Psalms 85
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. You showed favor to Your land, O LORD; You restored Jacob from captivity.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
2 You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin.
Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
3 You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.
Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and put away Your displeasure toward us.
Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?
Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
6 Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?
Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
7 Show us Your loving devotion, O LORD, and grant us Your salvation.
Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say; for He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints; He will not let them return to folly.
Ngizalalela lokho uNkulunkulu uThixo azakutsho; uthembisa abantu bakhe ukuthula, abangcwele bakhe kodwa kabangabuyeli ebufebeni babo.
9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.
Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
10 Loving devotion and faithfulness have joined together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
11 Faithfulness sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
12 The LORD will indeed provide what is good, and our land will yield its increase.
Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
13 Righteousness will go before Him to prepare the way for His steps.
Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
