Psalms 84
1 To him that excelleth upon Gittith. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. O Lord of hostes, howe amiable are thy Tabernacles!
Athandeka kangakanani amathente akho, Nkosi yamabandla!
2 My soule longeth, yea, and fainteth for the courtes of the Lord: for mine heart and my flesh reioyce in the liuing God.
Umphefumulo wami uyalangatha, yebo ngitsho, uyaphela yikunxwanela amaguma eNkosi. Inhliziyo yami lenyama yami kuyakhala kuNkulunkulu ophilayo.
3 Yea, the sparrowe hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest for her, where she may lay her yong: euen by thine altars, O Lord of hostes, my King and my God.
Intaka layo iyathola indlu, lenkonjane isidleke sayo, lapho engabeka khona abantwana bayo, amalathi akho, Nkosi yamabandla, Nkosi yami, loNkulunkulu wami.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thine house: they will euer praise thee. (Selah)
Babusisiwe abahlala endlini yakho, bazahlala bedumisa wena. (Sela)
5 Blessed is the man, whose strength is in thee, and in whose heart are thy wayes.
Ubusisiwe umuntu omandla akhe akuwe, okukhona imigwaqo emikhulu enhliziyweni yabo.
6 They going through the vale of Baca, make welles therein: the raine also couereth the pooles.
Abadabula isihotsha seBaka basenza sibe ngumthombo; yebo, insewula iyakugoqela ngezibusiso.
7 They goe from strength to strength, till euery one appeare before God in Zion.
Bahamba besuka emandleni besiya emandleni, ngulowo lalowo abonakale phambi kukaNkulunkulu eZiyoni.
8 O Lord God of hostes, heare my prayer: hearken, O God of Iaakob. (Selah)
Nkosi Nkulunkulu wamabandla, zwana umkhuleko wami, ubeke indlebe, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe. (Sela)
9 Beholde, O God, our shielde, and looke vpon the face of thine Anointed.
Nkulunkulu, sihlangu sethu, khangela ubone ubuso bogcotshiweyo wakho.
10 For a day in thy courtes is better then a thousand other where: I had rather be a doore keeper in the House of my God, then to dwell in the Tabernacles of wickednesse.
Ngoba usuku emagumeni akho lungcono kulenkulungwane. Ngikhetha ukuba sembundwini womnyango endlini kaNkulunkulu wami kulokuhlala emathenteni enkohlakalo.
11 For the Lord God is the sunne and shielde vnto vs: the Lord will giue grace and glory, and no good thing will he withhold from them that walke vprightly.
Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu ililanga lesihlangu; iNkosi izakupha umusa lodumo; kayibagodleli okuhle abahamba ngobuqotho.
12 O Lord of hostes, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Nkosi yamabandla, ubusisiwe umuntu othemba kuwe.
