Amahubo 6

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

O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither 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 Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

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

My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

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

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.

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

For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave 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; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

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

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

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

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

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

The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.

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

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.
