Psalms 59
1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
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 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
Ngikhulula kubenzi bobubi ungisindise ebantwini abomele igazi.
3 For lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.
Ake ubone ukuthi bangicathamela njani! Amadoda esabekayo angakhela amacebo kungelacala loba isono engisenzileyo, Oh Thixo.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.
Angonanga lutho, kodwa balungele ukungihlasela. Phakama ungisize; ake ubone umumo engikuwo!
5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (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 make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa babe behwabha njengezinja, bahwede bebhoda ledolobho.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
Ake ubone ukuthi baphihlizani emilonyeni yabo: baphihliza izinkemba ezindebeni zabo, bese besithi, “Ngubani osizwayo?”
8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo, uyabahleka; uyazigqabhazela zonke lezozizwe.
9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defense.
Oh Mandla ami, ngiyakulindela; wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, uyinqaba yami,
10 The God of my mercy will succor me: God will let me see [my desire] upon my enemies.
Nkulunkulu wami olothando. UNkulunkulu uzahamba phambi kwami angenze ngiklolode phezu kwalabo abangingcolisayo.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O LORD our shield.
Kodwa ungababulali, Nkosi hawu lethu, funa abantu bakithi bakhohlwe. Ngamandla akho baphumputhekise njalo ubehlule wena Thixo, sihlangu sethu.
12 [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which] they speak.
Ngenxa yezono zemilomo yabo, ngenxa yamazwi ezindebe zabo, kababanjwe belokhu bezigqaja benjalo. Ngenxa yezethuko lamanga abawaqambayo,
13 Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may] not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
babhuqe ngolaka, babhuqe bangabi khona futhi. Lapho-ke kuzakwaziwa lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabusa phezu kukaJakhobe.
14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
Bathi bephenduka kusihlwa babe behwabha njengezinja, bahambahambe becathama edolobheni.
15 Let them wander up and down for food, and grudge if they are not satisfied.
Bayazula bedinga ukudla bahlabe umkhulungwane nxa bengasuthanga.
16 But I will sing of thy power; yes, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
Kodwa mina ngizahlabelela ngihaya amandla akho, ekuseni ngizahlabelela ngihaya uthando lwakho, ngoba wena uyinqaba yami, isiphephelo sami ezikhathini zokuhlupheka.
17 To thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defense, [and] the God of my mercy.
Oh wena Mandla ami, ngihlabelela indumiso kuwe; wena, Oh Nkulunkulu uyinqaba yami, Nkulunkulu wami olothando.
