Psalms 85
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Jehovah, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
3 You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
4 Restore us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
6 Won't you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
7 Show us your loving kindness, Jehovah. Grant us your salvation.
Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
8 I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, his faithful ones; but let them not turn again to folly.
Ngizalalela lokho uNkulunkulu uThixo azakutsho; uthembisa abantu bakhe ukuthula, abangcwele bakhe kodwa kabangabuyeli ebufebeni babo.
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
10 Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
11 Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
12 Yes, Jehovah will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
13 Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.
Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
