Amahubo 130

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngingaphansi ekujuleni ngiyakhala kuwe, Thixo;

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Jehovah.

2 Thixo, zwana ilizwi lami. Indlebe zakho kazilalele ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa.

Lord, hear my voice. Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 Aluba wena, Thixo ububhala phansi zonke izono, ngubani ongema na Nkosi?

If thou, Jehovah, should note iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

4 Kodwa kuwe kulentethelelo; ngalokho uyesatshwa.

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou may be feared.

5 Ngiyamlindela uThixo, umphefumulo wami uyalinda, ngibeka ithemba lami elizwini lakho.

I wait for Jehovah. My soul waits, and in his word do I hope,

6 Umphefumulo wami ulindela uThixo okudlula abalindi bemelele ukusa, okudlula abalindi bemelele ukusa.

my soul for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, watchmen for the morning.

7 We Israyeli, beka ithemba lakho kuThixo, ngoba kuye uThixo kulothando olungaphuthiyo njalo kuye kulensindiso epheleleyo.

O Israel, hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is loving kindness, and with him is plentiful redemption.

8 Yena ngokwakhe uzahlenga u-Israyeli kuzozonke izono zabo.

And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
