Zabbuli 97
1 Mukama afuga; ensi esanyuke, n’embalama eziri ewala zijaguze.
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Ebire n’ekizikiza bimwetooloola; obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’entebe y’obwakabaka bwe.
Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3 Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
A fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversaries round about.
4 Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
His lightnings lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Ensozi zisaanuuka ng’envumbo awali Mukama, mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
The mountains melted 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 declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory.
7 Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down to Him, all ye gods.
8 Sayuuni akiwulira n’asanyuka, n’ebyalo bya Yuda bijaguza; kubanga ogoberera eby’ensonga, Ayi Katonda.
Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of Thy judgments, O LORD.
9 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli waggulu nnyo okusinga ensi; ogulumizibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
For Thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods.
10 Abo abaagala Mukama bakyawa ekibi, akuuma obulamu bw’abamwesiga, n’abawonya okuva mu mukono gw’omukozi w’ebibi.
O ye that love the LORD, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered 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, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name.
