Psalms 22
1 For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. O God, my God, attend to me: why have you forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
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 will cry to you by day, but you will not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me.
Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ngiyakhala emini, kodwa kawuphenduli; ebusuku, kangithulanga.
3 But you, the praise of Israel, dwell in a sanctuary.
Kanti usesihlalweni sobukhosi uNguye oNgcwele uyindumiso ka-Israyeli.
4 Our fathers hoped in you; they hoped, and you did deliver them.
Obaba babeka ithemba labo Kuwe; bona bathemba wena wabakhulula.
5 They cried to you, and were saved: they hoped in you, and were not ashamed.
Bakhala kuwe bakhululwa; bathemba kuwe kabaze badaniswa.
6 But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
Kodwa ngiyimpethu nje kangisumuntu, ngihozwa ngabantu njalo abanengi bangeyise.
7 All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],
Bonke abangibonayo bayangihleka; bayangithethisa baze banyikinye amakhanda:
8 He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.
“Uthemba uThixo lowo Thixo kamkhulule. Kamsindise njengoba ethokoza ngaye.”
9 For you are he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts.
Kanti wena wangikhupha esiswini; wangenza ngakuthemba kusukela ebeleni likamama.
10 I was cast on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother's belly.
Kusukela ekuzalweni kwami ngabekwa ezandleni Zakho; kusukela esiswini sikamama ulokhu unguNkulunkulu wami.
11 Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.
Ungabi khatshana kwami, ngoba uhlupho luseduze njalo kakho ongangisiza.
12 Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round.
Inkunzi ezinengi zingihanqile; inkunzi ezilamandla zaseBhashani zingihonqolozele.
13 They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and roaring lion.
Izilwane ezibhongayo ezibamba zidabudabule zingikhamisela imilomo yazo.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.
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 is glued to my throat; and you have brought me down to the dust of death.
Amandla ami asetshile qhu ingathi ludengezi, lolimi lwami luyanamathela elwangeni lwami; uyangilalisa othulini lokufa.
16 For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Izinja sezingihanqile; ixuku labantu ababi selingihonqolozele, sebengigwaze izandla lezinyawo.
17 They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.
Ngingawabala wonke amathambo ami; abantu bayanginyonkoloza bangiklolodele.
18 They parted my garments [among] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.
Behlukaniselana izembatho zami njalo benze inkatho ngezigqoko zami.
19 But you, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid.
Kodwa wena, Thixo, ungabi kude lami. Ungamandla ami, woza masinyane uzongisiza.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one from the power of the dog.
Phephisa impilo yami enkembeni, impilo yami eligugu emandleni azo izinja.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth; and [regard] my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.
Ngilamulela emlonyeni wezilwane; ngisindisa empondweni zezinyathi.
22 I will declare your name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I sing praise to you.
Ngizamemezela ibizo Lakho kubafowethu; emphakathini ngizakudumisa.
23 You that fear the Lord, praise him; all you seed of Jacob, glorify him: let all the seed of Israel fear him.
Lina elimesabayo uThixo, mdumiseni! Lani lina zizukulwane zikaJakhobe, mbabazeni! Mhlonipheni, lina lonke zizukulwane zika-Israyeli!
24 For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me.
Ngoba keyisanga loba adelele ukuhlupheka kwalowo ohlukuluzwayo; kamfihlelanga ubuso bakhe kodwa walalela ukukhala kwakhe ecela ukusizwa.
25 My praise is of you 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 poor shall eat and be satisfied; and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their heart shall live for ever.
Abayanga bazakudla basuthe labo abamdingayo uThixo bazamdumisa sengathi inhliziyo zenu zingaphila nini lanini!
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord: and all the kindred of the nations shall worship before him.
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 of the nations.
ngoba umbuso ungokaThixo njalo uyabusa phezu kwezizwe.
29 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped: all that go down to the earth shall fall down before him: my soul also lives to him.
Zonke izinothi zomhlaba zizazitika ngokudla njalo zikhonze; bonke abangena othulini bazaguqa phambi Kwakhe labo abangeke baziphilise.
30 And my seed shall serve him: the generation that is coming shall be reported to the Lord.
Abesikhathi esizayo bazamkhonza; izizukulwane zizakwaziswa ngoThixo.
31 And they shall report his righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
Bazatshumayela ukulunga kwakhe, ebantwini abangakazalwa ngoba ukwenzile Yena.
