< Psalms 30 >
1 A Psalm. — A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.
Ngizakuphakamisa, Nkosi, ngoba ungenyusile, njalo kawuthokozisanga izitha zami ngami.
2 Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.
Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngakhalela kuwe, wangisilisa.
3 Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. (Sheol )
Nkosi, uwukhuphulile umphefumulo wami engcwabeni, ungigcinile ngiphila, ukuze ngingehleli emgodini. (Sheol )
4 Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,
Hlabelelani eNkosini, lina bangcwele bayo, libonge ekukhunjulweni kobungcwele bayo.
5 For — a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.
Ngoba ukuthukuthela kwayo kungokwesikhatshana, impilo isemuseni wayo. Ukulila kungahlala kusihlwa, kanti ekuseni kulentokozo.
6 And I — I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved — to the age.
Mina-ke ngathi ekuphumeleleni kwami: Kangiyikunyikinywa laphakade.
7 O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face — I have been troubled.
Nkosi, ngomusa wakho wenzile intaba yami iqine; wabufihla ubuso bakho, ngahlupheka.
8 Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.
Ngakhala kuwe, Nkosi; ngancenga eNkosini.
9 'What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?
Kulenzuzo bani egazini lami ekutshoneni kwami emgodini? Uthuli luzakudumisa na? Luzatshumayela iqiniso lakho yini?
10 Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'
Zwana, Nkosi, ube lomusa kimi; Nkosi, woba ngumsizi wami.
11 Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy.
Uphendule ukukhala kwami kwaba yikusina; ukhuphile isaka lami, wangibhincisa intokozo,
12 So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!
ukuze udumo lwami luhlabele indumiso kuwe, lungathuli; Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga kuze kube nininini.
