Psalms 77
1 TO THE OVERSEER. FOR JEDUTHUN. A PSALM OF ASAPH. My voice [is] to God, and I cry, My voice [is] to God, And He has given ear to me.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KuJeduthuni, Elika-Asafi. Ihubo. Ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ngicela uncedo; ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ukuthi angizwe.
2 I sought the Lord in a day of my distress, My hand has been spread out by night, And it does not cease, My soul has refused to be comforted.
Ngathi ngikhathazekile ngamdinga uThixo; ebusuku ngazelula izandla azazezadinwa lomphefumulo wami wala ukududuzeka.
3 I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and my spirit is feeble. (Selah)
Ngakukhumbula, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngabubula; ngacabanga, umoya wami wancipha.
4 You have taken hold of the watches of my eyes, I have been moved, and I do not speak.
Wala ukuthi amehlo ami avaleke; ngangikhathazekile ngisehluleka ukukhuluma.
5 I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages.
Ngakhumbula ngezinsuku ezedlulayo, insuku zakudala;
6 I remember my music in the night, I meditate with my heart, and my spirit searches diligently:
ngakhumbula izingoma zami ebusuku. Inhliziyo yami yacabanga lomoya wami wadinga:
7 Does the Lord cast off for all ages? Does He add to be pleased no longer?
“INkosi izakhalala kokuphela na? Ayisayikuphinde itshengise uthando lwayo njalo na?
8 Has His kindness ceased forever? The saying failed from generation to generation?
Kanti uthando lwayo olungapheliyo selunyamalele kokuphela na? Kanti isithembiso sayo sesiphelile kokuphela na?
9 Has God forgotten [His] favors? Has He shut up His mercies in anger? (Selah)
Kanti uNkulunkulu usekhohliwe ukuba lesihawu na? Usethe ngokuzonda wagodla uzwelo lwakhe na?”
10 And I say: “My weakness is, The changes of the right hand of the Most High.”
Ngasengikhumbula ngathi, “Yilokhu okunginqundayo, ukuthi isandla sokunene soPhezukonke kasisekho phezu kwami.
11 I mention the doings of YAH, For I remember Your wonders of old,
Ngizayikhumbula imisebenzi kaThixo; yebo, ngizayikhumbula imimangaliso yakho yekadeni.
12 And I have meditated on all Your working, And I talk concerning Your doings.
Ngizacabanga ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho nginakane ngazozonke izenzo zakho ezinkulu.”
13 O God, Your way [is] in holiness, Who [is] a great god like God?
Izindlela zakho, Oh Nkulunkulu, zingcwele; nguphi unkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu wethu na?
14 You [are] the God doing wonders. You have made Your strength known among the peoples,
Nguwe Nkulunkulu owenza izimanga; uyawatshengisa amandla akho ebantwini.
15 You have redeemed Your people with strength, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Ngengalo yakho elamandla wabakhulula abantu bakho, izizukulwane zikaJakhobe loJosefa.
16 The waters have seen You, O God, The waters have seen You, They are afraid—also depths are troubled.
Amanzi akubona wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, amanzi akubona atshotshobala; inziki zagonyuluka.
17 Thick clouds have poured out waters, The skies have given forth a noise, Also—Your arrows go up and down.
Amayezi awathulula amanzi, isibhakabhaka sandindiza ngokuduma; imitshoko yakho yaphazima yaya le lale.
18 The voice of Your thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has trembled, indeed, it shakes.
Umdumo wakho wezwakala uphakathi kwesivunguzane, umbane wakho wawukhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wavevezela wanyikinyeka.
19 Your way [is] in the sea, And Your paths in many waters, And Your tracks have not been known.
Indlela yakho yadabula olwandle, umkhondo wakho phakathi kwamanzi, kodwa izinyathelo zakho zazingabonakali.
20 You have led Your people as a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron!
Wabahola abantu bakho njengomhlambi wezimvu ngesandla sikaMosi lo-Aroni.
