Psalms 84
1 How lovely are your tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngendlela yegithithi. Elabantwana bakaKhora. Ihubo. Yeka ubuhle bendlu yakho, Oh Thixo Somandla!
2 My soul longs, yea, even faints for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh cries out for the living God.
Umphefumulo wami uyalangazela, uze ungathi uyaphela, ngifuna amaguma kaThixo; inhliziyo yami lenyama yami kukhalela uNkulunkulu ophilayo.
3 Yea, the sparrow has found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
Intaka layo ilizuzile ikhaya, lenkonjane isidleke sayo, lapho ingazalela khona abantwana bayo indawo eduze kwe-alithari lakho, Oh Thixo Somandla, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in your house: they will be still praising you. (Selah)
Babusisiwe labo abahlala endlini yakho; bahlala bekudumisa kokuphela.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in you; in whose heart are the ways of them.
Babusisiwe labo abalamandla abo akuwe asebebeke inhliziyo zabo ekulagiseni kuwe.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also fills the pools.
Bathi nxa bedabula esiGodini seBhaka basenze sibe yindawo yemithombo; izulu lekwindla lalo ligcwalise iziziba.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears before God.
Ayakhula amandla abo ande, ngulowo lalowo aze aqhamuke kuNkulunkulu eZiyoni.
8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla; akungilalele, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of your anointed.
Khangela isihlangu sethu, Oh Nkulunkulu; khangela ngomusa kogcotshiweyo wakho.
10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Lungcono usuku olulodwa emagumeni akho kulensuku eziyinkulungwane kwenye indawo; kungabangcono ngibe ngumlindimasango endlini kaNkulunkulu kulokuhlala emathenteni ababi.
11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Ngoba uThixo ulilanga lesihlangu; uThixo uyapha umusa lodumo; kancitshani langaluphi ulutho oluhle kulabo ozinyathelo zabo zingelansolo.
12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you.
Oh Thixo Somandla, ubusisiwe umuntu owethemba kuwe.
