Amahubo 74
1 Ihubo lika-Asafu Kungani ususilahlile kokuphela na, awu Nkulunkulu? Kungani ulaka lwakho luvutha phezu kwezimvu zedlelo lakho na?
A poem of Asaph why? O God have you rejected [us] to perpetuity does it smoke? anger your on [the] sheep of pasture your.
2 Khumbula abantu owabathengayo ekadeni, isizwe selifa lakho owasihlengayo iNtaba iZiyoni, owawuhlala khona.
Remember congregation your - [which] you acquired antiquity [which] you redeemed [the] tribe of inheritance your [the] mountain of Zion which - you have dwelt on it.
3 Phenduka ungene emanxiweni aphakade la, incithakalo yonke le yenziwe yisitha endlini engcwele.
Lift up! footsteps your to [the] ruins of perpetuity everything he has done harm to [the] enemy in the sanctuary.
4 Izitha zakho zazibhonga endaweni owawuhlangana lathi kuyo; zamisa impawu zazo njengeziboniso.
They roared opposers your in [the] midst of appointed place your they set up signs their signs.
5 Zenza njengabantu abaphakamise amahloka ukuphendla indlela yabo eguswini.
It was known like [one who] brings upwards in a thicket of tree[s] axes.
6 Zafohloza konke okubaziweyo ngamahloka azo langezando.
(And now *Q(K)*) engravings its altogether with axe[s] and crowbars they struck!
7 Zatshisa indlu yakho engcwele yaphela nya; zangcolisa indawo ehlala iBizo lakho.
They sent in fire sanctuary your to the ground they profaned [the] dwelling place of name your.
8 Zathi ngezinhliziyo zazo, “Sizababhuqa baphele nya!” Zatshisa zonke izindawo zokukhonzela uNkulunkulu elizweni.
They said in heart their let us oppress them altogether they burned all [the] appointed places of God in the land.
9 Kasisaboniswa mimangaliso; kakuselabuphrofethi, kakho kithi owaziyo ukuthi kuzaze kube nini kunjalo.
Signs our not we have seen there not still [is] a prophet and not [is] with us [one who] knows until when?
10 Koze kube nini isitha sikuklolodela na, awu Nkulunkulu? Izitha zizalithuka kokuphela ibizo lakho na?
Until when? O God will he taunt [the] opponent will he spurn? [the] enemy name your to perpetuity.
11 Kungani ufinyeza isandla sakho sokunene na? Sikhuphe ezingoxweni zezembatho zakho ubabhubhise.
Why? do you draw back hand your and right [hand] your from [the] midst of (bosom your *Q(K)*) destroy.
12 Kodwa wena Nkulunkulu uyiNkosi yami kwasekadeni; uletha insindiso emhlabeni.
And God [has been] king my from antiquity [who] does salvation in [the] midst of the earth.
13 Kwakunguwe owaqhekeza ulwandle ngamandla akho; wafohloza amakhanda esilo phakathi kwamanzi.
You you divided by strength your [the] sea you shattered [the] heads of sea monsters on the waters.
14 Kwakunguwe owachoboza amakhanda kaLeviyathani waba yikudla kwezidalwa zasenkangala.
You you crushed [the] heads of Leviathan you gave it food to a people to desert-dwellers.
15 Kwakunguwe owavula imithombo lemifula; womisa qha imifula eyayihlala igeleza.
You you broke open a spring and a torrent you you dried up rivers of ever-flowing.
16 Imini ngeyakho, ngobakho njalo lobusuku; walimisa ilanga kanye lenyanga.
[belongs] to You day also [belongs] to you night you you prepared a luminary and [the] sun.
17 Kwakunguwe owamisa imingcele yonke yomhlaba; wenza ihlobo kanye lobusika.
You you established all [the] boundaries of [the] earth summer and winter you you formed them.
18 Khumbula ukuthi isitha besikuklolodela, Thixo, ukuthi iziwula bezihlambaza ibizo lakho.
Remember this [the] enemy he taunted - O Yahweh and a people foolish they spurned name your.
19 Ungaqhubeli umphefumulo wejuba lakho ezinyamazaneni; ungaze wakhohlwa kokuphela impilo yabantu bakho abahluphekayo.
May not you give to an animal [the] life of turtle-dove your [the] life of poor [people] your may not you forget to perpetuity.
20 Nanzelela isivumelwano sakho, ngoba izikhundla zobugebenga zigcwele kulolonke ilizwe ezindaweni ezilamathunzi.
Pay attention to the covenant for they are full [the] dark places of [the] land settlements of violence.
21 Ungayekeli abancindezelweyo babuyele beyangekile; sengathi abayanga labaswelayo bangalidumisa ibizo lakho.
May not he return [the] oppressed humiliated [the] poor and [the] needy may they praise name your.
22 Phakama, awu Nkulunkulu, vikela okungokwakho; khumbula ukuthi iziwula zikuhleka njani ilanga lonke.
Arise! O God conduct! case your remember reproach your from a fool all the day.
23 Ungakulibali ukuvungama kwalabo abalwa lawe, ukuxokozela kwezitha zakho, okuzwakala kokuphela.
May not you forget [the] sound of opposers your [the] uproar of [those who] rise against you [which] goes up continually.
