Psalms 25
1 Yahweh, my God, I give myself to you.
ElikaDavida. Kuwe, Thixo, ngiphakamisela umphefumulo wami.
2 I trust in you. Do not allow my enemies [to defeat me], with the result that I would be ashamed/disgraced. Do not allow my enemies to defeat/conquer me, with the result that they would rejoice.
Ngethemba kuwe, ungangiyekeli ngiyangeka, futhi ungayekeli izitha zami zinginqobe.
3 Do not allow any of those who trust in you to be disappointed/disgraced. Cause those who (act treacherously toward/try to deceive) others to be disappointed/disgraced.
Kakukho bani othemba lakhe likuwe ozayangiswa lanini, kodwa bazayangiswa abadinga ukulimaza kungelasizatho.
4 Yahweh, show me the way that I should (conduct my life/live as you want me to), teach me how to act in the manner that you want me to act/behave.
Ngibonisa izindlela Zakho, Oh Thixo, ngifundisa izindlela Zakho;
5 Teach me to conduct my life [by obeying] your truth because you are my God, the one who saves me. All the time I trust in you.
ngikhokhela eqinisweni Lakho ungifundise ngoba unguNkulunkulu, uMsindisi wami, lethemba lami likuwe insuku zonke.
6 Yahweh, do not forget how you have acted mercifully to me and have faithfully loved me; that is the way that you have acted toward me from long ago.
Khumbula, Oh Thixo, isihawu Sakho esikhulu kanye lothando, ngoba konke kuvela ekadeni.
7 Forgive me for all the sinful things I did and the ways that I rebelled against you when I was young; I ask this because you faithfully love your people and do good things for them, Yahweh, do not forget me!
Ungakhumbuli izono zobutsha bami lezindlela zokuhlamuka kwami; ngikhumbula ngokufanele uthando Lwakho, ngoba ulungile, Oh Thixo.
8 Yahweh is good and fair/just; therefore he shows sinners (how they should conduct their lives/how to live as you want them to).
UThixo ulungile, uqotho; ngakho weluleka izoni ngezindlela zakhe.
9 He shows humble people what is right for them to do and teaches them what he wants [them to do].
Uhola abathobekileyo kulokho okuqondileyo abafundise indlela yakhe.
10 He always faithfully loves and does what he has promised to those who keep his agreement with them and who do what he requires.
Zonke izindlela zikaThixo zilothando, ziyathembeka kulabo abagcina izimiso zesivumelwano Sakhe.
11 Yahweh, forgive me for all my sins, which are many, in order that I may honor you [MTY].
Ngenxa yegama Lakho, Oh Thixo, thethelela ububi bami, loba bubukhulu.
12 To all those who revere you [RHQ], you show them the (right way to conduct their lives/things that they should do).
Ngubani-ke umuntu omesabayo uThixo? Uzameluleka ngaleyondlela ayimiselweyo.
13 They will always be prosperous, and their descendants will continue to live in [this] land.
Uzaphila insuku zakhe ekhomba ngophakathi, lezizukulwane zakhe zizakudla ilifa lelizwe.
14 Yahweh is a friend of those who have an awesome respect for him, and he teaches them the agreement that he [made with them].
Bayathenjwa nguThixo labo abamesabayo; ubenza basazi isivumelwano Sakhe.
15 I always ask [MTY] Yahweh to help me, and he rescues me from danger [MET].
Amehlo ami ahlezi ekuThixo lanini, ngoba nguye kuphela ozakhumula inyawo zami esithiyweni.
16 Yahweh, pay attention to me and be merciful to me, because I am alone, and I am very distressed because I am suffering/oppressed.
Phendukela kimi ube lobubele lami, ngoba ngilesizungu, ngikhathazekile.
17 Help me to not worry, and rescue me from my troubles.
Inhlupheko zenhliziyo yami sezandile; ngikhulula ekudabukeni kwami.
18 Note that I am distressed and troubled [DOU], and forgive [me for] all my sins.
Khangela ukukhathazeka kwami lokuhawula kwami, ususe zonke izono zami.
19 Also note that I have many enemies, see that they hate me very much.
Ake ubone ukuthi izitha zami sezande kangakanani, lokuthi zingizonda kubi kanjani!
20 Protect me, and rescue me from them; do not allow [them to defeat me], [with the result that] I would be ashamed/disgraced; I have come to you to (get refuge/be safe).
Linda impilo yami ungihlenge; ungangiyekeli ngiyangeke, ngoba ngizuza isiphephelo Kuwe.
21 Protect me because I do what is good and honest/just [PRS], and because I trust in you.
Sengathi ubuqotho lokuqonda kungangivikela, ngoba ngizuza isiphephelo Kuwe.
22 God, rescue [us] Israeli people from all of our troubles!
Hlenga u-Israyeli, Oh Nkulunkulu, kuzozonke inhlupheko zakhe.
