Amahubo 30
1 Ihubo. Ingoma. Elokunikela ithempeli. ElikaDavida. Ngizakuphakamisa, Oh Thixo, ngoba wangenyula ekujuleni awaze wavumela izitha zami zijabule phezu kwami.
A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David. I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.
2 Awu Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, ngacela Kuwe uncedo wangisilisa.
O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.
O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead. (Sheol h7585)
4 Hlabelelani kuThixo lina bathembekileyo bakhe; dumisani ibizo lakhe elingcwele.
Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.
5 Ngoba ukuthukuthela Kwakhe ngokomzuzwana nje, kodwa umusa wakhe ukhona okwempilo yonke; ukulila kungaqhubeka ubusuku bonke, kodwa ukuthokoza kuyafika ekuseni.
For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Ngathi lapho ngizizwa ngihlezi kuhle ngathi, “Kangisoze ngafa ngahlukuluzeka.”
When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.
7 Yebo Thixo, wathi lapho ungizwela wenza intaba yami yagxila qho; kodwa kwathi lapho usufihle ubuso Bakho ngaphelelwa lithemba.
Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.
8 Ngakhala kuwe, Thixo; ngacela umusa eNkosini:
My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.
9 “Kulenzuzo bani ngokubhujiswa kwami na, ngokutshona kwami egodini? Kambe uthuli luzakudumisa na? Lona luzafakaza na ngokuthembeka Kwakho?
What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
10 Zwana, Oh Thixo, ube lomusa kimi; woba lusizo lwami.”
Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
11 Waguqula ukububula kwami kwaba ngumgido; wangihlubula izigqoko zamasaka wangigqokisa ukuthokoza,
By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
12 ukuze inhliziyo yami ikuhlabelele ingathuli. Oh Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga nini lanini.
So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
