< Psalms 116 >

1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
Ngiyamthanda uThixo ngoba walizwa ilizwi lami; wezwa ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
Ngoba wangipha indlela yakhe, ngizambiza kokuphela nxa ngisaphila.
3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)
Izibopho zokufa zangithandela, ubuhlungu obukhulu bengcwaba bangehlela; ngagajelwa yikuhlupheka losizi. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
Ngasengibiza ibizo likaThixo: “Oh Thixo ake ungisindise!”
5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
UThixo ulomusa njalo ulungile; uNkulunkulu wethu ulesihawu.
6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
UThixo uvikela abalenhliziyo ethobekileyo; ngathi ngihluphekile kakhulu wangisindisa.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Phumula njalo, we mphefumulo wami, ngoba uThixo ukwenzile ukulunga.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
Ngoba wena Thixo, uwukhulule umphefumulo wami ekufeni, amehlo ami ezinyembezini, lezinyawo zami azaze zakhubeka,
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
ukuze ngihambe phambi kukaThixo elizweni labaphilayo.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
Ngathembela kuThixo; ngakho ngasengisithi, “Ngiyahlupheka kakhulu.”
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
Ngiphakathi kokulahla ithemba ngathi, “Bonke abantu balamanga.”
12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?
Ngingambonga ngani uThixo ngabo bonke ubuhle bakhe kimi?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
Ngizayiphakamisa inkezo yensindiso ngimemeze ibizo likaThixo.
14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
Ngizazigcwalisa izifungo zami kuThixo phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
Kuligugu emehlweni kaThixo ukufa kwabathembekileyo bakhe.
16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
Oh Thixo, ngempela ngiyinceku Yakho, indodana yencekukazi yakho; usungikhulule emaketaneni ami.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
Ngizakwenzela umhlatshelo womnikelo wokubonga ngilibize ibizo likaThixo
18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
Ngizazigcwalisa izifungo zami kuThixo phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe,
19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
emagumeni endlu kaThixo phakathi kwakho, wena Jerusalema. Dumisani uThixo.
