Zabbuli 85
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ensi yo ogikoledde ebyekisa Ayi Mukama; Yakobo omuddizza ebibye.
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.
2 Abantu bo obasonyiye ebyonoono byabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna n’obibikkako.
Thou hast borne 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 gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda w’obulokozi bwaffe, oleke okutusunguwalira.
Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.
5 Onootusunguwaliranga emirembe gyonna? Onootunyiigiranga emirembe n’emirembe?
To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?
6 Tolituzaamu ndasi, abantu bo basanyukirenga mu ggwe?
Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.
7 Tulage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo Ayi Katonda, era otuwe obulokozi bwo.
Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.
8 Nnaawulirizanga Mukama Katonda by’agamba; asuubiza abantu be, be batukuvu be, okubawa emirembe; naye tebaddayo mu byonoono byabwe.
I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.
9 Ddala ddala obulokozi bwe busemberera abo abamutya, ensi yaffe n’eryoka ejjula ekitiibwa kye.
Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.
10 Okwagala n’obwesigwa bisisinkanye; obutuukirivu n’emirembe binywegeraganye.
Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,
11 Obwesigwa bulose mu nsi, n’obutukuvu ne butunuulira ensi nga businzira mu ggulu.
Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,
12 Ddala ddala Katonda anaatuwanga ebirungi, n’ensi yaffe eneebalanga ebibala bingi.
Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.
13 Obutuukirivu bunaamukulemberanga, era bunaateekateekanga ekkubo mw’anaayitanga.
Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
