Psalms 132
1 A song of ascents. Yahweh, for David's sake call to mind all his afflictions.
Khumbula, Nkosi, uDavida, izinhlupheko zakhe zonke,
2 Call to mind how he swore to Yahweh, how he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.
ukuthi wafunga eNkosini, wathembisa kuSomandla kaJakobe:
3 He said, “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
Qotho, kangiyikungena ethenteni lendlu yami, qotho, kangiyikwenyukela ecansini lombheda wami;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or rest to my eyelids
qotho, kangiyikunika amehlo ami ubuthongo, ukuwozela ezinkopheni zami,
5 until I find a place for Yahweh, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
ngize ngiyitholele iNkosi indawo, indawo zokuhlala uSomandla kaJakobe.
6 See, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
Khangela, sakuzwa eEfratha, sakuthola emasimini egusu.
7 We will go into God's tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool.
Sizangena ezindlini zayo zokuhlala, sikhonze esenabelweni senyawo zayo.
8 Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!
Sukuma, Nkosi, uye ekuphumuleni kwakho, wena lomtshokotsho wamandla akho!
9 May your priests be clothed with integrity; may your faithful ones shout for joy.
Abapristi bakho kabembeswe ukulunga, labangcwele bakho bathabe kakhulu.
10 For your servant David's sake, do not turn away from your anointed king.
Ngenxa yenceku yakho uDavida ungafulathelisi ubuso bogcotshiweyo wakho.
11 Yahweh swore a sure oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
INkosi yafunga ngeqiniso kuDavida, kayiyikubuyela emuva kilo: Owesithelo sesizalo sakho ngizambeka esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi.
12 If your sons keep my covenant and the laws that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”
Uba abantwana bakho begcina isivumelwano sami lezifakazelo zami engizabafundisa zona, labantwana babo bazahlala esihlalweni sakho sobukhosi kuze kube nini lanini.
13 Certainly Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired her for his seat.
Ngoba iNkosi iyikhethile iZiyoni, iyifisile ibe yindawo yayo yokuhlala.
14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I desire her.
Le yindawo yami yokuphumula kuze kube nini lanini; lapha ngizahlala, ngoba ngiyifisile.
15 I will abundantly bless her with provisions. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Ngizabusisa kakhulu ukudla kwayo, ngisuthise abayanga bayo ngesinkwa.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.
Labapristi bayo ngizabembathisa usindiso, labangcwele bayo bazahlabelela kakhulu ngenjabulo.
17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
Lapho ngizahlumisa uphondo lukaDavida; ngimisele ogcotshiweyo wami isibane.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
Izitha zakhe ngizazembathisa ihlazo, kodwa phezu kwakhe uzakhazimula umqhele wakhe wobukhosi.
