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, you have been our refuge throughout all generations.
2 Ensozi nga tezinnabaawo, n’ensi yonna nga tonnagitonda; okuva ku ntandikwa okutuusa ku nkomerero y’emirembe gyonna, ggwe Katonda.
Before the mountains were formed, or you formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 Omuntu omuzzaayo mu nfuufu, n’oyogera nti, “Mudde mu nfuufu, mmwe abaana b’abantu.”
You return man to dust, and you say, “Return, you descendants of mankind.”
4 Kubanga emyaka olukumi, gy’oli giri ng’olunaku olumu olwayita, oba ng’ekisisimuka mu kiro.
For a thousand years in your 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.
You sweep them away as with a flood and they sleep; in the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up.
6 Ku makya guba munyirivu, naye olw’eggulo ne guwotoka ne gukala.
In the morning it blooms and grows up; in the evening it withers and dries up.
7 Ddala ddala obusungu bwo butumalawo, n’obukambwe bwo bututiisa nnyo.
Truly, we are consumed in your anger, and in your wrath we are terrified.
8 Ebyonoono byaffe obyanjadde mu maaso go, n’ebyo bye tukoze mu kyama obyanise awo w’oli.
You have set our iniquities before you, our hidden sins in the light of your presence.
9 Ddala ddala tumala ennaku z’obulamu bwaffe zonna ng’otunyiigidde; tukomekkereza emyaka gyaffe n’okusinda.
Our life passes away under your wrath; our years quickly pass like a sigh.
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.
Our years are seventy, or even eighty if we are healthy; but even our best years are marked by trouble and sorrow. Yes, they pass quickly, and we fly away.
11 Ani amanyi amaanyi g’obusungu bwo? Kubanga ekiruyi kyo kingi ng’ekitiibwa kye tusaana okukuwa bwe kyenkana.
Who knows the intensity of your anger, and your wrath that is equal to the fear of you?
12 Otuyigirize okutegeeranga obulungi ennaku zaffe, tulyoke tubeere n’omutima ogw’amagezi.
So teach us to consider our life so that we might live wisely.
13 Ayi Mukama, komawo gye tuli. Olitusuula kutuusa ddi? Abaweereza bo bakwatirwe ekisa.
Turn back, Yahweh! How long will it be? Have pity on your servants.
14 Tujjuze okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo ku makya, tulyoke tuyimbenga nga tujaguza n’essanyu era tusanyukenga obulamu bwaffe bwonna.
Satisfy us in the morning with your covenant faithfulness so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Tusanyuse, Ayi Mukama, okumala ennaku nga ze tumaze ng’otubonyaabonya, era n’okumala emyaka nga gye tumaze nga tulaba ennaku.
Make us glad in proportion to the days you afflicted us and to the years we have experienced trouble.
16 Ebikolwa byo biragibwe abaweereza bo, n’abaana baabwe balabe ekitiibwa kyo.
Let your servants see your work, and let our children see your majesty.
17 Okusaasira kwo, Ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, kubeerenga ku ffe, otusobozesenga okutuukiriza obulungi emirimu gyaffe; weewaawo, otusobozesenga okutuukiriza obulungi emirimu gyaffe.
May the favor of the Lord our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands; indeed, prosper the work of our hands.
