Esyonyimbo 144:1-15
Olwa Daudi.
144 Yehova, Olukuka lwaghe, apipawe,Oyukabegheraya ebyala byaghe oko malwa,Oyukabegheraya eminwe yaghe oko malwa.
2 Iye ni lwanzo lwaghe oluteleghula n’ahakongotere haghe,Obusayiro bwaghe obusikire* n’omulamya waghe,Engabo yaghe n’oyo nabiriyira mo buwamo bwaghe,Oyukanikindira ebitunga by’abandu.
3 Yehova, omundu niki uti wangamulangira,Omughala w’omundu oyukahola uti wangamutsomana?
4 Omundu asosire omuka buyira;Ebiro biwe biri ng’ekitsutsu ekikatwangana.
5 Yehova ukimaye* olubula lwaghu neryo undaghale;Utule oko bitwa nabyo bitumbemo omuki.
6 Utume ehirabyo* n’eripanza-panza esyonzighu;Ulase emisoha yaghu n’erihirasyo omw’ibulungana.
7 Erilua endata ukakaye ebyala byaghu;Unilamaye n’erinisabula omo maghetse awaghungire,Unilamaye oko byala* by’ababunga,
8 Ab’amuno awakabugha amabehiN’abakasumba ebyala byabo by’amali erilapa eby’amabehi.*
9 Mungu, ngendikwimbira olwimbo luhya-luhya.
Ngendikwimbira* esyonyimbo sy’eripipa omo kyombo ky’omuziki ky’esyosinga ikumi,
10 Ngendimbira oyukawatikaya abami erikinda;*Ngendimbira oyukasabula omughombe wiwe Daudi oko muyali owakita.
11 Unisabule n’erinilamya oko byala by’ababunga,Ab’amuno awakabugha amabehiN’abakasumba ebyala byabo by’amali erilapa eby’amabehi.
12 Abana betu b’obulume bakendibya ng’ebiti bilere-bilere ebikalasa luba-luba,Abambesa betu bakendibya ng’esyonduyi sy’oko ngonde* esyabiribatswa oko nyumba y’omwami.
13 Amadepo wetu* akendyusulamo obuli muhanda w’ebyalya;N’ebihangulo byetu ebiri omo biharo byetu by’omoli bikendikanyirira ibyabya maelfu, ibyabya makumi w’amaelfu.
14 Esyonde syetu esihakire sisyendisyahikirwa n’omwatsi mubi kutse sisyendisyatorohya;Omo bibugha byetu simwendisyalua emilake y’obuhanya.
15 Abandu abali batya bali n’obutseme!
Abandu abo Yehova yo Mungu wabo!
