Psalms 16
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I take refuge.
Ngilondoloza, Nkulunkulu, ngoba ngithembela kuwe.
2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto Jehovah, Thou art my Lord: I have no good beyond thee.
Ngithe eNkosini: UyiNkosi yami, ukulunga kwami kakufiki kuwe.
3 As for the saints that are in the earth, They are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
Kodwa kubangcwele abasemhlabeni, labahlekazi, ontokozo yami yonke ikubo.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another [god]: Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.
Zizakwanda insizi zabagijimela omunye unkulunkulu; kangiyikunikela iminikelo yabo yokunathwayo yegazi; lamabizo abo kangiyikuwaphatha endebeni zami.
5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot.
INkosi iyisabelo selifa lami lesenkezo yami; wena uphethe isabelo sami.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; Yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Imizila iwele kimi ezindaweni ezithokozisayo; yebo, ngilelifa elibukekayo.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel; Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons.
Ngizayibonga iNkosi engelulekayo; lebusuku izinso zami ziyangiqondisa.
8 I have set Jehovah always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Ngibekile iNkosi phambi kwami njalonjalo; ngoba ingakwesokunene sami, kangiyikunyikinywa.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
Ngakho inhliziyo yami iyathokoza, lodumo lwami luyajabula, lenyama yami izahlala ivikelekile.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol; Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Ngoba kawutshiyanga umphefumulo wami esihogweni, njalo kawuyikunikela ongcwele wakho ukuthi abone ukubola. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Uzangazisa indlela yempilo; ukugcwala kwentokozo kusebukhoneni bakho, ngakwesokunene sakho kukhona izinjabulo phakade.
