Amahubo 52

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Lapho uDoyegi umʼEdomi wayeye kuSawuli wamtshela wathi, “UDavida uye wayangena endlini ka-Ahimeleki.” Kungani uncoma ngobubi, wena somandlase? Kungani utshona untela ilanga lonke, wena olihlazo emehlweni kaNkulunkulu?

To the choirmaster a poem of David. When came - Doeg the Edomite and he told to Saul and he said to him he has gone David to [the] house of Ahimelech. Why? do you boast in evil O mighty [man] [the] covenant loyalty of God [is] all the day.

2 Ulimi lwakho luceba incithakalo; lunjengensingo eloliweyo, wena owenza inkohliso.

Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.

3 Uthanda ububi kulobuhle, amanga kulokukhuluma iqiniso.

You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)

4 Uyawathanda wonke amanga alimazayo, wena limi olukhohlisayo!

You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.

5 Ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu uzakwehlisela ukubhubha okungapheliyo: Uzakuhlwitha akukhuphe ethenteni lakho; uzakuquphula akususe elizweni labaphilayo.

Also God he will tear down you to perpetuity he will snatch up you and he will tear away you from a tent and he will root up you from [the] land of living [people] (Selah)

6 Abalungileyo bazabona besabe; bazamhleka bathi,

So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.

7 “Nangu-ke manje umuntu lo ongenzanga uNkulunkulu inqaba yakhe kodwa wathemba inotho yakhe enkulu wakhula waba lamandla ngokuwisa abanye!”

There! the man [who] not he made God refuge his and he trusted in [the] greatness of rich[es] his he was strong in destruction his.

8 Kodwa mina nginjengesihlahla se-oliva esikhula endlini kaNkulunkulu; ngithembe uthando lukaNkulunkulu olungaphuthiyo nini lanini.

And I - [am] like an olive tree luxuriant in [the] house of God I trust in [the] covenant loyalty of God forever and ever.

9 Ngizakudumisa lanini ngalokho okwenzileyo; ngizathemba ebizweni lakho, ngoba lihle ibizo lakho. Ngizakudumisa phambi kwabangcwele bakho.

I will give thanks to you for ever for you have acted and I may wait for name your for [it is] good before faithful [people] your.
