2 USamuyeli 22
1 UDavida wahlabelela uThixo amazwi alelihubo lapho uThixo wamsindisa esandleni sezitha zakhe zonke lasesandleni sikaSawuli.
Ɛberɛ a Awurade gyee Dawid firii nʼatamfoɔ nyinaa ne Saulo nsam akyi no, ɔtoo saa dwom yi de yii Awurade ayɛ.
2 Wathi: “UThixo ulidwala lami, inqaba yami lomsindisi wami;
Nsɛm a ɛwɔ dwom no mu nie: “Awurade yɛ me botan, mʼaban ne mʼagyenkwa;
3 uNkulunkulu wami ulidwala lami, lapho engiphephela khona, isihlangu sami lophondo lokusindiswa kwami. Uyinqaba yami, isiphephelo sami lomsindisi wami uyangisindisa ebantwini abalodlakela.
me Onyankopɔn yɛ me botan; ne mu na menya banbɔ. Ɔyɛ me kyɛm, me nkwagyeɛ mu ahoɔden ne me banbɔeɛ, mʼabantenten, mʼagyenkwa, deɛ ɔgye me firi basabasayɛ mu.
4 Ngakhuleka kuThixo ofanele ukudunyiswa, njalo ngikhululwe ezitheni zami.
“Mesu frɛ Awurade; ɔno na ayɛyie sɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔgye me firi mʼatamfoɔ nsam.
5 Amagagasi okufa angikhulela; lezikhukhula zokubhubhisa zangikhulela.
Owuo asorɔkye twaa me ho hyiaeɛ; ɔsɛeɛ yiri faa me so.
Damena nhoma kyekyeree me; owuo ankasa too me anihaa. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ekukhathazekeni kwami ngakhuleka kuThixo; ngakhala kuNkulunkulu wami. Esethempelini lakhe walizwa ilizwi lami; ukukhala kwami kwafika ezindlebeni zakhe.
“Na mʼamanehunu mu no, mesu mefrɛɛ Awurade. Aane, mefrɛɛ me Onyankopɔn pɛɛ mmoa. Ɔtee me nne firii ne kronkronbea. Me sufrɛ duruu nʼasom.
8 Umhlaba wagedezela wazamazama, izisekelo zamazulu zanyikinyeka; zagedezela ngoba wayethukuthele.
Na asase wosoeɛ na ɛhinhimeɛ; ɔsoro fapem wosoeɛ; wɔwosoeɛ, nʼabufuo enti.
9 Intuthu yalanquka emakhaleni akhe; umlilo ohangulayo waphuma emlonyeni wakhe, amalahle avuthayo alavuka ephuma kuwo.
Wisie firii ne hwene mu; ogyaframa firii nʼanom; na egyasramma dɛre firii mu.
10 Waqhekeza amazulu wehlela phansi; amayezi amnyama ayengaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
Ɔfirii ɔsoro baa fam; na omununkum kabii duruu ne nan ase.
11 Wagada amakherubhi waphapha; wantweza phezu kwamaphiko omoya.
Ɔte Kerubim so tuiɛ; gyaagyaa ne ho wɔ mframa ntaban so.
12 Wenza umnyama isigubuzelo esimhanqileyo, amayezi ezulu amnyama asemkhathini.
Ɔde sum kataa ne ho hyiaeɛ, ɔde osuo omununkum dii nʼanim ɛkan.
13 Phakathi kokukhazimula kobukhona bakhe, izikhatha zombane zalavuza khona.
Hann kɛseɛ hyerɛn wɔ nʼanim, na anyinam pa firi mu.
14 UThixo wakhwaza esezulwini; ilizwi loPhezukonke lanqenqetha.
Awurade bobɔɔ mu firi soro; Ɔsorosoroni no teaam denden.
15 Waciba imitshoko wazihlakaza izitha, ngezikhatha zombane waziqothula.
Ɔtoo nʼagyan maa nʼatamfoɔ hweteeɛ; anyinam dwaeɛ ma wɔyɛɛ basaa.
16 Izigodi zolwandle zambulwa lezisekelo zomhlaba zavezwa obala ekukhuzeni kukaThixo, ngomfutho wokuphefumula kwamakhala akhe.
Awurade kasaeɛ, na ewiase nnyinasoɔ no nyinaa daa hɔ. Wɔtumi hunuu ɛpo ase, na asase fapem ho daa hɔ.
17 Welula isandla sakho usezulwini wangibamba wangihlenga enzikini yamanzi.
“Ɔfiri ɔsoro baa ɛfam bɛsɔɔ me mu; ɔtwee me firii nsuo a emu dɔ mu.
18 Wangihlenga esitheni sami esilamandla, ezitheni zami ezazingigabhela ngamandla.
Ɔgyee me firii mʼatamfoɔ a wɔyɛ den nsam, atamfoɔ a wɔkyiri me na wɔn ho yɛ den pa ara ma me.
19 Zangijamela mhla ngisebunzimeni, kodwa uThixo waba yinsika yami.
Wɔbaa me so wɔ mʼamanehunu da mu, nanso Awurade pagyaa me.
20 Wangikhupha wangibeka endaweni ebanzi; wangihlenga ngoba wayethokoza ngami.
Ɔde me baa baabi a banbɔ wɔ; ɔgyee me, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼani ku me ho.
21 UThixo ungenzele okulingene ukulunga kwami; wangivuza ngokufanele ukuhlanzeka kwezandla zami.
“Awurade ne me adi no sɛdeɛ me tenenee teɛ; wahwɛ me nsa a ɛho teɛ so atua me ka.
22 Ngoba ngizigcinile izindlela zikaThixo; angenzanga okubi ngokufulathela uNkulunkulu wami.
Ɛfiri sɛ, manante Awurade akwan so; Mentwee me ho mfirii me Onyankopɔn ho nkɔyɛɛ bɔne.
23 Yonke imithetho yakhe iphambi kwami; angizifulathelanga izimiso zakhe.
Ne mmara nyinaa gu mʼanim; mentwee me ho mfirii ne nhyehyɛeɛ ho.
24 Ngibe ngilokhu ngimsulwa phambi kwakhe njalo ngisixwayile isono.
Me ho nni asɛm wɔ Onyankopɔn anim; matwe me ho afiri bɔne ho.
25 UThixo ungivuze ngokufanele ukulunga kwami; ngokufanele ukuhlanzeka kwami phambi kwakhe.
Awurade tuaa me papayɛ so ka, ɛfiri sɛ menni fɔ wɔ nʼanim.
26 Kwabathembekileyo lawe uthembekile, kwabamsulwa lawe umsulwa,
“Woda wo ho adi sɛ ɔnokwafoɔ kyerɛ wɔn a wɔdi nokorɛ, wɔn a wɔdi mu nso wo kyerɛ wɔn sɛ wodi mu.
27 kwabahlanzekileyo uziveza uhlanzekile, kodwa kwabangaqondanga uziveza ukhaliphile.
Woyi wo kronkronyɛ kyerɛ ɔkronkronni, nanso amumuyɛfoɔ deɛ wokyiri wɔn.
28 Uyabasindisa abathobekileyo; kodwa amehlo akho akhangele abazigqajayo ukuba ubehlisele phansi.
Wogye ahobrɛasefoɔ, nanso wʼani kɔ ahantanfoɔ so sɛ wobɛbrɛ wɔn ase.
29 Uyisibane sami, Oh Thixo, uThixo uguqula ubumnyama bami bube yikukhanya.
Ao Awurade, woyɛ me kanea. Aane, Awurade woma me sum dane hann.
30 Ngosizo lwakho ngingaphuma ngimelane lebutho lempi, ngoNkulunkulu wami ngingawukhwela umduli.
Wʼahoɔden a wode ma me enti, metumi ka akodɔm gu; me Onyankopɔn enti, metumi foro ɔfasuo.
31 Izindlela zikaNkulunkulu uqobo lwakhe ziphelele; ilizwi likaThixo kalilasici. Ulihawu labo bonke abaphephela kuye.
“Onyankopɔn deɛ, nʼakwan yɛ pɛ; Awurade bɔhyɛ nyinaa ba mu. Ɔyɛ akokyɛm ma wɔn a wɔhwehwɛ banbɔ wɔ ne mu.
32 Ngoba ngubani uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kukaThixo? Njalo ngubani oliDwala ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu wethu na?
Hwan ne Onyankopɔn, gye sɛ Awurade? Hwan ne ɔbotantim no, gye sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn?
33 NguNkulunkulu ongihlomisa amandla enze indlela yami iphelele.
Onyankopɔn ne mʼaban a ɛyɛ den; wagye me, na wama me kwan so ayɛ pɛ.
34 Wenza inyawo zami zibe njengezempala; ungenza ngime ezingqongweni.
Ɔma mʼanammɔn ho yɛ hare sɛ ɔforoteɛ deɛ; Ɔma me gyina sorɔnsorɔmmea.
35 Ufundisa izandla zami ukulwa impi, izingalo zami zingaligobisa idandili lethusi.
Ɔsiesie me ma ɔko; na mʼabasa tumi kuntunu kɔbere mfrafraeɛ tadua.
36 Uyanginika isihlangu sakho sokunqoba; uyazehlisela phansi ukuze ungenze ngibe mkhulu.
Woama me wo nkwagyeɛ kyɛm. Wo mmoa ama mayɛ ɔkɛseɛ.
37 Uqhelisa indlela enginyathela kuyo, ukuze inqagala zami zingapheci.
Woabɔ ɛkwan tɛtrɛɛ ama me nan sɛdeɛ ɛrenwatiri.
38 Ngaxotshana lezitha zami ngaziqothula; kangibuyanga ngingakazibhubhisi zonke.
“Metaa mʼatamfoɔ so sɛee wɔn; mannyina kɔsii sɛ wɔdii nkoguo.
39 Ngaziqothula okupheleleyo, njalo zazingeke zisavuka; zawela ngaphansi kwezinyawo zami.
Meyamoo wɔn, mebɔɔ wɔn hwee fam, na wɔantumi ansɔre; wɔhwehwee ase wɔ me nan ase.
40 Wangihlomisa ngamandla okulwa impi; wenza abaxabana lami bakhothama ezinyaweni zami.
Wohyɛɛ me ahoɔden maa ɔko; woaka mʼatamfoɔ ahyɛ me nan ase.
41 Wenza izitha zami zafulathela zabaleka, njalo ngazibhubhisa izitha zami.
Womaa wɔdanee wɔn ani dwaneeɛ, na mesɛe wɔn a wɔtan me nyinaa.
42 Bakhala becela uncedo, kodwa wayengekho owayengabahlenga kuThixo, kodwa kaphendulanga.
Wɔsu pɛɛ mmoa, nanso obiara ammɛgye wɔn. Wɔsu frɛɛ Awurade, nanso wannye wɔn so.
43 Ngabatshaya bacholeka njengothuli lomhlabathi; ngabagxoba ngabanyathela njengodaka ezindleleni.
Meyamoo wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ sɛ asase so mfuturo; mepraa wɔn guu nsuka mu sɛ wira.
44 Ungikhulule ekuhlaselweni yilababantu; ungigcine ngiyinhloko yezizwe. Abantu engangingabazi sebebuswa yimi,
“Womaa me nkonimdie wɔ wɔn a wɔbɔ me kwaadu so. Woahwɛ sɛ mɛyɛ amanaman sodifoɔ; na nnipa a mennim wɔn som me.
45 abezizweni bayatshotshobala phambi kwami; bathi bengizwa nje ngendaba, bangilalele.
Ananafoɔ brɛ wɔn ho ase ma me; wɔte me nka pɛ ara a, wɔde wɔn ho ma me.
46 Bonke badelile; beza bethuthumela bevela ezinqabeni zabo.
Wɔn nyinaa bɔ huboa, na wɔde ahopopoɔ firi wɔn nsraban mu ba.
47 UThixo uyaphila! Alidunyiswe iDwala lami! Kaphakanyiswe uNkulunkulu wami, iDwala, uMsindisi wami!
“Awurade te ase! Ayɛyi nka me botan, ma wɔmma Onyankopɔn, me nkwagyeɛ botan so.
48 UnguNkulunkulu ongiphindiselelayo, obeka izizwe ngaphansi kwami,
Ɔno ne Onyankopɔn a ɔtɔ wɔn a wɔha me so awere; ɔka amanaman no hyɛ mʼase
49 ongikhululayo ezitheni zami. Wena wangiphakamisela ngaphezu kwezitha zami; wangihlenga ebantwini bodlakela.
na ɔgye me firi mʼatamfoɔ nsam. Wode me si baabi a mʼatamfoɔ nnuru, wogye me firi atutupɛfoɔ a wɔtia me nsam.
50 Ngakho ngizakudumisa, Oh Thixo, phakathi kwezizwe; ngizahlabelela indumiso yebizo lakho.
Ao Awurade yei enti, mɛkamfo wo wɔ amanaman mu nyinaa; na mɛto ayɛyie nnwom ama wo edin.
51 Unika inkosi yakhe ukunqoba okukhulu; ubonakalisa umusa wakhe ongapheliyo kogcotshiweyo wakhe, kuDavida lenzalo yakhe kuze kube phakade.”
“Wode nkonimdie akɛseɛ ama wo ɔhene; woda ɔdɔ a ɛnsa da adi kyerɛ deɛ woasra no ngo, wode kyerɛ Dawid, ne nʼasefoɔ afebɔɔ.”
