Amahubo 124

1 Uba kwakungesiNkosi eyayilathi, katsho-ke uIsrayeli;

[the] song of The ascents of David if not Yahweh who was for us let it say please Israel.

2 uba kwakungesiNkosi eyayilathi, lapho abantu besivukela,

If not Yahweh who was for us when rose up on us anyone.

3 ngabe basiginya siphila, ekuvutheni kolaka lwabo kithi;

Then alive they had swallowed up us when burned anger their on us.

4 ngabe amanzi agijima phezu kwethu, lempophoma yedlula phezu komphefumulo wethu;

Then the waters they had overflowed us a torrent it had passed over self our.

5 ngabe amanzi aqubukayo edlula phezu komphefumulo wethu.

Then it had passed over self our the waters raging.

6 Kayibongwe iNkosi, engasinikelanga ukuthi sibe yimpango emazinyweni abo.

[be] blessed Yahweh who not he has given us prey to teeth their.

7 Umphefumulo wethu uphunyukile njengenyoni emjibileni wabathiyi; umjibila uqamukile, thina sasesiphunyuka.

Self our like a bird it has escaped from a snare of fowlers the snare [has been] broken and we we have escaped.

8 Usizo lwethu lusebizweni leNkosi eyenza amazulu lomhlaba.

Help our [is] in [the] name of Yahweh maker of heaven and earth.
