Zabbuli 97
1 Mukama afuga; ensi esanyuke, n’embalama eziri ewala zijaguze.
YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.
2 Ebire n’ekizikiza bimwetooloola; obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’entebe y’obwakabaka bwe.
Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
3 Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.
4 Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.
5 Ensozi zisaanuuka ng’envumbo awali Mukama, mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Eggulu lirangirira obutuukirivu bwe; n’abantu bonna ne balaba ekitiibwa kye.
The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.
7 Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.
8 Sayuuni akiwulira n’asanyuka, n’ebyalo bya Yuda bijaguza; kubanga ogoberera eby’ensonga, Ayi Katonda.
Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.
9 Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli waggulu nnyo okusinga ensi; ogulumizibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over all gods.
10 Abo abaagala Mukama bakyawa ekibi, akuuma obulamu bw’abamwesiga, n’abawonya okuva mu mukono gw’omukozi w’ebibi.
You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping 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 [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.
12 Musanyukirenga mu Mukama mmwe abatuukirivu, era mwebazenga erinnya lye ettukuvu.
Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
