Zabbuli 86
1 Okusaba kwa Dawudi. Otege okutu kwo, Ayi Mukama, owulire okusaba kwange, onnyanukule, kubanga ndi mwavu atalina kintu.
A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O 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: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Onsaasire, Ayi Mukama, kubanga olunaku lwonna nsiiba nkukoowoola.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.
4 Osanyuse omuweereza wo Ayi Mukama; kubanga omwoyo gwange nguyimusa eyo gy’oli.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 Ddala ddala olina ekisa era osonyiwa, Ayi Mukama; n’abo bonna abakukoowoola obaagala nnyo.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Owulire okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama; owulirize eddoboozi erikaabirira ekisa kyo.
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
7 Bwe nnaabanga mu buzibu nnaakukoowoolanga; kubanga ononnyanukulanga.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.
8 Mu bakatonda bonna tewali ali nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama; era teriiyo akola bikolwa ng’ebibyo.
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
9 Ayi Mukama amawanga gonna ge watonda ganajjanga mu maaso go ne gakusinza; era ne bagulumiza erinnya lyo ery’ekitiibwa.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify thy name.
10 Kubanga oli mukulu, era okola ebyewunyisa; ggwe wekka ggwe Katonda.
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
11 Onjigirize ekkubo lyo, Ayi Mukama, ntambulirenga mu mazima go; ompe omutima omunywevu ogutasagaasagana, ntyenga erinnya lyo.
Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Nnaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, n’omutima gwange gwonna; erinnya lyo nnaaligulumizanga emirembe gyonna.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ayi Katonda, ab’amalala bannumba, ekibinja ky’abantu abataliimu kusaasira bannoonya okunzita, be bantu abatakufiirako ddala.
O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the congregation of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.
15 Naye ggwe, Mukama Katonda oli musaasizi era ow’ekisa, olwawo okusunguwala, ojjudde okwagala n’obwesigwa.
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 Onkyukire, onsaasire, ompe amaanyi go nze omuweereza wo; nze omwana w’omuweereza wo omukazi ondokole.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Nkolera akabonero akalaga ebirungi byo, abalabe bange bakalabe baswale; kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onnyambye era onzizizzaamu amaanyi.
Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me,
