Psalms 85
1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core, a psalm. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
3 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou best turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
4 Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
6 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
7 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
8 I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people: And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
Ngizalalela lokho uNkulunkulu uThixo azakutsho; uthembisa abantu bakhe ukuthula, abangcwele bakhe kodwa kabangabuyeli ebufebeni babo.
9 Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
10 Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
11 Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
12 For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
13 Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
