Zabbuli 88
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ayi Mukama Katonda, Omulokozi wange, nkaaba emisana n’ekiro mu maaso go.
O lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you:
2 Kkiriza okusaba kwange kutuuke gy’oli; otege okutu kwo nga nkukoowoola.
Let my prayer come before you: incline your ear unto my cry;
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draws nigh unto the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mbalirwa mu abo abaserengeta emagombe; nfaanana ng’omuntu atalina maanyi.
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that has no strength:
5 Bandese wano ng’afudde, nga ndi ng’abo be basse abalinda obulinzi entaana, nga tokyaddayo kubajjukira, era nga tewakyali kya kubakolera.
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more: and they are cut off from your hand.
6 Ontadde mu kinnya ekisinga obuwanvu, era eky’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo.
You have laid me in the low pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7 Obusungu bwo bumbuubuukiddeko nnyo, ng’ennyanja esiikuuse n’amayengo gaayo ne gankuba okusukkirira.
Your wrath lies hard upon me, and you have afflicted me with all your waves. (Selah)
8 Ab’emikwano abasingira ddala okunjagala obammazeeko, n’onfuula ekyenyinyalwa gye bali. Nsibiddwa, so sisobola kwesumattula.
You have put away mine acquaintance far from me; you have made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9 Amaaso gange gayimbadde olw’ennaku. Nkukoowoola buli lunaku, Ayi Mukama, ne ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli nga nkwegayirira.
Mine eye mourns by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon you, I have stretched out my hands unto you.
10 Ebyamagero byo onoobikoleranga bafu? Abafudde banaagolokokanga ne bakutendereza?
Will you show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise you? (Selah)
11 Okwagala kwo onookulaganga abali emagombe n’obwesigwa bwo abo abali mu kifo eky’okuzikirira?
Shall your loving kindness be declared in the grave? or your faithfulness in destruction?
12 Ebyamagero byo binaamanyibwanga mu kifo ekyo eky’ekizikiza? Oba ebikolwa byo eby’obutuukirivu bwo bye binaamanyibwanga mu nsi eyamala edda okwerabirwa?
Shall your wonders be known in the dark? and your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Naye nze, Ayi Mukama, naakabiriranga ggwe okunnyamba; buli nkya okusaba kwange kunaatuukanga gy’oli.
But unto you have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
14 Ayi Mukama, onsuulidde ki? Onkwekedde ki amaaso go?
LORD, why cast you off my soul? why hide you your face from me?
15 Ombonyaabonyezza okuviira ddala mu buvubuka bwange, era nga mbeera kumpi n’okufa; ngumiikirizza nnyo entiisa yo, era kaakano mpweddemu essuubi.
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer your terrors I am distracted.
16 Obusungu bwo obubuubuuka bunzigwereddeko era bunzikkiriza. Entiisa yo tendeseemu ka buntu.
Your fierce wrath goes over me; your terrors have cut me off.
17 Binzingiza nga mukoka olunaku lwonna; binsaanikiridde ddala.
They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
18 Ommazeeko ab’emikwano n’abo abanjagala ennyo; nsigazza nzikiza yokka.
Lover and friend have you put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
