Amahubo 65
1 Ukulinda ngokuthula kuyindumiso kuwe, Nkulunkulu, eZiyoni, lesifungo sizagcwaliswa kuwe.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee, silence — praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow completed.
2 Wena ozwa umkhuleko, yonke inyama izakuza kuwe.
Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh.
3 Izinto zobubi zingehlule. Iziphambeko zethu, wena uzenzele inhlawulo yokuthula.
Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our transgressions — Thou dost cover them.
4 Ubusisiwe omkhethayo, omsondezayo ukuthi ahlale emagumeni akho. Sizasutha ngokuhle kwendlu yakho, ithempeli lakho elingcwele.
O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple.
5 Ngezinto ezesabekayo uzasiphendula, Nkulunkulu wosindiso lwethu, themba lemikhawulo yonke yomhlaba, lelabakhatshana elwandle.
By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.
6 Omisa izintaba ngamandla akhe, ebhince amandla.
Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded with might,
7 Othulisa ukuduma kwezinlwandle, lenhlokomo yamagagasi azo, lokuxokozela kwabantu.
Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows, And the multitude of the peoples.
8 Labakhileyo emikhawulweni bayesaba iziboniso zakho; wenza kuhlabele kuthokoze ukuphuma kokusa lokokuhlwa.
And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest to sing.
9 Uyahambela umhlaba uwuthelele, uwuvundise kakhulu; umfula kaNkulunkulu ugcwele amanzi; uyabalungisela amabele, lapho uwulungisa ngokunjalo.
Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it,
10 Uyathelela kakhulu imisele yawo, ulalise imigelo yawo, uyithambise ngezihlambo, ubusise ukumila kwawo.
Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou blessest.
11 Uyethesa umnyaka ngomqhele wobuhle bakho; lemikhondo yakho ithonta amafutha.
Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths drop fatness.
12 Ithontela amadlelo eganga, lamaqaqa embethe intokozo.
Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the heights Thou girdest on.
13 Amadlelo embethe imihlambi, lezigodi zisitshekelwe ngamabele; kuyajabula kakhulu, njalo kuhlabele.
Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with corn, They shout — yea, they sing!
