Amahubo 77
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. KuJeduthuni, Elika-Asafi. Ihubo. Ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ngicela uncedo; ngakhala kuNkulunkulu ukuthi angizwe.
I cried to God with my voice, even to God with my voice; and he gave ear to me.
2 Ngathi ngikhathazekile ngamdinga uThixo; ebusuku ngazelula izandla azazezadinwa lomphefumulo wami wala ukududuzeka.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
3 Ngakukhumbula, Oh Nkulunkulu, ngabubula; ngacabanga, umoya wami wancipha.
I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)
4 Wala ukuthi amehlo ami avaleke; ngangikhathazekile ngisehluleka ukukhuluma.
You hold my eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 Ngakhumbula ngezinsuku ezedlulayo, insuku zakudala;
I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
6 ngakhumbula izingoma zami ebusuku. Inhliziyo yami yacabanga lomoya wami wadinga:
I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with my own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
7 “INkosi izakhalala kokuphela na? Ayisayikuphinde itshengise uthando lwayo njalo na?
Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favorable no more?
8 Kanti uthando lwayo olungapheliyo selunyamalele kokuphela na? Kanti isithembiso sayo sesiphelile kokuphela na?
Is his mercy clean gone for ever? does his promise fail for ever more?
9 Kanti uNkulunkulu usekhohliwe ukuba lesihawu na? Usethe ngokuzonda wagodla uzwelo lwakhe na?”
Has God forgotten to be gracious? has he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)
10 Ngasengikhumbula ngathi, “Yilokhu okunginqundayo, ukuthi isandla sokunene soPhezukonke kasisekho phezu kwami.
And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
11 Ngizayikhumbula imisebenzi kaThixo; yebo, ngizayikhumbula imimangaliso yakho yekadeni.
I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember your wonders of old.
12 Ngizacabanga ngayo yonke imisebenzi yakho nginakane ngazozonke izenzo zakho ezinkulu.”
I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.
13 Izindlela zakho, Oh Nkulunkulu, zingcwele; nguphi unkulunkulu omkhulu njengoNkulunkulu wethu na?
Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
14 Nguwe Nkulunkulu owenza izimanga; uyawatshengisa amandla akho ebantwini.
You are the God that do wonders: you have declared your strength among the people.
15 Ngengalo yakho elamandla wabakhulula abantu bakho, izizukulwane zikaJakhobe loJosefa.
You have with your arm redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Amanzi akubona wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, amanzi akubona atshotshobala; inziki zagonyuluka.
The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
17 Amayezi awathulula amanzi, isibhakabhaka sandindiza ngokuduma; imitshoko yakho yaphazima yaya le lale.
The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: your arrows also went abroad.
18 Umdumo wakho wezwakala uphakathi kwesivunguzane, umbane wakho wawukhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wavevezela wanyikinyeka.
The voice of your thunder was in the heaven: the lightning lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
19 Indlela yakho yadabula olwandle, umkhondo wakho phakathi kwamanzi, kodwa izinyathelo zakho zazingabonakali.
Your way is in the sea, and your path in the great waters, and your footsteps are not known.
20 Wabahola abantu bakho njengomhlambi wezimvu ngesandla sikaMosi lo-Aroni.
You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
