Zabbuli 85
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ensi yo ogikoledde ebyekisa Ayi Mukama; Yakobo omuddizza ebibye.
Lord, you have been favourable unto your land: you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 Abantu bo obasonyiye ebyonoono byabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna n’obibikkako.
You have forgiven the iniquity of your people, you have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Ekiruyi kyo kyonna okirese, n’oleka n’obusungu bwo obubuubuuka.
You have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger.
4 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda w’obulokozi bwaffe, oleke okutusunguwalira.
Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease.
5 Onootusunguwaliranga emirembe gyonna? Onootunyiigiranga emirembe n’emirembe?
Will you be angry with us for ever? 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 mercy, 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 hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not return to folly.
9 Ddala ddala obulokozi bwe busemberera abo abamutya, ensi yaffe n’eryoka ejjula ekitiibwa kye.
Surely his salvation is nigh 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 shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Ddala ddala Katonda anaatuwanga ebirungi, n’ensi yaffe eneebalanga ebibala bingi.
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.
13 Obutuukirivu bunaamukulemberanga, era bunaateekateekanga ekkubo mw’anaayitanga.
Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
