Zabbuli 97
1 Mukama afuga; ensi esanyuke, n’embalama eziri ewala zijaguze.
The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.
2 Ebire n’ekizikiza bimwetooloola; obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’entebe y’obwakabaka bwe.
Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.
3 Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.
4 Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.
5 Ensozi zisaanuuka ng’envumbo awali Mukama, mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Eggulu lirangirira obutuukirivu bwe; n’abantu bonna ne balaba ekitiibwa kye.
The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.
7 Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.
8 Sayuuni akiwulira n’asanyuka, n’ebyalo bya Yuda bijaguza; kubanga ogoberera eby’ensonga, Ayi Katonda.
Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.
9 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli waggulu nnyo okusinga ensi; ogulumizibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Abo abaagala Mukama bakyawa ekibi, akuuma obulamu bw’abamwesiga, n’abawonya okuva mu mukono gw’omukozi w’ebibi.
Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.
11 Omusana gwe gwakira abatuukirivu, n’abalina omutima ogw’amazima bajjula essanyu.
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Musanyukirenga mu Mukama mmwe abatuukirivu, era mwebazenga erinnya lye ettukuvu.
Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
