Psalms 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Amazulu afakaza inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; lomkhathi utshumayela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Usuku ngosuku lezizinto ziyakhuluma; ubusuku lobusuku zibonisa ulwazi.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Akula nkulumo, akula mazwi ilizwi lazo alizwakali.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Kodwa Ilizwi lazo lizwakala emhlabeni wonke, amazwi azo afika emikhawulweni yomhlaba. Emazulwini uNkulunkulu uselakhele ithente ilanga.
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
Lona linjengomyeni ephuma exhibeni lakhe, njengentshantshu ethakazelela ukugijima ibanga layo.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Liphuma emkhawulweni wamazulu lihambe indlela yalo liyotshona ngakuloyana; kakukho okusithekileyo ekutshiseni kwalo.
7 The law of Yhwh is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of Yhwh is sure, making wise the simple.
Umthetho kaThixo uphelele uvuselela umphefumulo. Izimiso zikaThixo zithembekile, zihlakaniphisa izithutha.
8 The statutes of Yhwh are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of Yhwh is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Iziqondiso zikaThixo zilungile, ziletha ukuthokoza enhliziyweni. Imilayo kaThixo isobala, iletha ukukhanya emehlweni.
9 The fear of Yhwh is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of Yhwh are true and righteous altogether.
Ukumesaba uThixo kuhlanzekile, kumi kuze kube phakade. Izahlulelo zikaThixo ziqinisekile njalo zilungile ngokupheleleyo.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Ziligugu okudlula igolide, okudlula igolide elinengi elicengekileyo; zimnandi kuloluju, uluju olujuluka ohlangeni.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
Ngazo inceku yakho iyacetshiswa; ukuzilandela kulomvuzo omkhulu.
12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret sins.
Ngubani ongazizwisisa iziphambeko zakhe? Thethelela iziphambeko zami ezisithekileyo.
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
Phephisa inceku yakho ezonweni zamabomo; sengathi zingeze zabusa phezu kwami. Lapho ngizakuba msulwa ngingabi lacala lokona okukhulu.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Yhwh, my strength, and my redeemer.
Sengathi amazwi omlomo wami leminakano yenhliziyo yami kungathokozisa emehlweni akho, Oh Thixo, Dwala lami loMhlengi wami.
