Zabbuli 90
1 Okusaba kwa Musa, omusajja wa Katonda. Ayi Mukama, obadde kifo kyaffe eky’okubeeramu emirembe gyonna.
A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast bene our habitation from generation to generation.
2 Ensozi nga tezinnabaawo, n’ensi yonna nga tonnagitonda; okuva ku ntandikwa okutuusa ku nkomerero y’emirembe gyonna, ggwe Katonda.
Before the mountaines were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art our God.
3 Omuntu omuzzaayo mu nfuufu, n’oyogera nti, “Mudde mu nfuufu, mmwe abaana b’abantu.”
Thou turnest man to destruction: againe thou sayest, Returne, ye sonnes of Adam.
4 Kubanga emyaka olukumi, gy’oli giri ng’olunaku olumu olwayita, oba ng’ekisisimuka mu kiro.
For a thousande yeeres in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Obeera n’obamalirawo ddala nga bali mu tulo otw’okufa. Ku makya baba ng’omuddo omuto.
Thou hast ouerflowed them: they are as a sleepe: in the morning he groweth like the grasse:
6 Ku makya guba munyirivu, naye olw’eggulo ne guwotoka ne gukala.
In the morning it florisheth and groweth, but in the euening it is cut downe and withereth.
7 Ddala ddala obusungu bwo butumalawo, n’obukambwe bwo bututiisa nnyo.
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Ebyonoono byaffe obyanjadde mu maaso go, n’ebyo bye tukoze mu kyama obyanise awo w’oli.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.
9 Ddala ddala tumala ennaku z’obulamu bwaffe zonna ng’otunyiigidde; tukomekkereza emyaka gyaffe n’okusinda.
For all our dayes are past in thine anger: we haue spent our yeeres as a thought.
10 Obungi bw’ennaku zaffe gy’emyaka nsanvu, oba kinaana bwe tubaamu amaanyi. Naye emyaka egyo gijjula ennaku n’okutegana, era giyita mangu, olwo nga tuggwaawo.
The time of our life is threescore yeeres and ten, and if they be of strength, fourescore yeeres: yet their strength is but labour and sorowe: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
11 Ani amanyi amaanyi g’obusungu bwo? Kubanga ekiruyi kyo kingi ng’ekitiibwa kye tusaana okukuwa bwe kyenkana.
Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy feare is thine anger.
12 Otuyigirize okutegeeranga obulungi ennaku zaffe, tulyoke tubeere n’omutima ogw’amagezi.
Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.
13 Ayi Mukama, komawo gye tuli. Olitusuula kutuusa ddi? Abaweereza bo bakwatirwe ekisa.
Returne (O Lord, howe long?) and be pacified toward thy seruants.
14 Tujjuze okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo ku makya, tulyoke tuyimbenga nga tujaguza n’essanyu era tusanyukenga obulamu bwaffe bwonna.
Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.
15 Tusanyuse, Ayi Mukama, okumala ennaku nga ze tumaze ng’otubonyaabonya, era n’okumala emyaka nga gye tumaze nga tulaba ennaku.
Comfort vs according to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs, and according to the yeeres that we haue seene euill.
16 Ebikolwa byo biragibwe abaweereza bo, n’abaana baabwe balabe ekitiibwa kyo.
Let thy worke bee seene towarde thy seruants, and thy glory vpon their children.
17 Okusaasira kwo, Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, kubeerenga ku ffe, otusobozesenga okutuukiriza obulungi emirimu gyaffe; weewaawo, otusobozesenga okutuukiriza obulungi emirimu gyaffe.
And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, and direct thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, euen direct the worke of our handes.
