mw’anaayitanga.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set his steps in the way.
