Amahubo 22
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kulandela itshuni ethi, “Impalakazi yekuSeni.” Ihubo likaDavida. Nkulunkulu wami, Nkulunkulu wami, kungani usungidelile na? Kungani ukhatshana kokungisindisa, khatshana kwamazwi okububula kwami?
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2 Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ngiyakhala emini, kodwa kawuphenduli; ebusuku, kangithulanga.
O my God, I cry in the day time, but you hear not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 Kanti usesihlalweni sobukhosi uNguye oNgcwele uyindumiso ka-Israyeli.
But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Obaba babeka ithemba labo Kuwe; bona bathemba wena wabakhulula.
Our fathers trusted in you: they trusted, and you did deliver them.
5 Bakhala kuwe bakhululwa; bathemba kuwe kabaze badaniswa.
They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not confounded.
6 Kodwa ngiyimpethu nje kangisumuntu, ngihozwa ngabantu njalo abanengi bangeyise.
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 Bonke abangibonayo bayangihleka; bayangithethisa baze banyikinye amakhanda:
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 “Uthemba uThixo lowo Thixo kamkhulule. Kamsindise njengoba ethokoza ngaye.”
He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 Kanti wena wangikhupha esiswini; wangenza ngakuthemba kusukela ebeleni likamama.
But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10 Kusukela ekuzalweni kwami ngabekwa ezandleni Zakho; kusukela esiswini sikamama ulokhu unguNkulunkulu wami.
I was cast upon you from the womb: you are my God from my mother's belly.
11 Ungabi khatshana kwami, ngoba uhlupho luseduze njalo kakho ongangisiza.
Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12 Inkunzi ezinengi zingihanqile; inkunzi ezilamandla zaseBhashani zingihonqolozele.
Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 Izilwane ezibhongayo ezibamba zidabudabule zingikhamisela imilomo yazo.
They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 Ngiyathululeka njengamanzi, njalo amathambo ami wonke akhumukile. Inhliziyo yami isiphenduke yaba yingcino; isincibilikile ngaphakathi kwami.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 Amandla ami asetshile qhu ingathi ludengezi, lolimi lwami luyanamathela elwangeni lwami; uyangilalisa othulini lokufa.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
16 Izinja sezingihanqile; ixuku labantu ababi selingihonqolozele, sebengigwaze izandla lezinyawo.
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 Ngingawabala wonke amathambo ami; abantu bayanginyonkoloza bangiklolodele.
I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 Behlukaniselana izembatho zami njalo benze inkatho ngezigqoko zami.
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 Kodwa wena, Thixo, ungabi kude lami. Ungamandla ami, woza masinyane uzongisiza.
But be not you far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.
20 Phephisa impilo yami enkembeni, impilo yami eligugu emandleni azo izinja.
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Ngilamulela emlonyeni wezilwane; ngisindisa empondweni zezinyathi.
Save me from the lion's mouth: for you have heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 Ngizamemezela ibizo Lakho kubafowethu; emphakathini ngizakudumisa.
I will declare your name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
23 Lina elimesabayo uThixo, mdumiseni! Lani lina zizukulwane zikaJakhobe, mbabazeni! Mhlonipheni, lina lonke zizukulwane zika-Israyeli!
All of you that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel.
24 Ngoba keyisanga loba adelele ukuhlupheka kwalowo ohlukuluzwayo; kamfihlelanga ubuso bakhe kodwa walalela ukukhala kwakhe ecela ukusizwa.
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 Sivela kuwe isithathelo sokudumisa kwami emhlanganweni omkhulu; ngizagcwalisa izifungo zami phambi kwalabo abakwesabayo.
My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 Abayanga bazakudla basuthe labo abamdingayo uThixo bazamdumisa sengathi inhliziyo zenu zingaphila nini lanini!
The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 Yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba izakhumbula iphendukele kuThixo, njalo lezimuli zonke zezizwe zizakhothama phansi phambi kwakhe,
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the families of the nations shall worship before you.
28 ngoba umbuso ungokaThixo njalo uyabusa phezu kwezizwe.
For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 Zonke izinothi zomhlaba zizazitika ngokudla njalo zikhonze; bonke abangena othulini bazaguqa phambi Kwakhe labo abangeke baziphilise.
All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 Abesikhathi esizayo bazamkhonza; izizukulwane zizakwaziswa ngoThixo.
A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 Bazatshumayela ukulunga kwakhe, ebantwini abangakazalwa ngoba ukwenzile Yena.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this.
