Psalms 77
1 For the Chief Musician; after the manner of Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will cry unto God with my voice; even unto God with my voice, and he wilt give ear unto me.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KuJeduthuni, Elika-Asafi. Ihubo. Ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ngicela uncedo; ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ukuthi angizwe.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; my soul refused to be comforted.
Ngathi ngikhathazekile ngamdinga uThixo; ebusuku ngazelula izandla azazezadinwa lomphefumulo wami wala ukududuzeka.
3 I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)
Ngakukhumbula, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngabubula; ngacabanga, umoya wami wancipha.
4 Thou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Wala ukuthi amehlo ami avaleke; ngangikhathazekile ngisehluleka ukukhuluma.
5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Ngakhumbula ngezinsuku ezedlulayo, insuku zakudala;
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; and my spirit made diligent search.
ngakhumbula izingoma zami ebusuku. Inhliziyo yami yacabanga lomoya wami wadinga:
7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
“INkosi izakhalala kokuphela na? Ayisayikuphinde itshengise uthando lwayo njalo na?
8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
Kanti uthando lwayo olungapheliyo selunyamalele kokuphela na? Kanti isithembiso sayo sesiphelile kokuphela na?
9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
Kanti uNkulunkulu usekhohliwe ukuba lesihawu na? Usethe ngokuzonda wagodla uzwelo lwakhe na?”
10 And I said, This is my infirmity; [but I will remember] the years of the right hand of the Most High.
Ngasengikhumbula ngathi, “Yilokhu okunginqundayo, ukuthi isandla sokunene soPhezukonke kasisekho phezu kwami.
11 I will make mention of the deeds of the LORD; for I will remember thy wonders of old.
Ngizayikhumbula imisebenzi kaThixo; yebo, ngizayikhumbula imimangaliso yakho yekadeni.
12 I will meditate also upon all thy work, and muse on thy doings.
Ngizacabanga ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho nginakane ngazozonke izenzo zakho ezinkulu.”
13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is a great god like unto God?
Izindlela zakho, Oh Nkulunkulu, zingcwele; nguphi unkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu wethu na?
14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast made known thy strength among the peoples.
Nguwe Nkulunkulu owenza izimanga; uyawatshengisa amandla akho ebantwini.
15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Ngengalo yakho elamandla wabakhulula abantu bakho, izizukulwane zikaJakhobe loJosefa.
16 The waters saw thee, O God; the waters saw thee, they were afraid: the depths also trembled.
Amanzi akubona wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, amanzi akubona atshotshobala; inziki zagonyuluka.
17 The clouds poured out water; the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
Amayezi awathulula amanzi, isibhakabhaka sandindiza ngokuduma; imitshoko yakho yaphazima yaya le lale.
18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
Umdumo wakho wezwakala uphakathi kwesivunguzane, umbane wakho wawukhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wavevezela wanyikinyeka.
19 Thy way was in the sea, and thy paths in the great waters, and thy footsteps were not known.
Indlela yakho yadabula olwandle, umkhondo wakho phakathi kwamanzi, kodwa izinyathelo zakho zazingabonakali.
20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Wabahola abantu bakho njengomhlambi wezimvu ngesandla sikaMosi lo-Aroni.
