Zabbuli 96
1 Muyimbire Mukama oluyimba oluggya; muyimbire Mukama mmwe ensi yonna.
A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Muyimbire Mukama; mutendereze erinnya lye, mulangirire obulokozi bwe buli lukya.
Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Mutende ekitiibwa kye mu mawanga gonna, eby’amagero bye mubimanyise abantu bonna.
Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.
4 Kubanga Mukama mukulu era asaanira nnyo okutenderezebwa; asaana okutiibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 Kubanga bakatonda bonna abakolebwa abantu bifaananyi bufaananyi; naye Mukama ye yakola eggulu.
For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Ekitiibwa n’obukulu bimwetooloola; amaanyi n’obulungi biri mu nnyumba ye entukuvu.
Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.
7 Mugulumize Mukama mmwe ebika eby’amawanga byonna; mutende ekitiibwa kya Mukama awamu n’amaanyi ge.
Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:
8 Mugulumize Mukama mu ngeri esaanira erinnya lye; muleete ekiweebwayo mujje mu mbuga ze.
Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:
9 Musinze Mukama mu kitiibwa eky’obutuukirivu bwe. Ensi yonna esinze Mukama n’okukankana.
Adore ye the Lord in his holy court. Let all the earth be moved at his presence.
10 Mutegeeze amawanga gonna nti Mukama y’afuga. Ensi nnywevu, tewali asobola kuginyeenyaako; Mukama aliramula abantu mu bwenkanya.
Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.
11 Kale eggulu lisanyuke n’ensi ejaguze; ennyanja eyire ne byonna ebigirimu.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:
12 Ennimiro n’ebirime ebizirimu bijaguze; n’emiti gyonna egy’omu kibira nagyo gimutendereze n’ennyimba ez’essanyu.
The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice
13 Kubanga Mukama ajja; ajja okusalira ensi omusango. Mukama aliramula ensi mu butuukirivu, n’abantu bonna abalamule mu mazima.
Before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.
