Zabbuli 86
1 Okusaba kwa Dawudi. Otege okutu kwo, Ayi Mukama, owulire okusaba kwange, onnyanukule, kubanga ndi mwavu atalina kintu.
A Prayer. David’s. Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear—answer me, For, oppressed and needy, am I;
2 Okuume obulamu bwange, kubanga nkuweereza n’obwesigwa. Katonda wange, ondokole nze omuddu wo akwesiga.
O guard my life, For, a man of lovingkindness, am I, —Save thy servant, O thou my God, [Thy servant] who trusteth in thee;
3 Onsaasire, Ayi Mukama, kubanga olunaku lwonna nsiiba nkukoowoola.
Show me favour, O My Lord, For, unto thee, do I cry, all the day;
4 Osanyuse omuweereza wo Ayi Mukama; kubanga omwoyo gwange nguyimusa eyo gy’oli.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant, For, unto thee, O My Lord, my soul, do I lift.
5 Ddala ddala olina ekisa era osonyiwa, Ayi Mukama; n’abo bonna abakukoowoola obaagala nnyo.
For, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.
6 Owulire okusaba kwange, Ayi Mukama; owulirize eddoboozi erikaabirira ekisa kyo.
Give ear, O Yahweh, unto my prayer, And attend unto the voice of my supplications.
7 Bwe nnaabanga mu buzibu nnaakukoowoolanga; kubanga ononnyanukulanga.
In the day of my distress, will I 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 My Lord, And nothing like 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 in and bow down before thee, O My Lord, That they may glorify thy Name.
10 Kubanga oli mukulu, era okola ebyewunyisa; ggwe wekka ggwe Katonda.
For great thou art, and doest wondrous things, Thou, O God, of thyself alone.
11 Onjigirize ekkubo lyo, Ayi Mukama, ntambulirenga mu mazima go; ompe omutima omunywevu ogutasagaasagana, ntyenga erinnya lyo.
Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, I will walk steadfastly in thy truth, My heart will rejoice to revere thy Name.
12 Nnaakutenderezanga, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, n’omutima gwange gwonna; erinnya lyo nnaaligulumizanga emirembe gyonna.
I will give thee thanks, Adonay, my God, with all my heart, And will glorify thy Name unto times age-abiding.
For, thy lovingkindness, is great towards me, And thou hast rescued my soul from Hades beneath. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ayi Katonda, ab’amalala bannumba, ekibinja ky’abantu abataliimu kusaasira bannoonya okunzita, be bantu abatakufiirako ddala.
O God, the insolent, have arisen against me, And, the assembly of tyrants, have sought my life, 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 My Lord, art, A God of compassion and favour, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness a faithfulness.
16 Onkyukire, onsaasire, ompe amaanyi go nze omuweereza wo; nze omwana w’omuweereza wo omukazi ondokole.
Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, —Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Nkolera akabonero akalaga ebirungi byo, abalabe bange bakalabe baswale; kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onnyambye era onzizizzaamu amaanyi.
Perform with me a token for good, —That they who hate me may see and be ashamed, In that, thou, Yahweh, hast helped me and comforted me.
