Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi: Ya Yedusuni. Zabbuli ya Dawudi.
39 (A)Nagamba nti, “Nneekuumanga mu bye nkola,
n’olulimi lwange lulemenga okwogera ebitali birongoofu.
Abakola ebitali bya butuukirivu bwe banaabanga awamu nange
nnaabuniranga bubunizi ne soogera.”
2 (B)Naye bwe nasirika
ne sibaako kye njogedde wadde ekirungi,
ate obuyinike bwange ne bweyongera.
3 Omutima gwange ne gumbabuukirira munda yange.
Bwe nnali nkyakifumiitirizaako, omuliro ne gukoleera munda yange;
kyenava njogera nti:
4 (C)“Ayi Mukama, ntegeeza entuuko zange nga bwe ziriba,
n’ennaku ze nsigazza;
ommanyise ebiseera byange mu bulamu buno bwe biri ebimpi ennyo.”
5 (D)Ennaku z’obulamu bwange wazitegeka ziri ng’oluta.
Obungi bw’emyaka gyange tobulabamu kantu.
Buli muntu, mukka bukka.
6 (E)Ddala ddala omuntu ku nsi ali ng’ekisiikirize.
Atawaana mu kino ne mu kiri, naye byonna butaliimu.
Akuŋŋaanya obugagga, so nga tamanyi agenda kubutwala.
7 (F)Naye kaakano, Ayi Mukama, nnoonya ki? Essuubi lyange liri mu ggwe.
8 (G)Ondokole mu bibi byange byonna,
abasirusiru baleme okunsekerera.
9 (H)Nasirika busirisi, saayasamya kamwa kange;
kubanga kino ggwe wakikola.
10 (I)Olekere awo okunkuba,
emiggo gy’onkubye giyitiridde!
11 (J)Onenya omuntu ng’omukangavvula olw’ekibi kye ky’akola,
omumaliramu ddala ensa, ng’ennyenje bw’ekola olugoye.
Ddala omuntu mukka bukka.
Psalm 39
New International Version
Psalm 39[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
1 I said, “I will watch my ways(A)
and keep my tongue from sin;(B)
I will put a muzzle on my mouth(C)
while in the presence of the wicked.”
2 So I remained utterly silent,(D)
not even saying anything good.
But my anguish(E) increased;
3 my heart grew hot(F) within me.
While I meditated,(G) the fire(H) burned;
then I spoke with my tongue:
4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end
and the number of my days;(I)
let me know how fleeting(J) my life is.(K)
5 You have made my days(L) a mere handbreadth;
the span of my years is as nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,(M)
even those who seem secure.[b]
6 “Surely everyone goes around(N) like a mere phantom;(O)
in vain they rush about,(P) heaping up wealth(Q)
without knowing whose it will finally be.(R)
7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.(S)
8 Save me(T) from all my transgressions;(U)
do not make me the scorn(V) of fools.
9 I was silent;(W) I would not open my mouth,(X)
for you are the one who has done this.(Y)
10 Remove your scourge from me;
I am overcome by the blow(Z) of your hand.(AA)
11 When you rebuke(AB) and discipline(AC) anyone for their sin,
you consume(AD) their wealth like a moth(AE)—
surely everyone is but a breath.(AF)
