Zabbuli
Essaala y’omuntu abonaabona era ali mu buyinike,* n’ategeeza Yakuwa ebimweraliikiriza.+
2 Tonkweka bwenyi bwo nga ndi mu nnaku.+
3 Kubanga obulamu bwange buggwaawo ng’omukka,
N’amagumba gange gengereredde ng’amanda agaaka.+
4 Omutima gwange gulinga omuddo ogwokeddwa akasana ne gukala,+
Kubanga nneerabira n’okulya emmere yange.
6 Nfaanana nga kimbala ow’omu lukoola;
Nninga ekiwuugulu mu matongo.
8 Abalabe bange banvuma okuzibya obudde.+
Abo abansekerera* bakozesa erinnya lyange bwe baba bakolima.
9 Evvu lye ndya ng’emmere,+
Era bye nnywa bitabuddwamu amaziga,+
10 Olw’obusungu bwo n’ekiruyi kyo,
Wansitula n’onkasuka eri.
13 Mazima ddala ojja kuyimuka osaasire Sayuuni,+
Kubanga kye kiseera okumulaga ekisa;+
Ekiseera ekigereke kituuse.+
15 Amawanga gajja kutya erinnya lya Yakuwa,
Era bakabaka bonna ab’omu nsi bajja kutya ekitiibwa kyo.+
19 Yakuwa atunula wansi ng’ayima mu watukuvu we waggulu,+
Atunuulira ensi ng’ayima mu ggulu,
20 Okuwulira okusinda kw’omusibe,+
Okusumulula abo abasaliddwa ogw’okufa,+
21 Erinnya lya Yakuwa lisobole okulangirirwa mu Sayuuni+
N’ettendo lye mu Yerusaalemi,
22 Ng’amawanga n’obwakabaka bikuŋŋaanye wamu
Okuweereza Yakuwa.+
23 Yanzigyako amaanyi gange nga nkyali muto;
Yasala ku nnaku zange.
25 Edda ennyo wassaawo emisingi gy’ensi,
N’eggulu nalyo mulimu gwa mikono gyo.+
26 Birisaanawo naye ggwe olisigalawo;
Byonna birikaddiwa ng’olugoye.
Olibikyusa ng’ekyambalo, era biriggwaawo.
27 Naye ggwe tokyuka, era emyaka gyo tegirikoma.+
28 Abaana b’abaweereza bo bajja kubeera mu mirembe,
N’abaana baabwe balibeera mu maaso go olubeerera.”+
