Amahubo 85
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Elamadodana kaKhora. Ihubo. Ulithandile ilizwe lakho, Oh Thixo; uyibuyisile inhlanhla kaJakhobe.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O LORD! thou hast been favorable to thy land; Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;
2 Wazithethelela iziphambeko zabantu bakho wazisibekela zonke izono zabo.
Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people, And cover all their sins! (Pause)
3 Walubuyisela eceleni lonke ulaka lwakho wakufulathela ukuthukuthela kwakho okwesabekayo.
Thou didst take away all thy displeasure, And abate the fierceness of thy wrath.
4 Sivuselele njalo, Oh Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu, ukubeke khatshana ukukucunula kwethu.
Restore us, O God of our salvation! And let thine anger towards us cease!
5 Uzasizondela kuze kube phakade na? Uzalugcina ulaka lwakho kuzozonke izizukulwane na?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Kawuzukusivuselela na, ukuze abantu bakho bathokoze kuwe?
Wilt thou not revive us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Sitshengise uthando lwakho olungaphuthiyo, Oh Thixo, usinike insindiso yakho.
Show us thy compassion, O LORD! And grant us thy salvation!
8 Ngizalalela lokho uNkulunkulu uThixo azakutsho; uthembisa abantu bakhe ukuthula, abangcwele bakhe kodwa kabangabuyeli ebufebeni babo.
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: Truly he will speak peace to his people, and to his servants; Only let them not turn again to folly!
9 Ngempela insindiso iseduze kulabo abamesabayo, ukuze inkazimulo yakhe ihlale elizweni lethu.
Yea, his salvation is near to those who fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Uthando lokuthembeka kuyahlangana ndawonye; ukulunga lokuthula kuyangana.
Mercy and truth shall meet together, Righteousness and peace shall kiss each other;
11 Ukuthembeka kuqhamuka emhlabathini, ukulunga kukhanya phansi kusezulwini.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; Righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Ngeqiniso uThixo uzanika okulungileyo, lelizwe lethu lizathela isivuno salo.
Yea, Jehovah will give prosperity, And our land shall yield her increase.
13 Ukulunga kuhamba phambi kwakhe kulungisele izinyathelo zakhe indlela.
Righteousness shall go before him, And set us in the way of his steps.
