Zabbuli
Eri akubiriza eby’okuyimba; egenderako ebivuga eby’enkoba. Masukiri.* Zabbuli ya Dawudi.
2 Nzisaako ebirowoozo onziremu.+
Ebinneeraliikiriza bimmazeeko emirembe,+
Era nsobeddwa
3 Olw’ebyo omulabe by’ayogera
N’olw’omubi okunkijjanya.
Bansombera emitawaana,
Bansunguwalidde era bampalana.+
5 Okutya n’okukankana bintuuseeko,
N’okujugumira kunnywezezza.
6 Buli kiseera mba ŋŋamba nti: “Singa nnalina ebiwaawaatiro ng’ejjiba!
Nnandibuuse ne ŋŋenda mbeera mu kifo omutali kabi.
7 Nnandiddukidde wala nnyo.+
Nnandigenze ne mbeera mu ddungu.+ (Seera)
8 Nnandyanguye ne ŋŋenda mu kifo eky’okwewogomamu
Ne nva awali empewo ekunta, ne nva awali omuyaga.”
9 Batabuletabule, Ai Yakuwa, era gootaanya enteekateeka zaabwe,*+
Kubanga ndabye ebikolwa eby’obukambwe n’obukuubagano mu kibuga.
10 Emisana n’ekiro bitambulira ku bbugwe waakyo;
Kirimu ettima n’emitawaana.+
11 Akabi kali wakati mu kyo;
Okubonyaabonya abalala n’obulimba tebiva mu kibangirizi kyakyo.+
12 Omulabe wange si y’anvuma;+
Singa bwe kiri, nnandibadde nkigumira.
Oyo ampalana si y’annumbye;
Singa bwe kibadde, nnandibadde mmwekweka.
14 Twali ba mukwano nnyo;
Twatambulanga n’ekibinja ky’abantu nga tugenda mu nnyumba ya Katonda.
15 Okuzikirira ka kubatuukeko!+
Ka bakke emagombe* nga balamu;
Kubanga ebintu ebibi bibeera wamu nabo, era bibeera munda mu bo.
16 Naye nze, nja kukoowoola Yakuwa Katonda,
Era ajja kundokola.+
17 Akawungeezi ne ku makya ne mu ttuntu mba mweraliikirivu era nga nsinda,+
Era awulira eddoboozi lyange.+
19 Katonda ajja kuwulira era abeeko ky’abakola,+
Oyo atuula ku ntebe y’obwakabaka okuva edda.+ (Seera)
Abo abatatya Katonda,+
Bajja kugaana okukyuka.
20 Yalumba* abo abaali bakolagana naye obulungi.+
Yamenya endagaano ye.+
21 Ebigambo bye bigonvu okusinga omuzigo,+
Naye mu mutima gwe mulimu olutalo.
Ebigambo bye biweweevu okusinga amafuta,
Naye biringa ebitala ebisowoddwayo.+
23 Naye ggwe, Ai Katonda, olissa ababi mu kinnya ekisingayo obuwanvu.+
Abantu abo abatemu era abalimba balifa ng’ekiseera kye bandiwangadde tebannakituuka na wakati.+
Naye nze nneesiganga ggwe.
