Psalms 132
1 A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:
Khumbula, Nkosi, uDavida, izinhlupheko zakhe zonke,
2 how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],
ukuthi wafunga eNkosini, wathembisa kuSomandla kaJakobe:
3 I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;
Qotho, kangiyikungena ethenteni lendlu yami, qotho, kangiyikwenyukela ecansini lombheda wami;
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids, nor rest to my temples,
qotho, kangiyikunika amehlo ami ubuthongo, ukuwozela ezinkopheni zami,
5 until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
ngize ngiyitholele iNkosi indawo, indawo zokuhlala uSomandla kaJakobe.
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.
Khangela, sakuzwa eEfratha, sakuthola emasimini egusu.
7 Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.
Sizangena ezindlini zayo zokuhlala, sikhonze esenabelweni senyawo zayo.
8 Arise, O Lord, into your rest; you, and the ark of your holiness.
Sukuma, Nkosi, uye ekuphumuleni kwakho, wena lomtshokotsho wamandla akho!
9 Your priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and your saints shall exult.
Abapristi bakho kabembeswe ukulunga, labangcwele bakho bathabe kakhulu.
10 For the sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed.
Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida ungafulathelisi ubuso bogcotshiweyo wakho.
11 The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of your body will I set [a king] upon your throne.
INkosi yafunga ngeqiniso kuDavida, kayiyikubuyela emuva kilo: Owesithelo sesizalo sakho ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi.
12 If your children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne for ever.
Uba abantwana bakho begcina isivumelwano sami lezifakazelo zami engizabafundisa zona, labantwana babo bazahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.
13 For the Lord has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],
Ngoba iNkosi iyikhethile iZiyoni, iyifisile ibe yindawo yayo yokuhlala.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.
Le yindawo yami yokuphumula kuze kube nini lanini; lapha ngizahlala, ngoba ngiyifisile.
15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Ngizabusisa kakhulu ukudla kwayo, ngisuthise abayanga bayo ngesinkwa.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.
Labapristi bayo ngizabembathisa usindiso, labangcwele bayo bazahlabelela kakhulu ngenjabulo.
17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared a lamp for mine anointed.
Lapho ngizahlumisa uphondo lukaDavida; ngimisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane.
18 His enemies will I clothe with a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
Izitha zakhe ngizazembathisa ihlazo, kodwa phezu kwakhe uzakhazimula umqhele wakhe wobukhosi.
