< Amahubo 102 >
1 Nkosi, zwana umkhuleko wami, lokukhala kwami kakuze kuwe.
Umkhuleko womuntu okhathazekileyo. Lapho esephela umoya eseqhinqa isililo phambi kukaThixo. Zwana umkhuleko wami, Oh Thixo; ukukhala kwami ngicela uncedo kakufike kuwe.
2 Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho osukwini lohlupho lwami; beka indlebe yakho kimi; mhla ngibiza ungiphendule masinyane.
Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho nxa ngikhathazekile. Ngipha indlebe yakho; nxa ngibiza ngiphendula masinyane.
3 Ngoba insuku zami ziyanyamalala njengentuthu, lamathambo ami ayatsha njengeziko.
Ngoba insuku zami ziyanyamalala njengentuthu; amathambo ami ayavutha njengamalahle abhebhayo.
4 Inhliziyo yami itshayiwe, yabuna njengotshani, ngaze ngakhohlwa ukudla isinkwa sami.
Inhliziyo yami yonakele, ibunile njengotshani; ngiyakhohlwa ukudla kwami.
5 Ngenxa yelizwi lokububula kwami amathambo ami anamathela esikhumbeni sami.
Ngenxa yokububula kwami okukhulu sengiphelile, isikhumba sesinamathela emathanjeni.
6 Ngifanana lewunkwe yenkangala, senginjengesikhova sezindawo ezidilikileyo.
Sengifana lesikhova senkangala, njengesikhova semanxiweni.
7 Ngiyalinda, senginjengenyoni ehlezi yodwa ephahleni.
Ngilala ngikhangele; senginjengenyoni ehlezi yodwa ephahleni.
8 Izitha zami ziyangithuka usuku lonke; abangihlanyelayo bafunga ngami.
Ilanga lonke izitha zami ziyangichukuluza; labo abangichothozayo badlala ngebizo lami njengesethuko.
9 Ngoba ngidle umlotha njengesinkwa, ngixubanise okunathwayo kwami lezinyembezi,
Ngoba ngidla umlotha njengokudla kwami, ngixube okunathwayo kwami ngezinyembezi
10 ngenxa yentukuthelo yakho lolaka lwakho; ngoba ungiphakamisile, wasungilahla phansi.
ngenxa yokuthukuthela kwakho okukhulu, ngoba ungiqukule wangilahlela eceleni.
11 Insuku zami zinjengesithunzi eselulekayo, njalo mina ngiyabuna njengotshani.
Insuku zami zifana lesithunzi sakusihlwa; ngiyabuna njengotshani.
12 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uzahlala kuze kube nininini, lesikhumbuzo sakho kusizukulwana lesizukulwana.
Kodwa wena, Oh Thixo, uhlezi ebukhosini lanininini; udumo lwakho lumi ezizukulwaneni zonke.
13 Wena uzavuka uhawukele iZiyoni; ngoba isikhathi sokuyitshengisa umusa, yebo, isikhathi esimisiweyo sesifikile.
Uzaphakama uzwele iZiyoni isihawu, ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokutshengisa umusa kuyo, isikhathi esimisiweyo sesifikile.
14 Ngoba inceku zakho ziyawathanda amatshe ayo, zilesihawu ethulini lwayo.
Ngoba amatshe ayo aligugu ezincekwini zakho; othuli lwayo nje lubalethela usizi.
15 Khona izizwe zizalesaba ibizo leNkosi, lamakhosi wonke omhlaba udumo lwayo.
Izizwe zizalesaba ibizo likaThixo, wonke amakhosi omhlaba azahlonipha inkazimulo yakhe.
16 Lapho iNkosi izayakha iZiyoni, izabonakala enkazimulweni yayo.
Ngoba uThixo uzayakha kutsha iZiyoni avele enkazimulweni yakhe.
17 Izaphendukela emkhulekweni wongelalutho, kayiyikudelela umthandazo wabo.
Uzaphendula imikhuleko yabahluphekayo; kazukweyisa isicelo sabo.
18 Lokhu kuzabhalelwa isizukulwana esilandelayo, labantu abazadalwa bazadumisa iNkosi.
Lokhu kakulotshwe phansi kube ngokwesizukulwane sakusasa, ukuze abantu abangakadalwa bamdumise uThixo:
19 Ngoba yakhangela phansi isekuphakameni kwendawo yayo engcwele; iNkosi isemazulwini yakhangela emhlabeni,
“UThixo wakhangela phansi ephezulu endlini yakhe engcwele, esezulwini wawuhlola umhlaba,
20 ukuzwa ukububula kwesibotshwa, ukukhulula abamiselwa ukufa;
ukuze ezwe ukububula kwezibotshwa lokukhulula labo ababegwetshelwe ukufa.”
21 ukulandisa ibizo leNkosi eZiyoni, lendumiso yayo eJerusalema,
Ngalokho-ke ibizo likaThixo lizamenyezelwa eZiyoni lodumo lwakhe eJerusalema,
22 lapho izizwe zibuthana ndawonye, lemibuso, ukuyikhonza iNkosi.
lapha izizwe lemibuso sekuhlangana ndawonye ukukhonza uThixo.
23 Yathoba amandla ami endleleni, yafinyeza insuku zami.
Wawanciphisa amandla ami ngisaphila; waziphungula insuku zami.
24 Ngathi: Nkulunkulu wami, ungangisusi phakathi kwensuku zami, iminyaka yakho isesizukulwaneni lezizukulwana.
Yikho ngasengisithi, “Ungangithathi, Oh Nkulunkulu wami, ngilokhu ngisephakathi kwensuku zami; iminyaka yakho ihlala ikhona ezizukulwaneni zonke.
25 Endulo wawusekela umhlaba, lamazulu angumsebenzi wezandla zakho.
Ekuqaleni wabeka izisekelo zomhlaba, lamazulu angumsebenzi wezandla zakho.
26 Lokho kuzabhubha, kodwa wena uzakuma. Kuzaguga-ke konke njengesembatho, njengesigqoko uzakuguqula, njalo kuzaguqulwa.
Konke kuzabhubha, kodwa wena uzasala; konke kuzaguga njengesigqoko. Njengesivunulo uzakuguqula kucine sekulahlwa.
27 Kodwa wena unguwe njalo, leminyaka yakho kayipheli.
Kodwa wena uhlala unjalo, leminyaka yakho kayiyikuphela.
28 Abantwana benceku zakho bazahlala, lenzalo yazo izaqiniswa phambi kwakho.
Abantwana bezinceku zakho bazahlala besemehlweni akho; izizukulwane zazo zizaqiniswa phambi kwakho.”
