Zabbuli 49
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola.
49 (A)Muwulire mmwe amawanga gonna,
mutege amatu mmwe mwenna abali mu nsi.
2 Ab’ekitiibwa n’abakopi, abagagga n’abaavu, mwenna;
muwulirize ebigambo byange.
3 (B)Kubanga ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange bya magezi,
ebiva mu mutima gwange bijjudde okutegeera.
4 (C)Nnaakozesanga ebikwata ku ngero,
nga nnyinnyonnyola amakulu gaazo n’oluyimba ku nnanga.
5 (D)Siityenga ne bwe nnaabanga mu buzibu;
newaakubadde ng’abalabe bange banneetoolodde,
6 (E)abantu abeesiga obugagga bwabwe
beenyumiririza mu bintu ebingi bye balina.
7 Ddala ddala, tewali muntu ayinza kununula bulamu bwa munne,
wadde okwegula okuva eri Katonda.
8 (F)Kubanga omuwendo ogununula obulamu munene nnyo,
tewali n’omu agusobola;
9 (G)alyoke awangaale ennaku zonna
nga tatuuse magombe.
10 (H)Kubanga n’abantu abagezi bafa;
abasirusiru n’abatalina magezi bonna baaggwaawo,
obugagga bwabwe ne babulekera abalala.
11 (I)Entaana zaabwe ge ganaabanga amaka gaabwe ennaku zonna;
nga bye bisulo ebya buli mulembe oguliddawo;
baafuna ettaka mu mannya gaabwe.
12 Omuntu tabeerera mirembe gyonna, ne bw’aba mugagga atya,
alifa ng’ensolo bwe zifa.
13 (J)Ako ke kabi akatuuka ku beesiga ebitaliimu,
era ye nkomerero y’abo abeesiga obugagga bwabwe.
14 (K)Okufaanana ng’endiga, bateekwa kufa;
olumbe ne lubalya.
Bakka butereevu emagombe,
obulungi bwabwe ne bubula,
amagombe ne gafuuka amaka gaabwe.
15 (L)Naye Katonda alinunula emmeeme yange mu magombe,
ddala ddala alintwala gy’ali.
16 Omuntu bw’agaggawalanga n’ekitiibwa ky’ennyumba ye nga kyeyongedde,
tomutyanga,
17 (M)kubanga bw’alifa taliiko ky’alitwala, wadde n’ekitiibwa kye tekirigenda naye.
18 (N)Newaakubadde nga mu bulamu yeerowoozaako ng’aweereddwa omukisa
kubanga omugagga abantu bamugulumiza,
19 (O)kyokka alikka emagombe eri bajjajjaabe,
n’ayingira mu kizikiza ekikutte.
20 (P)Omuntu omugagga naye nga simutegeevu tabeerera mirembe gyonna,
alizikirira ng’ensolo ez’omu nsiko.
Psalm 49
English Standard Version
Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of (A)the Sons of Korah.
49 (B)Hear this, all peoples!
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
2 (C)both low and high,
rich and poor together!
3 My mouth shall speak (D)wisdom;
the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to (E)a proverb;
I will solve my (F)riddle to the music of the lyre.
5 (G)Why should I fear in (H)times of trouble,
when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,
6 those who (I)trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
7 Truly no man (J)can ransom another,
or (K)give to God (L)the price of his life,
8 for (M)the ransom of their life is costly
and can never suffice,
9 that he should live on forever
and (N)never see the pit.
10 For he sees (O)that even the wise die;
(P)the fool and the stupid alike must perish
and (Q)leave their wealth to others.
11 Their (R)graves are their homes forever,[a]
their dwelling places (S)to all generations,
though they (T)called lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp (U)will not remain;
(V)he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the path of those who have (W)foolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of their boasts.[b] Selah
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright (X)shall rule over them in the morning.
(Y)Their form shall be consumed (Z)in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
15 But God will (AA)ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will (AB)receive me. Selah
16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich,
when the glory of his house increases.
17 (AC)For when he dies he will (AD)carry nothing away;
his glory will not go down after him.
18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself (AE)blessed—
and though you get praise when you do well for yourself—
19 his soul will (AF)go to the generation of his fathers,
who will never again (AG)see light.
20 (AH)Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
