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 surroundeth him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
3 Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies on every side.
4 Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 Ensozi zisaanuuka ng’envumbo awali Mukama, mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
The hills 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 declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
7 Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship 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 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.
Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth 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.
Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
