Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge you, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ayi Mukama, wakanya abo abampakanya, lwanyisa abo abannwanyisa.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
Golokoka okwate engabo, n’akagabo onziruukirire.
3 Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am your salvation.
Galula effumu, abangigganya obazibire ekkubo; otegeeze omwoyo gwange nti, “Nze bulokozi bwo.”
4 Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
Abo bonna abannoonya okunzita bajolongebwe era baswazibwe; abo abateesa okunsanyaawo bazzibweyo ennyuma babune emiwabo.
5 Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
Babe ng’ebisusunku ebifuumuulibwa empewo, malayika wa Mukama ng’abagoba.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
Ekkubo lyabwe libe lya kizikiza era lijjule obuseerezi, ne malayika wa Mukama ng’abagoba.
7 For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
Nga bwe bantega omutego nga siriiko kye mbakoze, ne bansimira n’ekinnya mu kkubo lyange awatali nsonga,
8 Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
bazikirizibwe nga tebategedde, n’omutego gwe banteze be baba bagugwamu, era bagwe ne mu kinnya kiri bazikirire.
9 But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.
Omwoyo gwange ne gulyoka gujaguliza mu Mukama, ne gusanyukira mu bulokozi bwe.
10 All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to you? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yes, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
Amagumba gange galyogera nti, “Ani afaanana nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama? Kubanga abaavu obadduukirira n’obawonya ababasinza amaanyi, n’abali mu kwetaaga n’obawonya abanyazi.”
11 Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.
Abajulizi abakambwe bagolokoka ne bambuuza ebintu bye sirinaako kye mmanyi.
12 They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
Bwe mbayisa obulungi bo bampisa bubi, ne banakuwaza omwoyo gwange.
13 But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.
So nga bwe baalwala nanakuwala ne nnyambala ebibukutu, ne neerumya nga nsiiba, ne nsaba Mukama nga nkotese omutwe, naye okusaba kwange bwe kutaddibwamu,
14 I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbour [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
ne mbeera mu nnaku ng’ankungubagira ow’omukwano oba owooluganda nkoteka omutwe gwange mu buyinike ng’akaabira nnyina.
15 Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
Naye bwe nagwa mu kabi ne beekuŋŋaanya nga basanyuse; ne bannumba nga simanyi, ne bampayiriza obutata.
16 They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
Banduulidde n’ettima ng’abatamanyi Katonda bwe bakola, ne bannumira obujiji.
17 O Lord, when will you look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.
Ayi Mukama, olituusa ddi ng’otunula butunuzi? Nziruukirira nga bannumba, obulamu bwange obuwonye okutaagulwataagulwa, obulamu bwange obw’omuwendo eri empologoma zino.
18 I will give thanks to you even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise you.
Nnaakwebalizanga mu lukuŋŋaana olukulu, ne nkutenderezanga mu kibiina ky’abantu abangi ennyo.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
Tokkiriza balabe bange kunneeyagalirako, abankyawa awatali nsonga; abankyayira obwereere tobakkiriza kunziimuula.
20 For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
Teboogera bya mirembe, wabula okuwaayiriza abantu abeetuulidde emirembe mu nsi.
21 And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
Banjasamiza akamwa kaabwe ne boogera nti, “Leero luno, ky’okoze tukirabye n’amaaso gaffe.”
22 You have seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [yourself] from me.
Bino byonna obirabye, Ayi Mukama. Noolwekyo tosirika. Tonsuulirira, Ayi Mukama.
23 Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgement, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Golokoka ojje onnyambe; nnwanirira Ayi Katonda wange era Mukama wange.
24 Judge me, O Lord, according to your righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
Mu butuukirivu bwo nnejjeereza, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, tobaganya kunneeyagalirako.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
Tobaleka kulowooza nti, “Leero luno! Kino kye twali twagala!” Oba nti, “Tumusaanyizzaawo!”
26 Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.
Abo bonna abanneeyagalirako olw’ennaku yange ne beesanyusa, batabulwetabulwe era baswazibwe; abo bonna abanneegulumirizaako baswazibwe era banyoomebwe.
27 Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
Abo abasanyuka ng’annejjeereza, baleekaanire waggulu olw’essanyu n’okujaganya; era boogerenga nti, “Mukama agulumizibwe, asanyuka omuweereza we ng’atebenkedde.”
28 And my tongue shall meditate on your righteousness, [and] on your praise all the day.
Olulimi lwange lunaayogeranga ku butuukirivu bwo, era nnaakutenderezanga olunaku lwonna.
