Psalms 19
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. The heavens [are] recounting the glory of God, And the expanse [is] declaring the work of His hands.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Amazulu afakaza inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; lomkhathi utshumayela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe.
2 Day to day utters speech, And night to night shows knowledge.
Usuku ngosuku lezizinto ziyakhuluma; ubusuku lobusuku zibonisa ulwazi.
3 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice has not been heard.
Akula nkulumo, akula mazwi ilizwi lazo alizwakali.
4 Their line has gone forth into all the earth, And their sayings to the end of the world, In them He placed a tent for the sun,
Kodwa Ilizwi lazo lizwakala emhlabeni wonke, amazwi azo afika emikhawulweni yomhlaba. Emazulwini uNkulunkulu uselakhele ithente ilanga.
5 And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, He rejoices as a mighty one To run the path.
Lona linjengomyeni ephuma exhibeni lakhe, njengentshantshu ethakazelela ukugijima ibanga layo.
6 From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] to their ends, And nothing is hid from his heat.
Liphuma emkhawulweni wamazulu lihambe indlela yalo liyotshona ngakuloyana; kakukho okusithekileyo ekutshiseni kwalo.
7 The law of YHWH [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of YHWH [are] steadfast, Making the simple wise,
Umthetho kaThixo uphelele uvuselela umphefumulo. Izimiso zikaThixo zithembekile, zihlakaniphisa izithutha.
8 The precepts of YHWH [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command 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, standing for all time, The judgments of YHWH [are] true, They have been righteous—together.
Ukumesaba uThixo kuhlanzekile, kumi kuze kube phakade. Izahlulelo zikaThixo ziqinisekile njalo zilungile ngokupheleleyo.
10 They are more desirable than gold, Indeed, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
Ziligugu okudlula igolide, okudlula igolide elinengi elicengekileyo; zimnandi kuloluju, uluju olujuluka ohlangeni.
11 Also—Your servant is warned by them, “In keeping them [is] a great reward.”
Ngazo inceku yakho iyacetshiswa; ukuzilandela kulomvuzo omkhulu.
12 [His] errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones,
Ngubani ongazizwisisa iziphambeko zakhe? Thethelela iziphambeko zami ezisithekileyo.
13 Also—keep back Your servant from presumptuous ones, Do not let them rule over me, Then I am perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression.
Phephisa inceku yakho ezonweni zamabomo; sengathi zingeze zabusa phezu kwami. Lapho ngizakuba msulwa ngingabi lacala lokona okukhulu.
14 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before You, O YHWH, my rock, and my redeemer!
Sengathi amazwi omlomo wami leminakano yenhliziyo yami kungathokozisa emehlweni akho, Oh Thixo, Dwala lami loMhlengi wami.
