Zabbuli 104
1 Weebaze Mukama, ggwe emmeeme yange. Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, oli mukulu nnyo; ojjudde obukulu n’ekitiibwa.
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2 Yeebika ekitangaala ng’ayeebikka ekyambalo n’abamba eggulu ng’eweema,
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3 n’ateeka akasolya k’ebisulo bye eby’oku ntikko kungulu ku mazzi; ebire abifuula amagaali ge, ne yeebagala ebiwaawaatiro by’empewo.
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4 Afuula empewo ababaka be, n’ennimi z’omuliro ogwaka abaweereza be.
Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5 Yassaawo ensi ku misingi gyayo; teyinza kunyeenyezebwa.
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6 Wagibikkako obuziba ng’ekyambalo; amazzi ne gatumbiira okuyisa ensozi ennene.
Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7 Bwe wagaboggolera ne gadduka; bwe gaawulira okubwatuka kwo ne gaddukira ddala;
At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8 gaakulukutira ku nsozi ennene, ne gakkirira wansi mu biwonvu mu bifo bye wagategekera.
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys to the place which thou hast founded for them.
9 Wagassizaawo ensalo ze gatasaana kusukka, na kuddayo kubuutikira nsi.
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 Alagira ensulo ne zisindika amazzi mu biwonvu; ne gakulukutira wakati w’ensozi.
He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
11 Ne ganywesa ebisolo byonna eby’omu nsiko; n’endogoyi ne gazimalako ennyonta.
They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga bizimba ebisu byabyo ku mabbali g’amazzi, ne biyimbira mu matabi.
By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
13 Afukirira ensozi ennene ng’osinziira waggulu gy’obeera; ensi n’ekkuta ebibala by’emirimu gyo.
He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
14 Olagira omuddo ne gukula okuliisa ente, n’ebirime abantu bye balima, balyoke bafune ebyokulya okuva mu ttaka.
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
15 Ne wayini okusanyusa omutima gwe, n’ebizigo okwesiiga awoomye endabika ye, n’emmere okumuwa obulamu.
And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man’s heart.
16 Emiti gya Mukama gifuna amazzi mangi; gy’emivule gy’e Lebanooni gye yasimba.
The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
17 Omwo ebinyonyi mwe bizimba ebisu byabyo; ne ssekanyolya asula mu miti omwo.
Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 Ku nsozi empanvu eyo embulabuzi ez’omu nsiko gye zibeera; n’enjazi kye kiddukiro ky’obumyu.
The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19 Wakola omwezi okutegeeza ebiro; n’enjuba bw’egwa n’eraga olunaku.
He appointeth the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Oleeta ekizikiza, ne buba ekiro; olwo ebisolo byonna eby’omu bibira ne biryoka bivaayo.
Thou makest darkness, and it is night: in which all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
21 Empologoma ento zikaabira emmere gye zinaalya; nga zinoonya ebyokulya okuva eri Katonda.
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22 Enjuba bw’evaayo ne zigenda, n’oluvannyuma ne zikomawo ne zigalamira mu mpuku zaazo.
The sun ariseth, they withdraw, and lay themselves down in their dens.
23 Abantu ne bagenda ku mirimu gyabwe, ne bakola okutuusa akawungeezi.
Man goeth forth to his work and to his labour until the evening.
24 Ayi Mukama, ebintu bye wakola nga bingi nnyo! Byonna wabikola n’amagezi ag’ekitalo; ensi ejjudde ebitonde byo.
O LORD, how many are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
25 Waliwo ennyanja, nnene era ngazi, ejjudde ebitonde ebitabalika, ebintu ebirina obulamu ebinene era n’ebitono.
So is this great and wide sea, in which are creeping things innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 Okwo amaato kwe gaseeyeeyera nga galaga eno n’eri; ne galukwata ge wakola mwe gabeera okuzannyiranga omwo.
There go the ships: there is that leviathan, which thou hast made to play in it.
27 Ebyo byonna bitunuulira ggwe okubiwa emmere yaabyo ng’ekiseera kituuse.
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their food in due season.
28 Bw’ogibiwa, nga bigikuŋŋaanya; bw’oyanjuluza engalo zo n’obigabira ebintu ebirungi ne bikkusibwa.
That which thou givest them they gather: thou openest thy hand, they are filled with good.
29 Bw’okweka amaaso go ne byeraliikirira nnyo; bw’obiggyamu omukka nga bifa, nga biddayo mu nfuufu.
Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 Bw’oweereza Omwoyo wo, ne bifuna obulamu obuggya; olwo ensi n’ogizza buggya.
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
31 Ekitiibwa kya Katonda kibeerengawo emirembe gyonna; era Mukama asanyukirenga ebyo bye yakola.
The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
32 Atunuulira ensi, n’ekankana; bw’akwata ku nsozi ennene, ne zinyooka omukka.
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
33 Nnaayimbiranga Mukama obulamu bwange bwonna; nnaayimbanga nga ntendereza Katonda wange ennaku zonna ze ndimala nga nkyali mulamu.
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
34 Ebirowoozo byange, nga nfumiitiriza, bimusanyusenga; kubanga mu Mukama mwe neeyagalira.
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
35 Naye abakola ebibi baggweewo ku nsi; aboonoonyi baleme kulabikirako ddala. Weebaze Mukama, gwe emmeeme yange. Mumutenderezenga Mukama.
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
