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.
Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, Nkulunkulu wami, ungimise ngaphezu kwabangivukelayo.
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.
Ngoba, khangela, bacathamela umphefumulo wami; abalamandla bayangihlanganyela, kungekho siphambeko sami njalo kungekho sono sami, Nkosi.
4 They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to help me, and behold.
Ngaphandle kwecala bayagijima bezilungisa. Vuka, ungisize, ubone.
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)
Wena-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wamabandla, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli; vuka ukuze uhambele zonke izizwe, ungahawukeli lamunye wabakhohlisayo ebubini. (Sela)
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
Bayabuyela kusihlwa, behlaba umkhulungwane njengenja, bezingelezela umuzi.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
Khangela, bempompoloza ngomlomo wabo, inkemba zisendebeni zabo, ngoba bathi: Ngubani ozwayo?
8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uzabahleka, uzaziklolodela zonke izizwe.
9 [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God [is] my defense.
Ngenxa yamandla akhe ngizalindela kuwe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami.
10 The God of my mercy will succor me: God will let me see [my desire] upon my enemies.
UNkulunkulu womusa wami uzangandulela; uNkulunkulu uzangenza ngibone isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O LORD our shield.
Ungazibulali, hlezi abantu bakithi bakhohlwe; uzizulazulise ngamandla akho, uzehlisele phansi, wena sihlangu sethu, Nkosi.
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.
Ngesono somlomo wazo, ngelizwi lendebe zazo, kazibanjwe ekuzigqajeni kwazo, langenxa yokuhlambaza lokuqamba amanga ezikukhulumayo.
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)
Uziqede ngokuthukuthela, uziqede zingabi khona, ukuze bazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyabusa koJakobe, kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba. (Sela)
14 And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise like a dog, and go about the city.
Kababuyele-ke kusihlwa behlaba umkhulungwane njengenja, bezingelezela umuzi.
15 Let them wander up and down for food, and grudge if they are not satisfied.
Bona kabazulazulele ukudla, nxa bengasuthanga kabalale.
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 ngamandla akho; yebo, ngizahlabelela kakhulu ekuseni ngomusa wakho; ngoba ube yinqaba yami lesiphephelo sami ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwami.
17 To thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my defense, [and] the God of my mercy.
Mandla ami, ngizahlabelela kuwe, ngoba uNkulunkulu uyinqaba yami, uNkulunkulu womusa wami.
