< Psalms 115 >

1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake.
Kakungabi kithi, Nkosi, kakungabi kithi, kodwa ebizweni lakho nika udumo, ngenxa yomusa wakho, ngenxa yeqiniso lakho.
2 Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is now their God?'
Kungani izizwe zizakuthi: Ungaphi pho uNkulunkulu wabo?
3 But our God is in the heavens; whatsoever pleased Him He hath done.
Kodwa uNkulunkulu wethu usemazulwini, wenza konke akuthandayo.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
Izithombe zabo yisiliva legolide, umsebenzi wezandla zomuntu.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
Zilomlomo, kodwa kazikhulumi; zilamehlo, kodwa kaziboni;
6 They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
zilendlebe, kodwa kazizwa; zilempumulo, kodwa kazinuki;
7 They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they with their throat.
zilezandla, kodwa kaziphathi; inyawo zilazo, kodwa kazihambi; kazikhulumi ngomphimbo wazo.
8 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
Abazenzayo kabafanane lazo, wonke othembela kuzo.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
Israyeli, themba eNkosini. Ilusizo lwabo lesihlangu sabo.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD! He is their help and their shield!
Ndlu kaAroni, themba eNkosini. Ilusizo lwabo lesihlangu sabo.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.
Lina elesaba iNkosi, thembani eNkosini. Ilusizo lwabo lesihlangu sabo.
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us, He will bless — He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
INkosi isikhumbule, izabusisa, ibusise indlu kaIsrayeli, ibusise indlu kaAroni;
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
izabusisa labo abayesabayo iNkosi, abancinyane kanye labakhulu.
14 The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
INkosi izalandisa, lina labantwana benu.
15 Blessed be ye of the LORD who made heaven and earth.
Libusisiwe eNkosini, eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.
16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath He given to the children of men.
Amazulu, amazulu ngaweNkosi, kodwa umhlaba iwunike abantwana babantu.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;
Abafileyo kabayidumisi iNkosi, hatshi-ke loba ngubani owehlela ekuthuleni.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for ever. Hallelujah.
Kodwa thina sizayibonga iNkosi kusukela khathesi kuze kube nininini. Dumisani iNkosi!
