Amawulire Amalungi ag’Obulokozi

61 (A)Omwoyo wa Mukama Katonda ali ku nze,
    kubanga Mukama anfuseeko amafuta okubuulira abaavu n’abali obubi ebigambo ebirungi,

    ogw’okulabiramu obulungi bwe;
olunaku lwa Mukama olw’okuwalanirako eggwanga
    era n’okuzzaamu amaanyi abo bonna abakungubaga.

okubawa engule ey’obubalagavu mu kifo ky’evvu,
    n’amafuta ag’essanyu mu kifo ky’ennaku.

    balyoke baweebwe ekitiibwa.

The Year of the Lord’s Favor

61 The Spirit(A) of the Sovereign Lord(B) is on me,
    because the Lord has anointed(C) me
    to proclaim good news(D) to the poor.(E)
He has sent me to bind up(F) the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim freedom(G) for the captives(H)
    and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor(I)
    and the day of vengeance(J) of our God,
to comfort(K) all who mourn,(L)
    and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown(M) of beauty
    instead of ashes,(N)
the oil(O) of joy
    instead of mourning,(P)
and a garment of praise
    instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
    a planting(Q) of the Lord
    for the display of his splendor.(R)
