Zabbuli 1

1 Alina omukisa omuntu atatambulira mu kuteesa kw’ababi, era atayimirira mu kibiina ky’ababi, newaakubadde okutuula n’abo abanyooma ebya Katonda.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

2 Naye asanyukira okugondera amateeka ga Mukama, era mu mateeka ago mw’alowooleza emisana n’ekiro.

But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 Afaanana ng’omuti ogwasimbibwa ku mabbali g’omugga, ogubala ebibala byagwo mu ntuuko zaabyo, n’ebikoola byagwo tebiwotoka. Na buli ky’akola kivaamu birungi byereere.

And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

4 Naye abakola ebibi tebakola bwe batyo. Bali ng’ebisusunku ebifuumuuliddwa.

The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Noolwekyo abakola ebibi tebaligumira lunaku lwa kusalirako musango; newaakubadde aboonoonyi okuyimirira mu kibiina ky’abatuukirivu.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 Kubanga Mukama alabirira ekkubo ly’abatuukirivu, naye ekkubo ly’abakola ebibi liribula.

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
