Psalms 52
1 [For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho uDoyegi umʼEdomi wayeye kuSawuli wamtshela wathi, “UDavida uye wayangena endlini ka-Ahimeleki.” Kungani uncoma ngobubi, wena somandlase? Kungani utshona untela ilanga lonke, wena olihlazo emehlweni kaNkulunkulu?
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Ulimi lwakho luceba incithakalo; lunjengensingo eloliweyo, wena owenza inkohliso.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Uthanda ububi kulobuhle, amanga kulokukhuluma iqiniso.
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
Uyawathanda wonke amanga alimazayo, wena limi olukhohlisayo!
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu uzakwehlisela ukubhubha okungapheliyo: Uzakuhlwitha akukhuphe ethenteni lakho; uzakuquphula akususe elizweni labaphilayo.
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
Abalungileyo bazabona besabe; bazamhleka bathi,
7 "Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."
“Nangu-ke manje umuntu lo ongenzanga uNkulunkulu inqaba yakhe kodwa wathemba inotho yakhe enkulu wakhula waba lamandla ngokuwisa abanye!”
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.
Kodwa mina nginjengesihlahla se-oliva esikhula endlini kaNkulunkulu; ngithembe uthando lukaNkulunkulu olungaphuthiyo nini lanini.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
Ngizakudumisa lanini ngalokho okwenzileyo; ngizathemba ebizweni lakho, ngoba lihle ibizo lakho. Ngizakudumisa phambi kwabangcwele bakho.
