< Amahubo 7 >
1 Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, ngiyathembela kuwe; ngisindisa kubo bonke abangizingelayo, ungikhulule.
For the ignoraunce of Dauid, which he songe to the Lord on the wordis of Ethiopien, the sone of Gemyny. Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro alle that pursuen me, and delyuere thou me.
2 Hlezi adabule umphefumulo wami njengesilwane, edabudabula, kungekho okhululayo.
Lest ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the while noon is that ayenbieth, nether that makith saaf.
3 Nkosi, Nkulunkulu wami, uba ngikwenzile lokhu, uba kukhona okubi ezandleni zami,
Mi Lord God, if Y dide this thing, if wickidnesse is in myn hondis;
4 uba ngiphindisele okubi kosekuthuleni lami (kuphela ngaphanga oyisitha sami ngaphandle kwesizatho),
if Y `yeldide to men yeldynge to me yuels, falle Y `bi disseruyng voide fro myn enemyes;
5 isitha kasizingele umphefumulo wami, siwufice, siyinyathelele impilo yami emhlabathini, senze udumo lwami luhlale ethulini. (Sela)
myn enemy pursue my soule, and take, and defoule my lijf in erthe; and brynge my glorie in to dust.
6 Vuka, Nkosi, ngolaka lwakho, ziphakamise ngenxa yentukuthelo yezitha zami; vuka ungimele; ulayile isahlulelo.
Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire; and be thou reysid in the coostis of myn enemyes.
7 Ngakho inhlangano yezizwe izakuhanqa; buya ngaphezulu phezu kwayo.
And, my Lord God, rise thou in the comaundement, which thou `hast comaundid; and the synagoge of puplis schal cumpasse thee.
8 INkosi izakwahlulela izizwe. Ngahlulela, Nkosi, njengokulunga kwami lanjengobuqotho bami obukimi.
And for this go thou ayen an hiy; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi myn innocence on me.
9 Ake buphele ububi bababi, kodwa umqinise olungileyo, ngoba ohlola inhliziyo lezinso nguNkulunkulu olungileyo.
The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis and reynes, schalt dresse a iust man.
10 Isihlangu sami sikuNkulunkulu osindisa abaqotho enhliziyweni.
Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riytful men in herte.
11 UNkulunkulu ngumahluleli olungileyo, njalo nguNkulunkulu othukuthelela omubi insuku zonke.
The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether he is wrooth bi alle daies?
12 Uba engaphenduki, uzalola inkemba yakhe; useligobile idandili lakhe walilungisa.
If ye ben `not conuertid, he schal florische his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi.
13 Usemlungisele izikhali zokufa, wenzela abazingeli imitshoko yakhe etshisayo.
And therynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis.
14 Khangela, uhelelwa ngobubi, akhulelwe yikona, azale amanga.
Lo! he conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouyte forth vnriytfulnesse, and childide wickidnesse.
15 Agebhe umgodi awugubhe, abesewela egodini alenzileyo.
He openide a lake, and diggide it out; and he felde in to the dich which he made.
16 Ububi bakhe buzabuyela phezu kwekhanda lakhe, lodlame lwakhe lwehlele enkanda yakhe.
His sorewe schal be turned in to his heed; and his wickidnesse schal come doun in to his necke.
17 Ngizayidumisa iNkosi njengokulunga kwayo, ngihlabelele ibizo leNkosi ephezu konke.
I schal knouleche to the Lord bi his riytfulnesse; and Y schal synge to the name of the hiyeste Lord.
