Zabbuli 85
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ensi yo ogikoledde ebyekisa Ayi Mukama; Yakobo omuddizza ebibye.
For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah Lord, you have shown your kindness to your land; you have restored Jacob's prosperity.
2 Abantu bo obasonyiye ebyonoono byabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna n’obibikkako.
You took away your people's guilt; you forgave all their sins. (Selah)
3 Ekiruyi kyo kyonna okirese, n’oleka n’obusungu bwo obubuubuuka.
You took back your fury; you turned away from your fierce anger.
4 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda w’obulokozi bwaffe, oleke okutusunguwalira.
Bring us back to you, God of our salvation! Take away your anger towards us.
5 Onootusunguwaliranga emirembe gyonna? Onootunyiigiranga emirembe n’emirembe?
Are you going to be furious with us forever? Will you stay angry with us for all future generations?
6 Tolituzaamu ndasi, abantu bo basanyukirenga mu ggwe?
Won't you restore our lives so your people can find happiness in you?
7 Tulage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo Ayi Katonda, era otuwe obulokozi bwo.
Show us your trustworthy love, Lord! Give us your salvation!
8 Nnaawulirizanga Mukama Katonda by’agamba; asuubiza abantu be, be batukuvu be, okubawa emirembe; naye tebaddayo mu byonoono byabwe.
Let me hear what God has to say. God speaks peace to his people, to those who trust in him. But they must not return to their foolish ways.
9 Ddala ddala obulokozi bwe busemberera abo abamutya, ensi yaffe n’eryoka ejjula ekitiibwa kye.
Truly God's salvation is with those who do as he says. His glorious presence will live with us in our land.
10 Okwagala n’obwesigwa bisisinkanye; obutuukirivu n’emirembe binywegeraganye.
Trustworthiness and faithful love join together; goodness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Obwesigwa bulose mu nsi, n’obutukuvu ne butunuulira ensi nga businzira mu ggulu.
What is true grows up from the earth; what is right looks down from heaven.
12 Ddala ddala Katonda anaatuwanga ebirungi, n’ensi yaffe eneebalanga ebibala bingi.
The Lord will certainly give us all that is good, and our land will produce fine crops.
13 Obutuukirivu bunaamukulemberanga, era bunaateekateekanga ekkubo mw’anaayitanga.
Truth and right go ahead of him to prepare a path for him to walk on.
