Psalms 97
1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.
Mukama afuga; ensi esanyuke, n’embalama eziri ewala zijaguze.
2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.
Ebire n’ekizikiza bimwetooloola; obutuukirivu n’obwenkanya gwe musingi gw’entebe y’obwakabaka bwe.
3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.
Omuliro gumukulembera ne gwokya abalabe be ku njuyi zonna.
4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.
Okumyansa kwe kumulisa ensi; ensi n’ekulaba n’ekankana.
5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.
Ensozi zisaanuuka ng’envumbo awali Mukama, mu maaso ga Mukama ow’ensi yonna.
6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.
Eggulu lirangirira obutuukirivu bwe; n’abantu bonna ne balaba ekitiibwa kye.
7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.
Abasinza ebifaananyi ebikole n’emikono bonna baswadde, abo abeenyumiririza mu bifaananyi ebyole. Mumusinze mwe mwenna bakatonda.
8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.
Sayuuni akiwulira n’asanyuka, n’ebyalo bya Yuda bijaguza; kubanga ogoberera eby’ensonga, Ayi Katonda.
9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.
Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Mukama, oli waggulu nnyo okusinga ensi; ogulumizibwa okusinga bakatonda bonna.
10 You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.
Abo abaagala Mukama bakyawa ekibi, akuuma obulamu bw’abamwesiga, n’abawonya okuva mu mukono gw’omukozi w’ebibi.
11 Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.
Omusana gwe gwakira abatuukirivu, n’abalina omutima ogw’amazima bajjula essanyu.
12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
Musanyukirenga mu Mukama mmwe abatuukirivu, era mwebazenga erinnya lye ettukuvu.
