< Amahubo 6 >
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ngeleziginci. Kulandelwa isheminithi. Ihubo likaDavida. Oh Thixo ungangikhalimeli ngolaka lwakho njalo ungangitshayi uthukuthele.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your fury.
2 Woba lomusa kimi, Thixo, ngoba ngiphela amandla; Oh Thixo, ngisilisa, ngoba amathambo ami alobuhlungu.
Favor me, O YHWH, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O YHWH, For my bones have been troubled,
3 Umoya wami udabukile. Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo, koze kube nini?
And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?
4 Phenduka, Oh Thixo, ungikhulule; ngihlenga ngenxa yothando lwakho olungehlulekiyo.
Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ sake.
5 Kakho okukhumbulayo nxa esefile. Ngubani okukhonzayo esengcwabeni lakhe? (Sheol )
For in death there is no memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (Sheol )
6 Ngikhathele ngokububula; ubusuku bonke umbheda wami uba manzi te ngikhala umendlalo wami ngiwugcwalise ngezinyembezi.
I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.
7 Amehlo ami ayafiphala ngenxa yosizi; ayanqundeka ngenxa yazo zonke izitha zami.
My eye is old from provocation, It is old because of all my adversaries,
8 Xekani kimi lina lonke elenza okubi, ngoba uThixo usekuzwile ukulila kwami.
Turn from me all you workers of iniquity, For YHWH heard the voice of my weeping,
9 UThixo usekuzwile ukukhala kwami ngicela umusa; UThixo uyawamukela umkhuleko wami.
YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.
10 Zonke izitha zami zizayangeka zidaniswe; zizatshibilika zibuyele emuva masinyane sezilehlazo.
All my enemies are greatly ashamed and troubled, They turn back—ashamed [in] a moment!
