< Amahubo 21 >

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Yebo Thixo umbusi uyathokoza ngamandla akho. Kukhulu ukuthokoza kwakhe ngokunqoba akuphiwa nguwe!
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. O Yahweh, in thy strength, will the king rejoice, and, in thy salvation, how greatly will he exult!
2 Usumphile isiloyiso senhliziyo yakhe njalo kawumncitshanga isicelo sezindebe zakhe.
The longing of his heart, hast thou given him, and, the request of his lips, hast thou not withheld. (Selah)
3 Wamemukela ngezibusiso ezinhle wamethesa umqhele wegolide elicengekileyo ekhanda lakhe.
For thou wilt come to meet him, with the blessings of goodness, Thou wilt set on his head, a crown of pure gold.
4 Wacela kuwe ukusila, wamupha ubude bezinsuku kuze kube nini lanini.
Life, he asked of thee, Thou hast given it him, length of days, to times age-abiding and beyond.
5 Ngokunqoba akuphiwe nguwe lukhulu udumo lwakhe; usumgqizise inkazimulo lobukhosi.
Great is his glory, in thy salvation, Honour and majesty, wilt thou lay upon him;
6 Ngempela usumuphe izibusiso ezingapheliyo wamenza wajabula ngentokozo yobukhona Bakho.
For thou wilt appoint him blessings evermore, wilt cheer him with joy by thy countenance;
7 Ngoba umbusi uyamthemba uThixo; ngothando loPhezukonke olungaphuthiyo akayikuzanyazanyiswa.
For, the king, is trusting in Yahweh, and, in the lovingkindness of the Highest, shall he not be shaken.
8 Isandla Sakho sizazibamba zonke izitha Zakho; isandla Sakho sokunene sizabaxhakalaza abakuzondayo.
Thy hand, will find out, all thy foes, Thine own right hand, will find out them who hate thee.
9 Kuzakuthi lapho uqhamuka wena uzabenza babe njengomlilo wemvutho enkulu. Ngenxa yentukuthelo yakhe uThixo uzabaginya, umlilo wakhe uzabaqothula.
Thou wilt make them like a furnace of fire, at the time of thy presence, —Yahweh, in his anger, will swallow them up, and there shall consume them a fire:
10 Wena uzabhubhisa izizukulwane zabo emhlabeni, inzalo yabo ebantwini.
Their fruit—out of the earth, wilt thou destroy, and their seed, from among the sons of men;
11 Loba beceba okubi Ngawe besakha amaqhinga amabi, abangeke baphumelele;
For they have held out, against thee, a wicked thing, They have devised a scheme they cannot accomplish.
12 ngoba uzabenza bafulathele babaleke nxa usubakhombela usulinwebile idandili.
For thou wilt cause them to turn their back, Upon thy bow-strings, wilt thou make ready against their face.
13 Phakanyiswa, Oh Thixo ngamandla Akho; sizahlabela sibabaze amandla Akho.
Be exalted, O Yahweh, in thy strength! With song and with string will we sound forth thy power.
