Amahubo 30
1 Ngizakuphakamisa, Nkosi, ngoba ungenyusile, njalo kawuthokozisanga izitha zami ngami.
A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; [a Psalm] of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast raised me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngakhalela kuwe, wangisilisa.
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 Nkosi, uwukhuphulile umphefumulo wami engcwabeni, ungigcinile ngiphila, ukuze ngingehleli emgodini. (Sheol h7585)
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Hlabelelani eNkosini, lina bangcwele bayo, libonge ekukhunjulweni kobungcwele bayo.
Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks to his holy name.
5 Ngoba ukuthukuthela kwayo kungokwesikhatshana, impilo isemuseni wayo. Ukulila kungahlala kusihlwa, kanti ekuseni kulentokozo.
For his anger is but for a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may tarry for the night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.
6 Mina-ke ngathi ekuphumeleleni kwami: Kangiyikunyikinywa laphakade.
As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
7 Nkosi, ngomusa wakho wenzile intaba yami iqine; wabufihla ubuso bakho, ngahlupheka.
Thou, LORD, of thy favour hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
8 Ngakhala kuwe, Nkosi; ngancenga eNkosini.
I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication:
9 Kulenzuzo bani egazini lami ekutshoneni kwami emgodini? Uthuli luzakudumisa na? Luzatshumayela iqiniso lakho yini?
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Zwana, Nkosi, ube lomusa kimi; Nkosi, woba ngumsizi wami.
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11 Uphendule ukukhala kwami kwaba yikusina; ukhuphile isaka lami, wangibhincisa intokozo,
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness:
12 ukuze udumo lwami luhlabele indumiso kuwe, lungathuli; Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga kuze kube nininini.
To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
