Psalms 132
1 A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;
Khumbula, Nkosi, uDavida, izinhlupheko zakhe zonke,
2 How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
ukuthi wafunga eNkosini, wathembisa kuSomandla kaJakobe:
3 'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;
Qotho, kangiyikungena ethenteni lendlu yami, qotho, kangiyikwenyukela ecansini lombheda wami;
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids;
qotho, kangiyikunika amehlo ami ubuthongo, ukuwozela ezinkopheni zami,
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'
ngize ngiyitholele iNkosi indawo, indawo zokuhlala uSomandla kaJakobe.
6 Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.
Khangela, sakuzwa eEfratha, sakuthola emasimini egusu.
7 Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.
Sizangena ezindlini zayo zokuhlala, sikhonze esenabelweni senyawo zayo.
8 Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.
Sukuma, Nkosi, uye ekuphumuleni kwakho, wena lomtshokotsho wamandla akho!
9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy.
Abapristi bakho kabembeswe ukulunga, labangcwele bakho bathabe kakhulu.
10 For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.
Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida ungafulathelisi ubuso bogcotshiweyo wakho.
11 The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
INkosi yafunga ngeqiniso kuDavida, kayiyikubuyela emuva kilo: Owesithelo sesizalo sakho ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi.
12 If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'
Uba abantwana bakho begcina isivumelwano sami lezifakazelo zami engizabafundisa zona, labantwana babo bazahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:
Ngoba iNkosi iyikhethile iZiyoni, iyifisile ibe yindawo yayo yokuhlala.
14 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
Le yindawo yami yokuphumula kuze kube nini lanini; lapha ngizahlala, ngoba ngiyifisile.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.
Ngizabusisa kakhulu ukudla kwayo, ngisuthise abayanga bayo ngesinkwa.
16 Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Labapristi bayo ngizabembathisa usindiso, labangcwele bayo bazahlabelela kakhulu ngenjabulo.
17 There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.
Lapho ngizahlumisa uphondo lukaDavida; ngimisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'
Izitha zakhe ngizazembathisa ihlazo, kodwa phezu kwakhe uzakhazimula umqhele wakhe wobukhosi.
