Amahubo 6

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeleziginci. Kulandelwa isheminithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo ungangikhalimeli ngolaka lwakho njalo ungangitshayi uthukuthele.

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, nor chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 Woba lomusa kimi, Thixo, ngoba ngiphela amandla; Oh Thixo, ngisilisa, ngoba amathambo ami alobuhlungu.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am withered away. O Jehovah, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

3 Umoya wami udabukile. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo, koze kube nini?

My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O Jehovah, how long?

4 Phenduka, Oh Thixo, ungikhulule; ngihlenga ngenxa yothando lwakho olungehlulekiyo.

Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul. Save me for thy loving kindness' sake.

5 Kakho okukhumbulayo nxa esefile. Ngubani okukhonzayo esengcwabeni lakhe? (Sheol h7585)

For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)

6 Ngikhathele ngokububula; ubusuku bonke umbheda wami uba manzi te ngikhala umendlalo wami ngiwugcwalise ngezinyembezi.

I am weary with my groaning. Every night I make my bed to swim. I water my couch with my tears.

7 Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi; ayanqundeka ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami.

My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.

8 Xekani kimi lina lonke elenza okubi, ngoba uThixo usekuzwile ukulila kwami.

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 UThixo usekuzwile ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; UThixo uyawamukela umkhuleko wami.

Jehovah has heard my supplication. Jehovah will receive my prayer.

10 Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zidaniswe; zizatshibilika zibuyele emuva masinyane sezilehlazo.

All my enemies shall be put to shame and greatly troubled. They shall turn back. They shall be put to shame suddenly.
