Psalms 59
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungimise ngaphezu kwabangivukelayo.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
Ngikhulula kubenzi bobubi, ungisindise ebantwini abomele igazi.
3 For, see, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
Ngoba, khangela, bacathamela umphefumulo wami; abalamandla bayangihlanganyela, kungekho siphambeko sami njalo kungekho sono sami, Nkosi.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
Ngaphandle kwecala bayagijima bezilungisa. Vuka, ungisize, ubone.
5 You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
Wena-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wamabandla, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; vuka ukuze uhambele zonke izizwe, ungahawukeli lamunye wabakhohlisayo ebubini. (Sela)
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Bayabuyela kusihlwa, behlaba umkhulungwane njengenja, bezingelezela umuzi.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, does hear?
Khangela, bempompoloza ngomlomo wabo, inkemba zisendebeni zabo, ngoba bathi: Ngubani ozwayo?
8 But you, O LORD, shall laugh at them; you shall have all the heathen in derision.
Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uzabahleka, uzaziklolodela zonke izizwe.
9 Because of his strength will I wait on you: for God is my defense.
Ngenxa yamandla akhe ngizalindela kuwe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.
UNkulunkulu womusa wami uzangandulela; uNkulunkulu uzangenza ngibone isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
Ungazibulali, hlezi abantu bakithi bakhohlwe; uzizulazulise ngamandla akho, uzehlisele phansi, wena sihlangu sethu, Nkosi.
12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
Ngesono somlomo wazo, ngelizwi lendebe zazo, kazibanjwe ekuzigqajeni kwazo, langenxa yokuhlambaza lokuqamba amanga ezikukhulumayo.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
Uziqede ngokuthukuthela, uziqede zingabi khona, ukuze bazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabusa koJakobe, kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba. (Sela)
14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
Kababuyele-ke kusihlwa behlaba umkhulungwane njengenja, bezingelezela umuzi.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
Bona kabazulazulele ukudla, nxa bengasuthanga kabalale.
16 But I will sing of your power; yes, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning: for you have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kodwa mina ngizahlabelela ngamandla akho; yebo, ngizahlabelela kakhulu ekuseni ngomusa wakho; ngoba ube yinqaba yami lesiphephelo sami ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami.
17 To you, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.
Mandla ami, ngizahlabelela kuwe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami, uNkulunkulu womusa wami.
