Amahubo 30
1 Ngizakuphakamisa, Nkosi, ngoba ungenyusile, njalo kawuthokozisanga izitha zami ngami.
A psalm; a song at the dedication of the temple. A psalm of David. I will exalt you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up and have not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Nkosi Nkulunkulu wami, ngakhalela kuwe, wangisilisa.
Yahweh my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.
3 Nkosi, uwukhuphulile umphefumulo wami engcwabeni, ungigcinile ngiphila, ukuze ngingehleli emgodini. (Sheol h7585)
Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you have kept me alive from going down to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 Hlabelelani eNkosini, lina bangcwele bayo, libonge ekukhunjulweni kobungcwele bayo.
Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful people! Give thanks when you remember his holiness.
5 Ngoba ukuthukuthela kwayo kungokwesikhatshana, impilo isemuseni wayo. Ukulila kungahlala kusihlwa, kanti ekuseni kulentokozo.
For his anger is only for a moment; but his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping comes for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Mina-ke ngathi ekuphumeleleni kwami: Kangiyikunyikinywa laphakade.
In confidence I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7 Nkosi, ngomusa wakho wenzile intaba yami iqine; wabufihla ubuso bakho, ngahlupheka.
Yahweh, by your favor you established me as a strong mountain; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 Ngakhala kuwe, Nkosi; ngancenga eNkosini.
I cried to you, Yahweh, and sought favor from my Lord!
9 Kulenzuzo bani egazini lami ekutshoneni kwami emgodini? Uthuli luzakudumisa na? Luzatshumayela iqiniso lakho yini?
What advantage is there in my death, if I go down to the grave? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your trustworthiness?
10 Zwana, Nkosi, ube lomusa kimi; Nkosi, woba ngumsizi wami.
Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me! Yahweh, be my helper.
11 Uphendule ukukhala kwami kwaba yikusina; ukhuphile isaka lami, wangibhincisa intokozo,
You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.
12 ukuze udumo lwami luhlabele indumiso kuwe, lungathuli; Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ngizakubonga kuze kube nininini.
So now my glory will sing praise to you and not be silent; Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
