Amahubo 65
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ihubo likaDavida. Ingoma. Udumo lukulindele, Oh Nkulunkulu, eZiyoni; kuwe izifungo zethu zizagcwaliseka.
For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
2 Yebo, wena owuzwayo umkhuleko, bonke abantu bazakuza kuwe.
O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 Kwathi lapho sisancindezelwa yizono, wazithethelela iziphambeko zethu.
Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover them.
4 Babusisiwe labo obakhethayo ubasondeze bazohlala emagumeni Akho! Sigcwalisiwe ngezinto ezinhle zendlu Yakho, ezethempeli lakho elingcwele.
Happy the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of your holy temple.
5 Uyasiphendula ngezenzo zokulunga ezimangalisayo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, themba lemikhawulo yonke yomhlaba lenlwandle ezikude,
In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.
6 owabumba izintaba ngamandla akho, lapho wena usuziqinisile ngamandla,
By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;
7 owathulisa ukuduma kolwandle, ukuduma kwamagagasi azo, lokuhlokoma kwezizwe.
you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of nations,
8 Labo abahlala khatshana bayazesaba izimangaliso zakho; lapho okudabuka khona ukusa lokuhlwa okufiphala khona, uhlabela izingoma zentokozo.
so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.
9 Uyawunakekela umhlaba uwuthelezele ngamanzi; uyawunothisa kakhulu. Imifula kaNkulunkulu igcwalisiwe ngamanzi ukuze abantu bazuze amabele, ngoba ukumisile wena lokho.
You visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,
10 Uyayigcwalisa imisele yawo ngamanzi uyendlale kahle imibundu yawo; uyawuthambisa ngemikhizo ubusise amabele awo.
watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.
11 Uyawuphelelisa umnyaka ngenala, izinqola Zakho ziphuphume ngokugcwala.
You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.
12 Amadlelo asenkangala ayaphuphuma; izintaba zigqokiswe ngenjabulo.
The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened with joy.
13 Amadlelo agcwele imihlambi yezimvu lezigodi zisibekelwe ngamabele; ziyamemeza ngentokozo zihlabelela.
The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
