Zabbuli 85
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ensi yo ogikoledde ebyekisa Ayi Mukama; Yakobo omuddizza ebibye.
To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. Thou hast accepted, O Yahweh, thy land, Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;
2 Abantu bo obasonyiye ebyonoono byabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna n’obibikkako.
Thou hast taken away, the iniquity of thy people, Thou hast covered, all their sin. (Selah)
3 Ekiruyi kyo kyonna okirese, n’oleka n’obusungu bwo obubuubuuka.
Thou hast withdrawn all thine indignation, Thou hast ceased from the glow of thine anger.
4 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda w’obulokozi bwaffe, oleke okutusunguwalira.
Restore us, O God of our salvation, And take away thy vexation towards us.
5 Onootusunguwaliranga emirembe gyonna? Onootunyiigiranga emirembe n’emirembe?
To times age-abiding, wilt thou be angry with us? Wilt thou prolong thine anger, from generation to generation?
6 Tolituzaamu ndasi, abantu bo basanyukirenga mu ggwe?
Wilt not, thou thyself, again give us life, That, thy people, may rejoice in thee.
7 Tulage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo Ayi Katonda, era otuwe obulokozi bwo.
Show us, O Yahweh, thy lovingkindness, And, thy salvation, wilt thou grant us.
8 Nnaawulirizanga Mukama Katonda by’agamba; asuubiza abantu be, be batukuvu be, okubawa emirembe; naye tebaddayo mu byonoono byabwe.
I will hear, what GOD—Yahweh—will speak, —For he will bespeak prosperity to his people, And to his men of lovingkindness, And to them who return with their heart unto him.
9 Ddala ddala obulokozi bwe busemberera abo abamutya, ensi yaffe n’eryoka ejjula ekitiibwa kye.
Surely, near unto them who revere him, is his salvation, That the Glory, may settle down, in our land.
10 Okwagala n’obwesigwa bisisinkanye; obutuukirivu n’emirembe binywegeraganye.
Lovingkindness and faithfulness, have met together, Righteousness and prosperity, have kissed each other;
11 Obwesigwa bulose mu nsi, n’obutukuvu ne butunuulira ensi nga businzira mu ggulu.
Faithfulness, out of the earth, doth spring forth, And, righteousness, out of the heavens, hath looked down.
12 Ddala ddala Katonda anaatuwanga ebirungi, n’ensi yaffe eneebalanga ebibala bingi.
Yahweh himself too, will give us the blessing, And, our land, shall yield her increase.
13 Obutuukirivu bunaamukulemberanga, era bunaateekateekanga ekkubo mw’anaayitanga.
Righteousness, before him, shall march long, —That he may make, into a way, the steps of its feet.
