Zabbuli 97
1 Mukama afuga; ensi esanyuke, n’embalama eziri ewala zijaguze.
The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
2 Ebire n’ekizikiza bimwetooloola; obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’entebe y’obwakabaka bwe.
Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
3 Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
4 Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
His lightning illuminates 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, before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Eggulu lirangirira obutuukirivu bwe; n’abantu bonna ne balaba ekitiibwa kye.
The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
7 Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
8 Sayuuni akiwulira n’asanyuka, n’ebyalo bya Yuda bijaguza; kubanga ogoberera eby’ensonga, Ayi Katonda.
Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli waggulu nnyo okusinga ensi; ogulumizibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
For You, O LORD, are Most High over 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.
Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Omusana gwe gwakira abatuukirivu, n’abalina omutima ogw’amazima bajjula essanyu.
Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
12 Musanyukirenga mu Mukama mmwe abatuukirivu, era mwebazenga erinnya lye ettukuvu.
Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
