Zabbuli 97
1 Mukama afuga; ensi esanyuke, n’embalama eziri ewala zijaguze.
The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
2 Ebire n’ekizikiza bimwetooloola; obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’entebe y’obwakabaka bwe.
Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
4 Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
5 Ensozi zisaanuuka ng’envumbo awali Mukama, mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 Eggulu lirangirira obutuukirivu bwe; n’abantu bonna ne balaba ekitiibwa kye.
The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.
7 Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
8 Sayuuni akiwulira n’asanyuka, n’ebyalo bya Yuda bijaguza; kubanga ogoberera eby’ensonga, Ayi Katonda.
Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, LORD.
9 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli waggulu nnyo okusinga ensi; ogulumizibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
10 Abo abaagala Mukama bakyawa ekibi, akuuma obulamu bw’abamwesiga, n’abawonya okuva mu mukono gw’omukozi w’ebibi.
You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Omusana gwe gwakira abatuukirivu, n’abalina omutima ogw’amazima bajjula essanyu.
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Musanyukirenga mu Mukama mmwe abatuukirivu, era mwebazenga erinnya lye ettukuvu.
Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
