Psalms 18
1 To victorie, the word of the Lord to Dauid; which spak the wordis of this song, in the dai in which the Lord delyuerede hym fro the hond of alle hise enemyes, and fro the hond of Saul; and he seide: Lord, my strengthe, Y schal loue thee; the Lord is my stidfastnesse, and my refuyt, and mi deliuerere.
Ngizakuthanda, Nkosi, mandla ami.
2 Mi God is myn helpere; and Y schal hope in to hym. My defendere, and the horn of myn helthe; and myn vptakere.
INkosi ilidwala lami, lenqaba yami, lomkhululi wami; uNkulunkulu wami, idwala lami, engizaphephela kulo, isihlangu sami, lophondo losindiso lwami, inqaba yami ephakemeyo.
3 I schal preise, and ynwardli clepe the Lord; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes.
Ngizabiza iNkosi edumisekayo, ngakho ngizasindiswa ezitheni zami.
4 The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the strondis of wickidnesse disturbliden me.
Izibopho zokufa zangizingelezela, lezikhukhula zobubi zangethusa.
Izibopho zesihogo zangigombolozela, imijibila yokufa yayiphambi kwami. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my tribulacioun Y inwardli clepide the Lord; and Y criede to my God. And he herde my vois fro his hooli temple; and my cry in his siyt entride in to hise eeris.
Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngayibiza iNkosi, ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami; walizwa ilizwi lami esethempelini lakhe, lokukhala kwami kweza phambi kwakhe, endlebeni zakhe.
7 The erthe was mouede togidere, and tremblede togidere; the foundementis of hillis weren troblid togidere, and weren moued togidere; for he was wrooth to hem.
Khona umhlaba wazamazama, wanyikinyeka, lezisekelo zezintaba zaqhaqhazela, zazamazama, ngoba wayethukuthele.
8 Smoke stiede in the ire of hym, and fier brente out fro his face; coolis weren kyndlid of hym.
Kwenyuka intuthu emakhaleni akhe, lomlilo ophuma emlonyeni wakhe waqothula; amalahle avuthiswa yiwo.
9 He bowide doun heuenes, and cam doun; and derknesse was vndur hise feet.
Wasekhothamisa amazulu, wehlela phansi, lomnyama onzima wawungaphansi kwenyawo zakhe.
10 And he stiede on cherubym, and flei; he fley ouer the pennes of wyndis.
Wasegada ikherubhi, waphapha, wandiza phezu kwempiko zomoya.
11 And he settide derknesses his hidyng place, his tabernacle `in his cumpas; derk water was in the cloudes of the lowere eir.
Wamisa umnyama waba yindawo yakhe yensitha, idumba lakhe inhlangothi zonke zakhe, amanzi amnyama, amayezi amnyama omkhathi.
12 Ful cleer cloudis passiden in his siyt; hail and the coolis of fier.
Ekukhazimuleni okuphambi kwakhe amayezi akhe amnyama edlula, isiqhotho lamalahle omlilo.
13 And the Lord thundrid fro heuene; and the hiyeste yaf his vois, hail and the coolis of fier `camen doun.
INkosi yasiduma emazulwini, oPhezukonke wazwakalisa ilizwi lakhe, isiqhotho lamalahle omlilo.
14 And he sente hise arowis, and distriede tho men; he multipliede leytis, and disturblide tho men.
Yasithuma imitshoko yayo, yabachitha; lemibane eminengi, yabaphaphathekisa.
15 And the wellis of watris apperiden; and the foundementis of the erthe weren schewid. Lord, of thi blamyng; of the brething of the spirit of thin ire.
Khona kwabonakala imisele yamanzi, kwembulwa izisekelo zomhlaba ekusoleni kwakho, Nkosi, ekuvutheleni komoya wamakhala akho.
16 He sente fro the hiyeste place, and took me; and he took me fro many watris.
Yathuma iphezulu, yangibamba, yangenyula emanzini amanengi.
17 He delyuerede me fro my strongeste enemyes; and fro hem that hatiden me, fro thei weren coumfortid on me.
Yangophula esitheni sami esilamandla, lakibo abangizondayo, ngoba babelamandla kulami.
18 Thei camen bifor me in the dai of my turment; and the Lord was maad my defendere.
Babephambi kwami osukwini lwenhlupheko yami, kodwa iNkosi yaba yisisekelo sami.
19 And he ledde out me in to breede; he maad me saaf, for he wolde me.
Yangikhuphela endaweni ebanzi, yangikhulula ngoba yayithokoza ngami.
20 And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and he schal yelde to me bi the clennesse of myn hondis.
INkosi yangivuza njengokulunga kwami; yangibuyisela njengokuhlanzeka kwezandla zami.
21 For Y kepte the weies of the Lord; and Y dide not vnfeithfuli fro my God.
Ngoba ngizilondolozile indlela zeNkosi, kangisukanga kuNkulunkulu wami ngenkohlakalo.
22 For alle hise domes ben in my siyt; and Y puttide not awei fro me hise riytfulnessis.
Ngoba zonke izahlulelo zayo zaziphambi kwami, lezimiso zayo kangiziphambulanga kimi.
23 And Y schal be vnwemmed with hym; and Y schal kepe me fro my wickidnesse.
Njalo ngangiqondile kuyo, ngizinqandile ebubini bami.
24 And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi the clennesse of myn hondis in the siyt of hise iyen.
Ngakho iNkosi ingibuyisele njengokulunga kwami, njengokuhlanzeka kwezandla zami phambi kwamehlo ayo.
25 With the hooli, thou schalt be hooli; and with `a man innocent, thou schalt be innocent.
Kolesihawu uzaziveza ulesihawu; koqotho uzaziveza uqotho;
26 And with a chosun man, thou schalt be chosun; and with a weiward man, thou schalt be weiward.
kohlanzekileyo uzaziveza uhlanzekile; lakophambukileyo uzaziveza uphambukile.
27 For thou schalt make saaf a meke puple; and thou schalt make meke the iyen of proude men.
Ngoba wena uzabasindisa abantu abahlutshwayo; kodwa amehlo aphakemeyo uzawehlisela phansi.
28 For thou, Lord, liytnest my lanterne; my God, liytne thou my derknessis.
Ngoba wena uzalumathisa isibane sami; iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wami, izakhanyisa ubumnyama bami.
29 For bi thee Y schal be delyuered fro temptacioun; and in my God Y schal `go ouer the wal.
Ngoba ngawe ngigijimile ngadabula phakathi kwebutho, langoNkulunkulu wami ngeqe umthangala.
30 Mi God, his weie is vndefoulid, the speches of the Lord ben examyned bi fier; he is defendere of alle men hopynge in hym.
UNkulunkulu, indlela yakhe iphelele; ilizwi leNkosi lihloliwe; uyisihlangu kubo bonke abaphephela kuye.
31 For whi, who is God out takun the Lord? ethir who is God outakun oure God?
Ngoba ngubani onguNkulunkulu ngaphandle kweNkosi? Njalo ngubani olidwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu?
32 God that hath gird me with vertu; and hath set my weie vnwemmed.
NguNkulunkulu ongibhincisa amandla, owenza indlela yami iphelele.
33 Which made perfit my feet as of hertis; and ordeynynge me on hiye thingis.
Owenza inyawo zami zibe njengezezimpala, wangimisa ezingqongeni zami.
34 Which techith myn hondis to batel; and thou hast set myn armys as a brasun bouwe.
Ofundisela izandla zami impi, ukuze idandili lethusi ligotshiswe zingalo zami.
35 And thou hast youe to me the kyueryng of thin helthe; and thi riythond hath vptake me. And thi chastisyng amendide me in to the ende; and thilke chastisyng of thee schal teche me.
Unginikile lesihlangu sosindiso lwakho, lesandla sakho sokunene singisekele, lobumnene bakho bungikhulisile.
36 Thou alargidist my paaces vndur me; and my steppis ben not maad vnstidefast.
Wenze zaba banzi izinyathelo zami ngaphansi kwami, ukuze inyawo zami zingatsheleli.
37 Y schal pursue myn enemyes, and Y schal take hem; and Y schal not turne til thei failen.
Ngixotshene lezitha zami, ngazifica, kangibuyanga ngaze ngaziqeda.
38 I schal al to-breke hem, and thei schulen not mowe stonde; thei schulen falle vndur my feet.
Ngazigwaza, zaze zehluleka ukuvuka, zawa ngaphansi kwenyawo zami.
39 And thou hast gird me with vertu to batel; and thou hast `supplauntid, ether disseyued, vndur me men risynge ayens me.
Ngoba ungibhincise amandla kusenzelwa impi, wabakhothamisela phansi kwami abangivukelayo.
40 And thou hast youe myn enemyes abac to me; and thou hast distried `men hatynge me.
Unginike intamo yezitha zami, labo abangizondayo ngababhubhisa.
41 Thei crieden, and noon was that maad hem saaf; `thei crieden to the Lord, and he herde not hem.
Bakhala, kodwa engekho umsindisi; eNkosini, kodwa kayibaphendulanga.
42 And Y schal al to-breke hem, as dust bifor the face of wynd; Y schal do hem awei, as the cley of stretis.
Ngasengibacholisisa njengothuli phambi komoya, ngabachitha njengodaka lwezitalada.
43 Thou schalt delyuere me fro ayenseiyngis of the puple; thou schalt sette me in to the heed of folkis.
Wangikhulula ekuphikiseni kwabantu, wangimisa ngaba yinhloko yezizwe; abantu engangingabazi bangisebenzela.
44 The puple, which Y knewe not, seruede me; in the herynge of eere it obeiede to me.
Bangenela ukuzwa ngendlebe bazangilalela, abezizweni bazazithoba kimi ngokuzenzisa.
45 Alien sones lieden to me, alien sones wexiden elde; and crokiden fro thi pathis.
Abezizweni bazabuna, baphume ezinqabeni zabo bethuthumela.
46 The Lord lyueth, and my God be blessid; and the God of myn helthe be enhaunsid.
INkosi iyaphila; njalo kalidunyiswe idwala lami, kaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu wosindiso lwami.
47 God, that yauest veniaunces to me, and makist suget puplis vndur me; my delyuerere fro my wrathful enemyes.
UNkulunkulu onginika impindiselo, lowehlisela izizwe ngaphansi kwami;
48 And thou schalt enhaunse me fro hem, that risen ayens me; thou schalt delyuere me fro a wickid man.
ongikhulula ezitheni zami; yebo, phezu kwabangivukelayo wangiphakamisa, emuntwini wodlakela wangikhulula.
49 Therfor, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among naciouns; and Y schal seie salm to thi name.
Ngenxa yalokhu ngizakudumisa, Nkosi, phakathi kwezizwe, ngihlabelele ibizo lakho indumiso.
50 Magnyfiynge the helthis of his kyng; and doynge merci to his crist Dauid, and to his seed til in to the world.
Iyanika inkosi yayo usindiso olukhulu, isenzela ogcotshiweyo wayo umusa, kuDavida, lenzalweni yakhe kuze kube nininini.
