Zabbuli 146

1 Tendereza Mukama! Tendereza Mukama ggwe emmeeme yange!

Praise all of you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 Nnaatenderezanga Mukama ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwange; nnaayimbanga okutendereza Katonda wange nga nkyali mulamu.

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

3 Teweesiganga bafuzi, wadde abantu obuntu omutali buyambi.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 Kubanga bafa ne bakka emagombe; ne ku lunaku olwo lwennyini, byonna bye baba bateeseteese ne bifa.

His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

5 Yeesiimye oyo ayambibwa Katonda wa Yakobo; ng’essuubi lye liri mu Mukama Katonda we,

Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

6 eyakola eggulu n’ensi n’ennyanja ne byonna ebirimu, era omwesigwa emirembe gyonna.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:

7 Atereeza ensonga z’abajoogebwa mu bwenkanya, n’abalumwa enjala abawa ebyokulya. Mukama asumulula abasibe.

Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

8 Mukama azibula amaaso ga bamuzibe, era awanirira abazitoowereddwa. Mukama ayagala abatuukirivu.

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind: the LORD raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

9 Mukama alabirira bannamawanga, era ayamba bamulekwa ne bannamwandu; naye ekkubo ly’abakola ebibi alifaafaaganya.

The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

10 Mukama anaafuganga emirembe gyonna, Katonda wo, Ayi Sayuuni, anaabanga Katonda wa buli mulembe. Mutendereze Mukama!

The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.
