Psalms 22
1 For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kulandela itshuni ethi, “Impalakazi yekuSeni.” Ihubo likaDavida. Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, kungani usungidelile na? Kungani ukhatshana kokungisindisa, khatshana kwamazwi okububula kwami?
2 O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.
Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ngiyakhala emini, kodwa kawuphenduli; ebusuku, kangithulanga.
3 Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
Kanti usesihlalweni sobukhosi uNguye oNgcwele uyindumiso ka-Israyeli.
4 In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
Obaba babeka ithemba labo Kuwe; bona bathemba wena wabakhulula.
5 Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.
Bakhala kuwe bakhululwa; bathemba kuwe kabaze badaniswa.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Kodwa ngiyimpethu nje kangisumuntu, ngihozwa ngabantu njalo abanengi bangeyise.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
Bonke abangibonayo bayangihleka; bayangithethisa baze banyikinye amakhanda:
8 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'
“Uthemba uThixo lowo Thixo kamkhulule. Kamsindise njengoba ethokoza ngaye.”
9 For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.
Kanti wena wangikhupha esiswini; wangenza ngakuthemba kusukela ebeleni likamama.
10 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
Kusukela ekuzalweni kwami ngabekwa ezandleni Zakho; kusukela esiswini sikamama ulokhu unguNkulunkulu wami.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
Ungabi khatshana kwami, ngoba uhlupho luseduze njalo kakho ongangisiza.
12 Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
Inkunzi ezinengi zingihanqile; inkunzi ezilamandla zaseBhashani zingihonqolozele.
13 They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
Izilwane ezibhongayo ezibamba zidabudabule zingikhamisela imilomo yazo.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts.
Ngiyathululeka njengamanzi, njalo amathambo ami wonke akhumukile. Inhliziyo yami isiphenduke yaba yingcino; isincibilikile ngaphakathi kwami.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death.
Amandla ami asetshile qhu ingathi ludengezi, lolimi lwami luyanamathela elwangeni lwami; uyangilalisa othulini lokufa.
16 For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.
Izinja sezingihanqile; ixuku labantu ababi selingihonqolozele, sebengigwaze izandla lezinyawo.
17 I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.
Ngingawabala wonke amathambo ami; abantu bayanginyonkoloza bangiklolodele.
18 They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.
Behlukaniselana izembatho zami njalo benze inkatho ngezigqoko zami.
19 But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me.
Kodwa wena, Thixo, ungabi kude lami. Ungamandla ami, woza masinyane uzongisiza.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.
Phephisa impilo yami enkembeni, impilo yami eligugu emandleni azo izinja.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me.
Ngilamulela emlonyeni wezilwane; ngisindisa empondweni zezinyathi.
22 I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.
Ngizamemezela ibizo Lakho kubafowethu; emphakathini ngizakudumisa.
23 'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Lina elimesabayo uThixo, mdumiseni! Lani lina zizukulwane zikaJakhobe, mbabazeni! Mhlonipheni, lina lonke zizukulwane zika-Israyeli!
24 For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'
Ngoba keyisanga loba adelele ukuhlupheka kwalowo ohlukuluzwayo; kamfihlelanga ubuso bakhe kodwa walalela ukukhala kwakhe ecela ukusizwa.
25 From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.
Sivela kuwe isithathelo sokudumisa kwami emhlanganweni omkhulu; ngizagcwalisa izifungo zami phambi kwalabo abakwesabayo.
26 Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever!
Abayanga bazakudla basuthe labo abamdingayo uThixo bazamdumisa sengathi inhliziyo zenu zingaphila nini lanini!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.
Yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba izakhumbula iphendukele kuThixo, njalo lezimuli zonke zezizwe zizakhothama phansi phambi kwakhe,
28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S; and He is the ruler over the nations.
ngoba umbuso ungokaThixo njalo uyabusa phezu kwezizwe.
29 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
Zonke izinothi zomhlaba zizazitika ngokudla njalo zikhonze; bonke abangena othulini bazaguqa phambi Kwakhe labo abangeke baziphilise.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.
Abesikhathi esizayo bazamkhonza; izizukulwane zizakwaziswa ngoThixo.
31 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.
Bazatshumayela ukulunga kwakhe, ebantwini abangakazalwa ngoba ukwenzile Yena.
