Psalms 59
1 To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm of David. When Saul sent, and they watched the house, to kill him. Rescue me from my foes, O my God, From them who lift themselves up against me, wilt thou set me on high:
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Itshuni ethi, “Ungabhidlizi.” ElikaDavida. Imikithamu. Ngesikhathi uSawuli ethume amadoda ukuqaphela indlu kaDavida ukuze bambulale. Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, awu Nkulunkulu; ngivikela kulabo abangivukelayo.
2 Rescue me, from the workers of iniquity, And, from the men of bloodshed, save me.
Ngikhulula kubenzi bobubi ungisindise ebantwini abomele igazi.
3 For lo! they have lain in wait for my life, Mighty ones stir up strife against me, Without transgression of mine, and without sin of mine, O Yahweh;
Ake ubone ukuthi bangicathamela njani! Amadoda esabekayo angakhela amacebo kungelacala loba isono engisenzileyo, Oh Thixo.
4 For no iniquity, do they run that they may take their stand, Rouse thyself to meet me, and see.
Angonanga lutho, kodwa balungele ukungihlasela. Phakama ungisize; ake ubone umumo engikuwo!
5 Thou, therefore, O Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, Awake, to visit all the nations, Do not show favour to any iniquitous traitors. (Selah)
Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu Somandla, Nkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ake uzivuse wena ukuze uzijezise zonke izizwe; ungabazweli isihawu bonke abahlamuki ababi.
6 They return at evening, They grow like a dog, And go round the city.
Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa babe behwabha njengezinja, bahwede bebhoda ledolobho.
7 Lo! they belch forth with their mouth, Swords, are in their lips, For [say they], Who doth hear?
Ake ubone ukuthi baphihlizani emilonyeni yabo: baphihliza izinkemba ezindebeni zabo, bese besithi, “Ngubani osizwayo?”
8 Thou, therefore, O Yahweh, wilt laugh at them, Thou wilt mock at all nations.
Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo, uyabahleka; uyazigqabhazela zonke lezozizwe.
9 O my Strength, unto thee, will I make melody, For, God, is my high tower.
Oh Mandla ami, ngiyakulindela; wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, uyinqaba yami,
10 My God of lovingkindness, will come to meet me, God, will let me look on mine adversaries.
Nkulunkulu wami olothando. UNkulunkulu uzahamba phambi kwami angenze ngiklolode phezu kwalabo abangingcolisayo.
11 Do not slay them, lest my people forget, Cause them to wander by thy strength, and prostrate them, [Thou] our shield, O Lord!
Kodwa ungababulali, Nkosi hawu lethu, funa abantu bakithi bakhohlwe. Ngamandla akho baphumputhekise njalo ubehlule wena Thixo, sihlangu sethu.
12 The sin of their mouth, The word of their lips, Let them then be captured in their pride, Both for the oath and for the deception they record.
Ngenxa yezono zemilomo yabo, ngenxa yamazwi ezindebe zabo, kababanjwe belokhu bezigqaja benjalo. Ngenxa yezethuko lamanga abawaqambayo,
13 Bring to a full end in wrath, Bring to a full end, that they be no more, —That men may know that, God, is ruling in Jacob, Unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
babhuqe ngolaka, babhuqe bangabi khona futhi. Lapho-ke kuzakwaziwa lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabusa phezu kukaJakhobe.
14 Let them return, then, at evening, Let them growl like a dog, And go round the city.
Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa babe behwabha njengezinja, bahambahambe becathama edolobheni.
15 They, may prowl about for food, —And, if they are not satisfied, then let them whine!
Bayazula bedinga ukudla bahlabe umkhulungwane nxa bengasuthanga.
16 But, I, will sing thy power, And will shout aloud, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, —For thou has become a refuge for me, And a place to flee to in the day of my distress.
Kodwa mina ngizahlabelela ngihaya amandla akho, ekuseni ngizahlabelela ngihaya uthando lwakho, ngoba wena uyinqaba yami, isiphephelo sami ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
17 O my Strength, unto thee, will I make melody, For, God, is my high tower, my God of lovingkindness.
Oh wena Mandla ami, ngihlabelela indumiso kuwe; wena, Oh Nkulunkulu uyinqaba yami, Nkulunkulu wami olothando.
