Amahubo 19
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Amazulu afakaza inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu; lomkhathi utshumayela umsebenzi wezandla zakhe.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2 Usuku ngosuku lezizinto ziyakhuluma; ubusuku lobusuku zibonisa ulwazi.
Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night shows knowledge.
3 Akula nkulumo, akula mazwi ilizwi lazo alizwakali.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Kodwa Ilizwi lazo lizwakala emhlabeni wonke, amazwi azo afika emikhawulweni yomhlaba. Emazulwini uNkulunkulu uselakhele ithente ilanga.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Lona linjengomyeni ephuma exhibeni lakhe, njengentshantshu ethakazelela ukugijima ibanga layo.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoices as a strong man to run a race.
6 Liphuma emkhawulweni wamazulu lihambe indlela yalo liyotshona ngakuloyana; kakukho okusithekileyo ekutshiseni kwalo.
His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 Umthetho kaThixo uphelele uvuselela umphefumulo. Izimiso zikaThixo zithembekile, zihlakaniphisa izithutha.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Iziqondiso zikaThixo zilungile, ziletha ukuthokoza enhliziyweni. Imilayo kaThixo isobala, iletha ukukhanya emehlweni.
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Ukumesaba uThixo kuhlanzekile, kumi kuze kube phakade. Izahlulelo zikaThixo ziqinisekile njalo zilungile ngokupheleleyo.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 Ziligugu okudlula igolide, okudlula igolide elinengi elicengekileyo; zimnandi kuloluju, uluju olujuluka ohlangeni.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Ngazo inceku yakho iyacetshiswa; ukuzilandela kulomvuzo omkhulu.
Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Ngubani ongazizwisisa iziphambeko zakhe? Thethelela iziphambeko zami ezisithekileyo.
Who can understand his errors? cleanse you me from secret faults.
13 Phephisa inceku yakho ezonweni zamabomo; sengathi zingeze zabusa phezu kwami. Lapho ngizakuba msulwa ngingabi lacala lokona okukhulu.
Keep back your servant also from arrogant sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.
14 Sengathi amazwi omlomo wami leminakano yenhliziyo yami kungathokozisa emehlweni akho, Oh Thixo, Dwala lami loMhlengi wami.
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
