Amahubo 65
1 Ukulinda ngokuthula kuyindumiso kuwe, Nkulunkulu, eZiyoni, lesifungo sizagcwaliswa kuwe.
Tehilah ·Praise song· waits for you, God, in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking]. To you shall vows be performed.
2 Wena ozwa umkhuleko, yonke inyama izakuza kuwe.
You who sh'ma ·hear obey· prayer, to you all men will come.
3 Izinto zobubi zingehlule. Iziphambeko zethu, wena uzenzele inhlawulo yokuthula.
Sins and depravities (moral evils) overwhelmed me, but you atoned for our rebellious breaches of relationships.
4 Ubusisiwe omkhethayo, omsondezayo ukuthi ahlale emagumeni akho. Sizasutha ngokuhle kwendlu yakho, ithempeli lakho elingcwele.
Blessed is one whom you choose, and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.
5 Ngezinto ezesabekayo uzasiphendula, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwethu, themba lemikhawulo yonke yomhlaba, lelabakhatshana elwandle.
By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our yesha' ·salvation·. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea;
6 Omisa izintaba ngamandla akhe, ebhince amandla.
Who by his power forms the mountains, having armed yourself with strength;
7 Othulisa ukuduma kwezinlwandle, lenhlokomo yamagagasi azo, lokuxokozela kwabantu.
who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
8 Labakhileyo emikhawulweni bayesaba iziboniso zakho; wenza kuhlabele kuthokoze ukuphuma kokusa lokokuhlwa.
They also who dwell in far away places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning’s dawn and the evening with songs of joy.
9 Uyahambela umhlaba uwuthelele, uwuvundise kakhulu; umfula kaNkulunkulu ugcwele amanzi; uyabalungisela amabele, lapho uwulungisa ngokunjalo.
You visit the earth, and water it. You greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. You provide them grain, for so you have ordained it.
10 Uyathelela kakhulu imisele yawo, ulalise imigelo yawo, uyithambise ngezihlambo, ubusise ukumila kwawo.
You drench its furrows. You level its ridges. You soften it with showers. You bless it with a crop.
11 Uyethesa umnyaka ngomqhele wobuhle bakho; lemikhondo yakho ithonta amafutha.
You crown the year with your bounty. Your carts overflow with abundance.
12 Ithontela amadlelo eganga, lamaqaqa embethe intokozo.
The wilderness grasslands overflow. The hills are clothed with gladness.
13 Amadlelo embethe imihlambi, lezigodi zisitshekelwe ngamabele; kuyajabula kakhulu, njalo kuhlabele.
The pastures are covered with flocks. The valleys also are clothed with grain. They shout for joy! They also sing.
