Zabbuli 106
1 Mumutendereze Mukama! Mwebaze Mukama kubanga mulungi, kubanga okwagala kwe tekuggwaawo emirembe gyonna.
Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
2 Ani ayinza okwogera ku bikulu Mukama by’akola n’abimalayo, oba okumutendereza obulungi nga bw’asaanira?
Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?
3 Balina omukisa abalina obwenkanya, era abakola ebituufu bulijjo.
Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4 Onzijukiranga, Ayi Mukama, bw’obanga okolera abantu bo ebirungi; nange onnyambe bw’olibalokola,
Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,
5 ndyoke neeyagalire wamu n’abalonde bo nga bafunye ebirungi, nsanyukire wamu n’eggwanga lyo, era ntendererezenga mu bantu bo.
That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance.
6 Twonoonye, nga bajjajjaffe bwe baakola; tukoze ebibi ne tusobya nnyo.
We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7 Bakadde baffe tebaafaayo kujjukira ebyamagero bye wakola nga bali mu Misiri; n’ebyekisa ebingi bye wabakolera tebaabijjukira, bwe baatuuka ku Nnyanja Emyufu ne bakujeemera.
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 Naye Mukama n’abalokola, olw’erinnya lye, alyoke amanyise amaanyi g’obuyinza bwe obungi.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 Yaboggolera Ennyanja Emyufu, n’ekalira; n’abakulembera okubayisa mu buziba ng’abayita ku lukalu mu ddungu.
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10 Yabawonya abalabe baabwe; n’abanunula mu mikono gy’abo ababakyawa.
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Amazzi ne gabuutikira abalabe baabwe; ne wataba n’omu awona.
And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.
12 Olwo ne bakkiriza ebigambo bye, bye yabasuubiza; ne bayimba nga bamutendereza.
Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.
13 Waayita akabanga katono ne beerabira ebyo byonna bye yakola; ne batawulirizanga kubuulirira kwe.
They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,
14 Bwe baatuuka mu ddungu, okwegomba ne kubasukkirira; ne bagezesa Katonda nga bali mu lukoola olwo.
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
15 Bw’atyo n’abawa kye baasaba, kyokka n’abaleetera n’olumbe olw’amaanyi.
And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.
16 Nga bali mu lusiisira baakwatirwa obuggya eri Musa ne Alooni abalonde ba Mukama.
They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of Jehovah.
17 Ettaka ne lyasama ne limira Dasani; Abiraamu ne banne ne libasaanyaawo.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.
18 Omuliro ne gukoleera ne gukwata abagoberezi baabwe; ennimi z’omuliro ne zookya aboonoonyi.
And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.
19 Bwe baali e Kolebu ne beekolera ennyana; ne basinza ekifaananyi ekyo kye baakola mu byuma bye baasaanuusa.
They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.
20 Ekitiibwa kya Katonda ne bakiwaanyisaamu ekibumbe ekifaanana ente erya omuddo.
Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
21 Ne beerabira Katonda eyabanunula, eyabakolera ebintu ebikulu bwe bityo mu Misiri,
They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,
22 ebyamagero bye yabakolera mu nsi ya Kaamu, n’ebikolwa eby’entiisa ku Nnyanja Emyufu.
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea.
23 N’agamba nti, Ajja kubazikiriza. Naye Musa, omulonde we, n’ayimirira mu maaso ge n’amwegayirira, obusungu bwe ne bumuggwaako n’atabazikiriza.
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].
24 Baanyooma eby’ensi ennungi, kubanga ekisuubizo kye tebaakirinaamu bwesige.
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,
25 Beemulugunyiriza mu weema zaabwe, ne batagondera ddoboozi lya Mukama.
But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
26 Kyeyava yeerayirira nti alibazikiririza mu ddungu,
Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 era nga n’abaana baabwe balisaasaanira mu mawanga ne bafiira eyo.
And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
28 Baatandika okusinza Baali e Peoli; ne balya ebyaweebwangayo eri bakatonda abataliimu bulamu.
They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Ne banyiiza Katonda olw’ebikolwa byabwe ebibi; kawumpuli kyeyava abagwamu.
Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.
30 Naye Finekaasi n’ayimirira wakati waabwe ne Katonda, kawumpuli n’agenda.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.
31 Ekyo ne kimubalirwa nga kya butuukirivu emirembe gyonna.
And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.
32 Bwe baatuuka okumpi n’amazzi ag’e Meriba ne banyiiza Mukama, ne baleetera Musa emitawaana;
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;
33 kubanga baajeemera ebiragiro bye, ne kimwogeza n’ebigambo ebitaali bya magezi.
Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34 Abantu be baalwanyisa tebaabazikiriza nga Mukama bwe yali abalagidde,
They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,
35 naye beetabika n’abannaggwanga ago ne bayiga empisa zaabwe.
But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,
36 Baasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono eby’amawanga ago ne bibafuukira omutego.
And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.
37 Baawaayo batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe eri bakatonda abo.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
38 Ne bayiwa omusaayi gwa batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe abataliiko musango, be baawangayo eri ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono Abakanani bye baakola, ensi n’eyonoonebwa n’omusaayi gwabwe.
And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
39 Beeyonoona olw’ebyo bye baakola, ebikolwa byabwe ne bibafuula abataliimu nsa nga bavudde ku Katonda waabwe.
Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.
40 Mukama kyeyava asunguwalira abantu be, n’akyawa ezzadde lye.
Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.
41 N’abawaayo eri amawanga amalala, abalabe ne babafuga.
And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Abalabe baabwe ne babanyigiriza, ne babatuntuza nnyo ddala.
Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Yabawonyanga abalabe baabwe emirundi mingi, naye obujeemu ne bubalemeramu, ebibi byabwe ne bigenda nga bibasaanyaawo.
Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.
44 Naye bwe yawulira okukaaba kwabwe, n’abakwatirwa ekisa;
Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:
45 ku lwabwe, n’ajjukira endagaano ye; okwagala kwe okungi ne kumuleetera okukyusa ekirowoozo kye.
And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
46 N’abaleetera okusaasirwa abo abaabawambanga.
He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.
47 Ayi Mukama Katonda, otulokole, otukuŋŋaanye, otuggye mu mawanga, tulyoke twebazenga erinnya lyo ettukuvu, era tusanyukenga nga tukutendereza.
Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.
48 Mukama atenderezebwenga, Katonda wa Isirayiri, emirembe n’emirembe. Abantu bonna ka boogere nti, “Amiina!” Mumutendereze Mukama.
Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.
