Psalms 22
1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
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 cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ngiyakhala emini, kodwa kawuphenduli; ebusuku, kangithulanga.
3 But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Kanti usesihlalweni sobukhosi uNguye oNgcwele uyindumiso ka-Israyeli.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
Obaba babeka ithemba labo Kuwe; bona bathemba wena wabakhulula.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
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, [saying],
Bonke abangibonayo bayangihleka; bayangithethisa baze banyikinye amakhanda:
8 He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
“Uthemba uThixo lowo Thixo kamkhulule. Kamsindise njengoba ethokoza ngaye.”
9 But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother’s breasts.
Kanti wena wangikhupha esiswini; wangenza ngakuthemba kusukela ebeleni likamama.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother’s belly.
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 compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round.
Inkunzi ezinengi zingihanqile; inkunzi ezilamandla zaseBhashani zingihonqolozele.
13 They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [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 like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
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 jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
Amandla ami asetshile qhu ingathi ludengezi, lolimi lwami luyanamathela elwangeni lwami; uyangilalisa othulini lokufa.
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Izinja sezingihanqile; ixuku labantu ababi selingihonqolozele, sebengigwaze izandla lezinyawo.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
Ngingawabala wonke amathambo ami; abantu bayanginyonkoloza bangiklolodele.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Behlukaniselana izembatho zami njalo benze inkatho ngezigqoko zami.
19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
Kodwa wena, Thixo, ungabi kude lami. Ungamandla ami, woza masinyane uzongisiza.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
Phephisa impilo yami enkembeni, impilo yami eligugu emandleni azo izinja.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
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 fear 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 affliction of the afflicted; 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 My praise [shall be] of thee 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 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
Abayanga bazakudla basuthe labo abamdingayo uThixo bazamdumisa sengathi inhliziyo zenu zingaphila nini lanini!
27 All the ends of the world 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 governor among the nations.
ngoba umbuso ungokaThixo njalo uyabusa phezu kwezizwe.
29 All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
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 accounted to the Lord for a 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 [this].
Bazatshumayela ukulunga kwakhe, ebantwini abangakazalwa ngoba ukwenzile Yena.
