< Psalms 41 >

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Alina omukisa asaasira omunaku; Mukama amulokola ku lunaku olw’akabi.
2 The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
Mukama anaamukuumanga anaawonyanga obulamu bwe, era anaamuwanga omukisa mu nsi; n’atamuwaayo eri okwegomba kw’abalabe be.
3 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
Mukama anaamujjanjabanga nga mulwadde; n’amuwonya mu bulumi.
4 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
Nayogera nti, “Ayi Mukama onsaasire omponye; kubanga nnyonoonye mu maaso go.”
5 My enemies have spoken evils against me: when shall he die and his name perish?
Abalabe bange boogeza obukyayi nti, “Alifa ddi n’okwerabirwa ne yeerabirwa?”
6 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: his heart gathered together iniquity to itself. He went out and spoke to the same purpose.
Bwe bajja okundaba beefuula mikwano gyange; naye munda yaabwe bankyawa era basanyuka okulaba nga ngalamidde awo nnumwa. Bwe bansiibula bagenda beesekera nga bwe baduula.
7 All my enemies whispered together against me: they devised evils to me.
Abalabe bange bonna abo bateesa mu kaama; nga banjogerako ebitali birungi.
8 They determined against me an unjust word: shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
Boogera nti, “Endwadde emukutte mbi nnyo, emukubye wansi tayinza kuwona.”
9 For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
Era ne mukwano gwange gwe neesiganga bwe twalyanga, anneefuukidde.
10 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: and I will requite them.
Naye ggwe, Ayi Mukama, onsaasire, onzizeemu amaanyi ndyoke nneesasuze.
11 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
Mmanyi ng’onsanyukira, kubanga omulabe wange tampangudde.
12 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
Onnywezezza mu bwesimbu bwange, ne mbeera mu maaso go ennaku zonna.
13 Blessed by the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. So be it. So be it.
Atenderezebwenga Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, oyo eyabaawo okuva edda n’edda lyonna n’okutuusa emirembe gyonna.
