Amahubo 5
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kwabemifece. Ihubo likaDavida. Zwana amazwi ami, Oh Thixo, hawukela ukububula kwami.
Give ear to my words, O Jehovah, Consider my (meditation)
2 Lalela ukukhala kwami ngidinga uncedo, Nkosi yami loNkulunkulu wami, ngoba ngikhuleka kuwe.
Hearken to the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for to thee do I pray.
3 Ekuseni, Oh Thixo, uyalizwa ilizwi lami; ekuseni ngibeka izicelo zami phambi kwakho ngilinde ngithembile.
O Jehovah, in the morning thou shall hear my voice. In the morning I will direct to thee, and will keep watch.
4 Kawusuye uNkulunkulu othokoza ngobubi; ababi ngeke bahlale lawe.
For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee.
5 Iziqholo ngeke zime phambi kwakho; uyabazonda bonke abenza okubi.
The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight. Thou hate all workers of iniquity.
6 Uyababhubhisa labo abaqamba amanga; abomele igazi labakhohlisayo uThixo uyabenyanya.
Thou will destroy those who speak lies. Jehovah abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.
7 Kodwa mina, ngomusa wakho omkhulu, ngizangena endlini yakho; ngizakhothamela phansi ngokuhlonipha ngikhangele ethempelini lakho elingcwele.
But as for me, in the abundance of thy loving kindness I will come into thy house. In thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.
8 Ngikhokhele, Oh Thixo, ngokulunga kwakho; ngenxa yezitha zami yenza iqonde indlela yakho phambi kwami.
Lead me, O Jehovah, in thy righteousness because of my enemies. Make thy way straight before my face.
9 Kalikho lalinye ilizwi lomlomo wabo elithembekileyo; inhliziyo yabo igcwele ukubhidliza. Umphimbo wabo ulingcwaba elikhamisileyo; ngolimi lwabo bakhuluma inkohliso.
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongue they deceive.
10 Tshono uthi balecala, Oh Nkulunkulu! Akuthi amacebo abo abe yikuwa kwabo. Baxotshele khatshana ngenxa yezono zabo ezinengi, ngoba bakuhlamukele wena.
Hold them guilty, O God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions. For they have rebelled against thee.
11 Kodwa akuthi bonke abaphephela kuwe bathokoze; kabahlabelele njalonjalo ngenjabulo. Basibekele ngovikelo lwakho, kuthi labo abalithandayo ibizo lakho bajabule ngawe.
But let all those who take refuge in thee rejoice. Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defend them. Let those also who love thy name be joyful in thee.
12 Ngoba ngempela, Oh Thixo, uyababusisa abalungileyo; uyabazungeza ngomusa wakho njengesihlangu.
For thou will bless the righteous man, O Jehovah. Thou will encompass him with favor as with a shield. (Selah)
