Psalms 77
1 To the chief Musician. On Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A Psalm. My voice is unto God, and I will cry; my voice is unto God, and he will give ear unto me.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KuJeduthuni, Elika-Asafi. Ihubo. Ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ngicela uncedo; ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ukuthi angizwe.
2 In the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.
Ngathi ngikhathazekile ngamdinga uThixo; ebusuku ngazelula izandla azazezadinwa lomphefumulo wami wala ukududuzeka.
3 I remembered God, and I moaned; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)
Ngakukhumbula, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngabubula; ngacabanga, umoya wami wancipha.
4 Thou holdest open mine eyelids; I am full of disquiet and cannot speak.
Wala ukuthi amehlo ami avaleke; ngangikhathazekile ngisehluleka ukukhuluma.
5 I consider the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Ngakhumbula ngezinsuku ezedlulayo, insuku zakudala;
6 I remember my song in the night; I muse in mine own heart, and my spirit maketh diligent search.
ngakhumbula izingoma zami ebusuku. Inhliziyo yami yacabanga lomoya wami wadinga:
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
“INkosi izakhalala kokuphela na? Ayisayikuphinde itshengise uthando lwayo njalo na?
8 Hath his loving-kindness ceased for ever? hath [his] word come to an end from generation to generation?
Kanti uthando lwayo olungapheliyo selunyamalele kokuphela na? Kanti isithembiso sayo sesiphelile kokuphela na?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? or hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
Kanti uNkulunkulu usekhohliwe ukuba lesihawu na? Usethe ngokuzonda wagodla uzwelo lwakhe na?”
10 Then said I, This is my weakness: — the years of the right hand of the Most High
Ngasengikhumbula ngathi, “Yilokhu okunginqundayo, ukuthi isandla sokunene soPhezukonke kasisekho phezu kwami.
11 Will I remember, — the works of Jah; for I will remember thy wonders of old,
Ngizayikhumbula imisebenzi kaThixo; yebo, ngizayikhumbula imimangaliso yakho yekadeni.
12 And I will meditate upon all thy work, and muse upon thy doings.
Ngizacabanga ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho nginakane ngazozonke izenzo zakho ezinkulu.”
13 O God, thy way is in the sanctuary: who is so great a god as God?
Izindlela zakho, Oh Nkulunkulu, zingcwele; nguphi unkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu wethu na?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders; thou hast declared thy strength among the peoples.
Nguwe Nkulunkulu owenza izimanga; uyawatshengisa amandla akho ebantwini.
15 Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Ngengalo yakho elamandla wabakhulula abantu bakho, izizukulwane zikaJakhobe loJosefa.
16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they trembled, yea, the depths were troubled:
Amanzi akubona wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, amanzi akubona atshotshobala; inziki zagonyuluka.
17 The thick clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound, yea, thine arrows went abroad:
Amayezi awathulula amanzi, isibhakabhaka sandindiza ngokuduma; imitshoko yakho yaphazima yaya le lale.
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind, lightnings lit up the world; the earth was troubled and it quaked.
Umdumo wakho wezwakala uphakathi kwesivunguzane, umbane wakho wawukhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wavevezela wanyikinyeka.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths are in the great waters; and thy footsteps are not known.
Indlela yakho yadabula olwandle, umkhondo wakho phakathi kwamanzi, kodwa izinyathelo zakho zazingabonakali.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Wabahola abantu bakho njengomhlambi wezimvu ngesandla sikaMosi lo-Aroni.
