< Psalms 116 >

1 I love that the LORD should hear my voice and my supplications.
Ngiyamthanda uThixo ngoba walizwa ilizwi lami; wezwa ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.
2 Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him all my days.
Ngoba wangipha indlela yakhe, ngizambiza kokuphela nxa ngisaphila.
3 The cords of death compassed me, and the straits of the nether-world got hold upon me; I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Izibopho zokufa zangithandela, ubuhlungu obukhulu bengcwaba bangehlela; ngagajelwa yikuhlupheka losizi. (Sheol h7585)
4 But I called upon the name of the LORD: 'I beseech thee, O LORD, deliver my soul.'
Ngasengibiza ibizo likaThixo: “Oh Thixo ake ungisindise!”
5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is compassionate.
UThixo ulomusa njalo ulungile; uNkulunkulu wethu ulesihawu.
6 The LORD preserveth the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.
UThixo uvikela abalenhliziyo ethobekileyo; ngathi ngihluphekile kakhulu wangisindisa.
7 Return, O my soul, unto Thy rest; for the LORD 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, and my feet from stumbling.
Ngoba wena Thixo, uwukhulule umphefumulo wami ekufeni, amehlo ami ezinyembezini, lezinyawo zami azaze zakhubeka,
9 I shall walk before the LORD in the lands of the living.
ukuze ngihambe phambi kukaThixo elizweni labaphilayo.
10 I trusted even when I spoke: 'I am 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 How can I repay unto the LORD all His bountiful dealings toward me?
Ngingambonga ngani uThixo ngabo bonke ubuhle bakhe kimi?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Ngizayiphakamisa inkezo yensindiso ngimemeze ibizo likaThixo.
14 My vows will I pay unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people.
Ngizazigcwalisa izifungo zami kuThixo phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe.
15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.
Kuligugu emehlweni kaThixo ukufa kwabathembekileyo bakhe.
16 I beseech Thee, O LORD, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands.
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 the LORD.
Ngizakwenzela umhlatshelo womnikelo wokubonga ngilibize ibizo likaThixo
18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD, yea, in the presence of all His people;
Ngizazigcwalisa izifungo zami kuThixo phambi kwabo bonke abantu bakhe,
19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
emagumeni endlu kaThixo phakathi kwakho, wena Jerusalema. Dumisani uThixo.
