Amahubo 45
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Njengengoma ethi “Izimbali.” Ihubo lamaDodana kaKhora. Ingoma yomtshado. Inhliziyo yami iyagubhazela ngendaba enkulu nxa ngivuma inkondlo yami ngiyihayela inkosi; ulimi lwami lusiba lomlobi ololwazi.
To him that excelleth on Shoshannim a song of love to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. Mine heart will vtter forth a good matter: I wil intreat in my workes of the King: my tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.
2 Uyilikhwa lamakhwa emadodeni wonke lezindebe zakho ziconjwe kuhle ngobunono, njengalokhu uNkulunkulu ekubusisile lanininini.
Thou art fayrer then the children of men: grace is powred in thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.
3 Hloma inkemba yakho okhalweni, wena omkhulu; zembathise ngokukhazimula langobukhosi.
Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie, to wit, thy worship and thy glory,
4 Usebukhosini bakho khwela enqoleni ulokunqoba umele iqiniso lokuzithoba lokulunga; akuthi isandla sakho sokunene senze izimanga.
And prosper with thy glory: ride vpon the worde of trueth and of meekenes and of righteousnes: so thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Akuthi imitshoko yakho ecijileyo icibe inhliziyo zezitha zenkosi; akuthi izizwe ziwe ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakho.
Thine arrowes are sharpe to pearce the heart of the Kings enemies: therefore the people shall fall vnder thee.
6 Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, Oh Nkulunkulu, sizakuma nini lanini; intonga yokwahlulela okulungileyo izakuba yintonga yombuso wakho.
Thy throne, O God, is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnesse.
7 Uyakuthanda ukulunga njalo uyabuzonda ububi; ngakho uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho usekubeke ngaphezu kwabakhula bakho ngokukugcoba ngamafutha entokozo.
Thou louest righteousnes, and hatest wickednesse, because God, euen thy God hath anoynted thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
8 Zonke izembatho zakho ziqholiwe ngemure, langenhlaba langekhasiya; ezigodlweni eziceciswe ngempondo zendlovu kuqhamuka inhlokomo yeziginci ekuthokozisayo.
All thy garments smelll of myrrhe and aloes, and cassia, when thou commest out of the yuorie palaces, where they haue made thee glad.
9 Amadodakazi amakhosi akhona kanye labanye abesifazane abahloniphekayo; kwesokunene sakho ngumlobokazi wesikhosini oceciswe ngegolide lase-Ofiri.
Kings daugthers were among thine honorable wiues: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in a vesture of golde of Ophir.
10 Lalela, ndodakazi, nanzelela uvule indlebe; khohlwa abakini, lendlu yakwenu.
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine eare: forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house.
11 Inkosi iyaphelelwa ngobuhle bakho; yihloniphe, ngoba iyinkosi yakho.
So shall the King haue pleasure in thy beautie: for he is thy Lord, and reuerence thou him.
12 Indodakazi yaseThire izakuza lesipho, amadoda anothileyo azazincengela kuwe.
And the daughter of Tyrus with the rich of the people shall doe homage before thy face with presents.
13 Ngaphakathi exhibeni layo inkosazana yibucwazicwazi; isembatho sayo sicecisiwe ngegolide.
The Kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of broydred golde.
14 Isiwa enkosini yembethe izivunulo ezelukiweyo; abakhaphi bayo bayayilandela balethwe kuwe.
She shalbe brought vnto the King in raiment of needle worke: the virgins that follow after her, and her companions shall be brought vnto thee.
15 Bangeniswa lapho ngentokozo lenjabulo; bangena esigodlweni senkosi.
With ioy and gladnes shall they be brought, and shall enter into the Kings palace.
16 Amadodana enu azathatha isikhundla saboyihlo; lizawenza abe ngamakhosana elizweni lonke.
In steade of thy fathers shall thy children be: thou shalt make them princes through all the earth.
17 Ibizo lakho ngizalenza likhunjulwe kokuphela yizizukulwane zonke; yikho-ke izizwe zizakudumisa nini lanini.
I will make thy Name to be remembred through all generations: therefore shall the people giue thanks vnto thee world without ende.
