Zabbuli 86
1 Okusaba kwa Dawudi. Otege okutu kwo, Ayi Mukama, owulire okusaba kwange, onnyanukule, kubanga ndi mwavu atalina kintu.
A Prayer by David. Hear, LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Okuume obulamu bwange, kubanga nkuweereza n’obwesigwa. Katonda wange, ondokole nze omuddu wo akwesiga.
Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Onsaasire, Ayi Mukama, kubanga olunaku lwonna nsiiba nkukoowoola.
Be merciful to me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4 Osanyuse omuweereza wo Ayi Mukama; kubanga omwoyo gwange nguyimusa eyo gy’oli.
Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Ddala ddala olina ekisa era osonyiwa, Ayi Mukama; n’abo bonna abakukoowoola obaagala nnyo.
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6 Owulire okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama; owulirize eddoboozi erikaabirira ekisa kyo.
Hear, LORD, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7 Bwe nnaabanga mu buzibu nnaakukoowoolanga; kubanga ononnyanukulanga.
In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.
8 Mu bakatonda bonna tewali ali nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama; era teriiyo akola bikolwa ng’ebibyo.
There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.
9 Ayi Mukama amawanga gonna ge watonda ganajjanga mu maaso go ne gakusinza; era ne bagulumiza erinnya lyo ery’ekitiibwa.
All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.
10 Kubanga oli mukulu, era okola ebyewunyisa; ggwe wekka ggwe Katonda.
For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
11 Onjigirize ekkubo lyo, Ayi Mukama, ntambulirenga mu mazima go; ompe omutima omunywevu ogutasagaasagana, ntyenga erinnya lyo.
Teach me your way, LORD. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
12 Nnaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, n’omutima gwange gwonna; erinnya lyo nnaaligulumizanga emirembe gyonna.
I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.
For your loving kindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol (Sheol h7585).
14 Ayi Katonda, ab’amalala bannumba, ekibinja ky’abantu abataliimu kusaasira bannoonya okunzita, be bantu abatakufiirako ddala.
God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they do not hold regard for you before them.
15 Naye ggwe, Mukama Katonda oli musaasizi era ow’ekisa, olwawo okusunguwala, ojjudde okwagala n’obwesigwa.
But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16 Onkyukire, onsaasire, ompe amaanyi go nze omuweereza wo; nze omwana w’omuweereza wo omukazi ondokole.
Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.
17 Nkolera akabonero akalaga ebirungi byo, abalabe bange bakalabe baswale; kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onnyambye era onzizizzaamu amaanyi.
Show me a sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
