Zabbuli 88
1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ayi Mukama Katonda, Omulokozi wange, nkaaba emisana n’ekiro mu maaso go.
A SONG. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “SICKNESS TO AFFLICT.” AN INSTRUCTION OF HEMAN THE EZRAHITE. O YHWH, God of my salvation, Daily I have cried, nightly before You,
2 Kkiriza okusaba kwange kutuuke gy’oli; otege okutu kwo nga nkukoowoola.
My prayer comes in before You, Incline Your ear to my loud cry,
For my soul has been full of evils, And my life has come to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mbalirwa mu abo abaserengeta emagombe; nfaanana ng’omuntu atalina maanyi.
I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I have been as a man without strength.
5 Bandese wano ng’afudde, nga ndi ng’abo be basse abalinda obulinzi entaana, nga tokyaddayo kubajjukira, era nga tewakyali kya kubakolera.
Among the dead—free, As pierced ones lying in the grave, Whom You have not remembered anymore, Indeed, they have been cut off by Your hand.
6 Ontadde mu kinnya ekisinga obuwanvu, era eky’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo.
You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in depths.
7 Obusungu bwo bumbuubuukiddeko nnyo, ng’ennyanja esiikuuse n’amayengo gaayo ne gankuba okusukkirira.
Your fury has lain on me, And You have afflicted [with] all Your breakers. (Selah)
8 Ab’emikwano abasingira ddala okunjagala obammazeeko, n’onfuula ekyenyinyalwa gye bali. Nsibiddwa, so sisobola kwesumattula.
You have put my acquaintance far from me, You have made me an abomination to them, Shut up—I do not go forth.
9 Amaaso gange gayimbadde olw’ennaku. Nkukoowoola buli lunaku, Ayi Mukama, ne ngolola emikono gyange gy’oli nga nkwegayirira.
My eye has grieved because of affliction, I called You, O YHWH, all the day, I have spread out my hands to You.
10 Ebyamagero byo onoobikoleranga bafu? Abafudde banaagolokokanga ne bakutendereza?
Do You do wonders to the dead? Does Rephaim rise? Do they thank You? (Selah)
11 Okwagala kwo onookulaganga abali emagombe n’obwesigwa bwo abo abali mu kifo eky’okuzikirira?
Is Your kindness recounted in the grave? 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?
Are Your wonders known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Naye nze, Ayi Mukama, naakabiriranga ggwe okunnyamba; buli nkya okusaba kwange kunaatuukanga gy’oli.
And I, to You, O YHWH, I have cried, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14 Ayi Mukama, onsuulidde ki? Onkwekedde ki amaaso go?
Why, O YHWH, do You cast off my soul? You hide 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 expiring from youth, I have borne Your terrors—I pine away.
16 Obusungu bwo obubuubuuka bunzigwereddeko era bunzikkiriza. Entiisa yo tendeseemu ka buntu.
Your wrath has passed over me, Your terrors have cut me off,
17 Binzingiza nga mukoka olunaku lwonna; binsaanikiridde ddala.
They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have gone around against me together,
18 Ommazeeko ab’emikwano n’abo abanjagala ennyo; nsigazza nzikiza yokka.
You have put lover and friend far from me, My acquaintance [is] the place of darkness!
