Amahubo 143
1 Nkosi, zwana umkhuleko wami, ubeke indlebe ekuncengeni kwami. Ungiphendule ngothembeko lwakho, ngokulunga kwakho.
The salm of Dauid. Lord, here thou my preier, with eeris perseyue thou my biseching; in thi treuthe here thou me, in thi riytwisnesse.
2 Njalo ungangeni kusahlulelo lenceku yakho, ngoba phambi kobuso bakho kakho ophilayo ozalungisiswa.
And entre thou not in to dom with thi seruaunt; for ech man lyuynge schal not be maad iust in thi siyt.
3 Ngoba isitha sizingele umphefumulo wami, sacindezelela impilo yami emhlabathini, sangenza ngahlala emnyameni omkhulu, njengabakade bafa.
For the enemy pursuede my soule; he made lowe my lijf in erthe. He hath set me in derk placis, as the deed men of the world,
4 Ngakho umoya wami uphela amandla phakathi kwami, lenhliziyo yami ithithibele phakathi kwami.
and my spirit was angwischid on me; myn herte was disturblid in me.
5 Ngikhumbula insuku zekadeni, ngizindla ngazo zonke izenzo zakho, nginakane ngomsebenzi wezandla zakho.
I was myndeful of elde daies, Y bithouyte in alle thi werkis; Y bithouyte in the dedis of thin hondis.
6 Ngelulela izandla zami kuwe; umphefumulo wami womele wena njengomhlaba owomileyo. (Sela)
I helde forth myn hondis to thee; my soule as erthe with out water to thee.
7 Phangisa ungiphendule, Nkosi; umoya wami uyaphela. Ungangifihleli ubuso bakho, hlezi ngibe njengalabo abehlela emgodini.
Lord, here thou me swiftli; my spirit failide. Turne thou not a wei thi face fro me; and Y schal be lijk to hem that gon doun in to the lake.
8 Ngizwisa uthandolomusa wakho ekuseni, ngoba ngiyathemba kuwe. Ungazise indlela engingahamba ngayo, ngoba ngiyaphakamisela kuwe umphefumulo wami.
Make thou erli thi merci herd to me; for Y hopide in thee. Make thou knowun to me the weie in which Y schal go; for Y reiside my soule to thee.
9 Ngikhulula ezitheni zami, Nkosi; ngizifihlile kuwe.
Delyuere thou me fro myn enemyes, Lord, Y fledde to thee;
10 Ngifundisa ukwenza intando yakho, ngoba wena unguNkulunkulu wami. UMoya wakho muhle, ngikhokhelele elizweni lokuqonda.
teche thou me to do thi wille, for thou art my God. Thi good spirit schal lede me forth in to a riytful lond;
11 Ngenxa yebizo lakho, Nkosi, ngiphilisa. Ngokulunga kwakho khupha umphefumulo wami ekuhluphekeni.
Lord, for thi name thou schalt quikene me in thin equite. Thou schalt lede my soule out of tribulacioun;
12 Langomusa wakho chitha izitha zami, ubhubhise bonke abahlupha umphefumulo wami, ngoba ngiyinceku yakho.
and in thi merci thou schalt scatere alle myn enemyes. And thou schalt leese alle them, that troublen my soule; for Y am thi seruaunt.
