< Amahubo 139 >
1 Nkosi, ungihlolile, uyangazi.
Ki he Takimuʻa, ko e Saame ʻa Tevita. ʻE Sihova, naʻa ke ʻahiʻahiʻi au, pea kuo ke ʻiloʻi au.
2 Wena uyakwazi ukuhlala kwami lokusukuma kwami; uyaqedisisa imicabango yami ukhatshana.
ʻOku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku nofo hifo mo ʻeku tuʻu hake, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo ʻoku kei mamaʻo.
3 Uyahlungula ukuhamba kwami lokulala kwami, uzejwayele indlela zami zonke.
ʻOku ke ʻāʻi hoku hala mo hoku tokotoʻanga, pea ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi hoku hala kotoa pē.
4 Ngoba kalikho ilizwi elimini lwami, khangela Nkosi, usulazi lonke.
He ʻoku ʻikai ha lea ʻi hoku ʻelelo, ka ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻoku ke ʻiloʻi kotoa pē.
5 Ungizingelezile emuva langaphambili, ubeke isandla sakho phezu kwami.
Naʻa ke kāpui au ʻi hoku tuʻa mo hoku ʻao, ʻo ke hilifaki ho nima kiate au.
6 Lolulwazi lumangalisa kakhulu kimi; luphakeme, kangilakho ukufinyelela kulo.
Ko e ʻilo pehē ʻoku fakaofo lahi kiate au; ʻoku māʻolunga ia, ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa lavaʻi ia.
7 Ngizakuya ngaphi ngisuke kuMoya wakho? Kumbe ngizabalekela ngaphi ngisuke ebusweni bakho?
Te u ʻalu ki fē mei ho Laumālie? Pe te u hola ki fē mei ho ʻao?
8 Uba ngisenyukela emazulwini, lapho ukhona; uba ngisendlala icansi lami esihogweni, khangela, ukhona. (Sheol )
Kapau te u ʻalu hake ki he loto langi, ʻoku ke ʻi ai: kapau te u ngaohi hoku mohenga ʻi heli, vakai, ʻoku ke ʻi ai. (Sheol )
9 Uba ngithatha amaphiko okusa, ngihlale emikhawulweni yolwandle,
Kapau te u toʻo mai ʻae ngaahi kapakau ʻoe pongipongi, pea nofo ʻi he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe tahi;
10 lalapho isandla sakho sizangikhokhela, lesokunene sakho singibambe.
ʻE tataki foki au ʻe ho nima ʻi ai, pea ko ho nima toʻomataʻu te ne puke au.
11 Uba ngisithi: Isibili umnyama uzangifihla, ngitsho ubusuku buzakuba yikukhanya kimi inhlangothi zonke.
Kapau te u pehē, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻufiʻufi au ʻe he poʻuli; ʻe hoko ʻae pō foki ko e maama ʻo takatakai ʻiate au.
12 Ngitsho umnyama kawufihli kuwe, kodwa ubusuku bukhanya njengemini; njengomnyama kunjalo ukukhanya kuwe.
ʻIo, ʻoku ʻikai fakafufū meiate koe ʻe he poʻuli, ka ʻoku malama ʻae pō ʻo hangē ko e ʻaho: ko e poʻuli mo e maama ʻoku na tatau pe kiate koe.
13 Ngoba wena ungumnini wezinso zami, wangeluka esiswini sikamama.
He kuo ke maʻu hoku kongaloto: naʻa ke ʻufiʻufi au ʻi he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē.
14 Ngizakudumisa, ngenxa yokuthi ngenziwe ngokwesabekayo, ngokumangalisayo. Imisebenzi yakho iyamangalisa; lomphefumulo wami uyakwazi kuhle kakhulu.
Te u fakamālō kiate koe; he ʻoku fakamanavahē mo fakaofo hoku ngaohi: ʻoku fakaofo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue; pea ʻoku ʻilo pau ki ai ʻe hoku laumālie.
15 Amathambo ami ayengafihlekanga kuwe, lapho ngangisenziwa ekusithekeni, ngenziwa ngobuciko ezindaweni ezizikileyo zomhlaba.
Naʻe ʻikai fufū ʻa hoku sino meiate koe, ʻi he ngaohi au ʻi he lilo, mo teuteu lelei au ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻulalo ʻoe fonua.
16 Amehlo akho abona ibumba lami; legwalweni lwakho zonke lezi zabhalwa, izinsuku okwabunjwa ngazo, kungakabikho lakunye kwakho.
Naʻe ʻafio ho fofonga ki hoku sino ʻoku teʻeki ai fakaʻosi; pea naʻe tohi ʻi hoʻo tohi hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu fakaholo, ʻi he teʻeki ai ha kupu ʻe taha.
17 Iligugu kangakanani-ke kimi imicabango yakho, O Nkulunkulu; bukhulu kangakanani ubunengi bayo!
ʻE ʻOtua, hono ʻikai mahuʻinga ʻa hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukau kiate au! ʻOku fēfē nai hono lahi ʻo ia!
18 Uba ngingayibala, minengi kuletshebetshebe. Lapho ngivuka, ngilokhu ngilawe.
Kapau te u lau ia, ʻoku lahi hake hono lau ʻi he ʻoneʻone: ʻo kau ka ʻā hake ʻoku ou kei ʻiate koe.
19 Isibili uzambulala omubi, Nkulunkulu! Ngakho lina bantu abomele igazi sukani kimi;
ʻE ʻOtua, ko e moʻoni te ke tāmateʻi ʻae angahala: ko ia mou ʻalu ʻiate au, ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau tangata pani toto.
20 abakhuluma ngenkohliso ngawe, ziphatha ngeze ibizo lakho, izitha zakho.
He ʻoku nau lea kovi ʻi he angatuʻu kiate koe, pea ko ho ngaahi fili ʻoku nau takuanoa [ho huafa].
21 Kangibazondi yini, Nkosi, abakuzondayo, nginengwe ngabakuvukelayo?
ʻE Sihova, ʻikai ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fehiʻa kiate koe? Pea ʻikai ʻoku ou mamahi ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau tuʻu hake ʻo angatuʻu kiate koe?
22 Ngiyabazonda ngenzondo epheleleyo; sebeyizitha kimi.
ʻOku ou fehiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae fehiʻa ʻaupito: ʻoku ou lau ʻakinautolu ko hoku ngaahi fili.
23 Ngihlola, Nkulunkulu, uyazi inhliziyo yami; ngilinga, uyazi imicabango yami,
ʻE ʻOtua, ʻafioʻi au, pea ke ʻiloʻi hoku loto: ʻahiʻahiʻi au, mo ke ʻiloʻi ʻeku ngaahi mahalo:
24 ubone ukuthi ikhona indlela embi kimi yini, ungikhokhele endleleni ephakade.
Pea ke vakai pe ʻoku ai ha hala kovi ʻiate au, pea ke tataki au ʻi he hala taʻengata.
