Amahubo 78
1 Lalelani, bantu bami, umthetho wami, libeke indlebe yenu emazwini omlomo wami.
Nkunga Asafi. A batu bama, wanu malongi mama! Dimbanu mambu ma munu ama.
2 Ngizavula umlomo wami ngomfanekiso, ngikhuphe izimfihlakalo zendulo,
Ndiela zibula munu ama mu tuba zingana ayi ndiela samuna mambu ma suama, mambu makhulu;
3 esizizwileyo lesizaziyo, obaba abasitshela zona.
momo tuwa ayi momo tuzaba ayi momo bakulu beto batukamba;
4 Kasiyikuzifihlela abantwana babo, kusizukulwana esilandelayo, silandisa izindumiso zeNkosi, lamandla ayo, lezimangaliso ezenzileyo.
Tulendi masuekila ko bana bawu; tuela samuna kuidi tsungi yinkuiza mavanga ma Yave mafueti zitusu, lulendo luandi ayi matsiminanga momo kavanga.
5 Ngoba wamisa ubufakazi koJakobe, wabeka umlayo koIsrayeli, awulaya obaba, ukuze bawazise abantwana babo,
Wuvana zithumunu mu diambu di Yakobi. Wukubika Mina mu Iseli, ayi wutumina bakulu beto muingi bamilonga kuidi bana bawu;
6 ukuze isizukulwana esilandelayo sazi, abantwana abazazalwa, basukume batshele abantwana babo,
buna tsungi yinkuiza, yela zaba mawu buela bana bobo babutuki ko ayi bawu mamvawu mu thangu awu bela yolukila bana bawu;
7 ukuze babeke ithemba labo kuNkulunkulu, bangayikhohlwa imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bagcine imithetho yakhe;
buna bela tula diana diawu mu Nzambi, ayi balendi zimbakana mavanga mandi ko, vayi bela keba zithumunu ziandi;
8 njalo bangabi njengaboyise, isizukulwana esilenkani lesivukelayo, isizukulwana esingaqondisanga inhliziyo yaso, lesimoya waso ungathembekanga kuNkulunkulu.
Balendi ba banga bakulu bawu ko; tsungi yikambulu bulemvo, ayi tsungi yi matingu; bobo mintima misia ba mifuana ko kuidi Nzambi bobo pheve yisia yikuikama kuidi Nzambi ko.
9 Abantwana bakoEfrayimi, behlomile betshoka ngamadandili, babuyela emuva mhla wempi.
Batu ba Efalayimi bobo baba ayi mimbasa, bavutuka ku mbusa mu lumbu ki mvita.
10 Kabasilondolozanga isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, bala ukuhamba emlayweni wakhe.
Basi keba ko Nguizani yi Nzambi, ayi bamanga zingila boso buididi Mina miandi.
11 Bakhohlwa izenzo zakhe lezimangaliso zakhe ayebatshengisa zona.
Bazimbakana momo kavanga; matsiminanga momo kabamonisa.
12 Phambi kwaboyise wenza isimangaliso elizweni leGibhithe, egangeni leZowani.
Wuvanga bikumu va ntuala bakulu bawu mu tsi yi Ezipite; mu zunga ki Tsowani.
13 Waqhekeza ulwandle, wabachaphisa, wenza amanzi ema njengenqumbi.
Wuvasa mbu ayi wuba viokila muawu; wutelimisa nlangu dio ngui banga baka.
14 Wabakhokhela ngeyezi emini, lebusuku bonke ngokukhanya komlilo.
Wuba diatisa mu dituti va muini, ayi mu kiezila ki mbazu va builu bu mvimba.
15 Waqhekeza amadwala enkangala, wabanathisa kungathi kuvela ezinzikini ezinkulu.
Wubasa matadi mu dikanga, ayi wuba vana nlangu wuwombo banga mbu;
16 Waseveza izifula edwaleni, wenza amanzi ehla njengemifula.
Wutotula mimvuila minlangu mu ditadi ayi wukumbisa minlangu banga minlangu minneni.
17 Kodwa baphinda futhi ukona kuye, ngokumvukela oPhezukonke enkangala.
Vayi babuela tatamana sumuka diaka va ntualꞌandi; batinguna Nzambi Yizangama mu dikanga.
18 Bamlinga uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yabo ngokucela ukudla kwenkanuko yabo.
Batota Nzambi mu luzolo lungolo, mu lombanga mu kingolo bidia biobi batomba.
19 Basebekhuluma bemelene loNkulunkulu bathi: UNkulunkulu angalungisa itafula enkangala yini?
Batubidila Nzambi batuba: “Nzambi beki kuandi bu kubikila meza mu dikanga e?
20 Khangela, watshaya idwala, kwampompoza amanzi, lezifula zagabha; anganika lesinkwa yini? angalungisela abantu bakhe inyama na?
Bu kabula ditadi dingolo, mbadi nlangu wutotuka ayi mimvuila mikumba mu buwombo vayi buna wulendi kuandi kutuvana bidia e? Wulendi kuandi kubika zimbizi mu diambu di batu bandi e?”
21 Ngakho iNkosi yezwa yathukuthela; umlilo wasubaselwa uJakobe, njalo lolaka lwavukela uIsrayeli,
Yave bu kaba wa, wufuema ngolo, mbazu andi yilema mu diambu di Yakobi ayi miangu miandi mibuila Iseli.
22 ngoba kabakholwanga kuNkulunkulu, kabathembanga esindisweni lwakhe.
Bila basia wilukila Nzambi ko, voti basia tula diana diawu mu khudulu andi ko.
23 Lanxa walaya amayezi ngaphezulu, wavula iminyango yamazulu,
Muaki wuvana lutumunu kuidi matuti ma yilu ayi wuzibula mielo mi diyilu;
24 wabanisela imana ukuthi badle, wabapha amabele amazulu.
Wunokisa mana mu diambu di batu muingi badia; wuba vana zitheti zi diyilu.
25 Umuntu wadla isinkwa sabalamandla; wabathumela ukudla ukuze basuthe.
Batu badia dipha di zimbasi; wuba fidisila bidia bioso biobi balenda dia.
26 Wenza umoya wempumalanga wavunguza emazulwini; langamandla akhe waqhuba umoya weningizimu.
Wuvevumuna phemo yi Esite mu diyilu. Wudiata ku ntuala phemo yi Sude mu lulendo luandi.
27 Wasenisela phezu kwabo inyama njengothuli, lenyoni ezilempiko njengetshebetshebe lolwandle;
Wuba nokisila zimbizi banga mbungi-mbungi; zinuni zieti dumuka banga nzielo yi mbu.
28 wazenza zawela phakathi kwenkamba yabo, zagombolozela indawo zabo zokuhlala.
Wuba buisila biawu va khatitsika ka kiawu; muyenda zinzo ziawu zioso zingoto.
29 Ngakho badla basutha kakhulu, ngoba wabalethela isiloyiso sabo.
Badia nate bayukuta kuwombo; ayi wuba vana biobi baleba mu kingolo.
30 Kabehlukananga lenkanuko yabo; ukudla kusesemlonyeni wabo,
Tuamina batamba bidia biobi baleba mu kingolo mbusa, buela bikidi mu miunu miawu.
31 ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwaselubavukela, wabulala kwabakhulupheleyo babo, watshaya abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli.
Nganzi yi Nzambi yi babuila; wuvonda bobo baluta ba zinitu zingolo mu bawu; wuvonda bana ba matoko ma Iseli.
32 Kulokhu konke bajinga besona, njalo kabakholwanga ngenxa yezimangaliso zakhe.
Ka diambu ko mambu moso momo, batatamana vola masumu ka diambu ko matsiminanga mandi, basia wilukila ko.
33 Ngakho waziqeda izinsuku zabo ngeze, leminyaka yabo ovalweni.
Buna wumanisa bilumbu biawu mu phamba ayi mimvu miawu mu tsisi.
34 Lapho ebabulala, bamdinga, baphenduka, bamdingisisa uNkulunkulu.
Kadika khumbu kaba kuba vondanga, tombanga baba kuntombanga, balukanga nsualu-nsualu diaka kuidi niandi.
35 Bakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulidwala labo, loNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ungumhlengi wabo.
Batebuka moyo ti Nzambi niandi wuba dibanga diawu ayi Nzambi Yizangama niandi nkudi awu.
36 Kodwa bamyenga ngomlomo wabo, baqamba amanga kuye ngolimi lwabo.
Vayi buna bankamba mambu ma lueki mu miunu miawu bamvuna mu ludimi luawu.
37 Ngoba inhliziyo yabo yayingaqondanga kuye, njalo bengathembekanga esivumelwaneni sakhe.
Mintima miawu misia ba mifuana kuidi niandi ko basia ba bakuikama ko mu Nguizani andi.
38 Kodwa yena elesihawu wathethelela ububi babo, kababhubhisanga; yebo, kanengi walunqanda ulaka lwakhe, kakuvusanga konke ukuthukuthela kwakhe.
Vayi niandi wuba nkua kiadi wuba lemvukila mambimbi mawu kasia babunga ko thangu ka thangu wudekula nganzi andi ayi kasia totula ko miangu miandi mioso.
39 Ngoba wakhumbula ukuthi bayinyama, umoya odlulayo, ongabuyiyo.
Wutebuka moyo ti baba minsuni kaka; phemo yeti vioka yoyi yilendi vutuka ko. Ayi wulendi buela vutuka ko.
40 Kanengi kangakanani bemvukela ehlane, bemdabukisa enkangala.
Zikhumbu ziwombo bantingunina mu dikanga, ayi bansoka mu bibuangu bikambulu batu.
41 Yebo baphenduka bamlinga uNkulunkulu, bamdabukisa oNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
Khumbu ka khumbu baba vutukilanga diaka tota Nzambi; bafuemisa mutu wunlongo wu Iseli kiadi.
42 Kabasikhumbulanga isandla sakhe, usuku abahlenga ngalo esitheni.
Basia tebukila ko moyo lulendo luandi mu lumbu kioki kaba kula mu mioko mi mutu wuba yamisa;
43 Ukuthi wamisa njani izibonakaliso zakhe eGibhithe, lezimangaliso zakhe emmangweni weZowani,
mu lumbu kamonisa bidimbu bi bikumu biandi mu Ezipite, mambu mandi matsiminanga mu ndambu tsi yi Tsowani
44 lokuthi waphendula imifula yabo yaba ligazi, lezifula zabo, ukuze banganathi.
wukitula minlangu miawu menga; basia buela baka bumina mu mimvuila mi minlangu miawu.
45 Wathumela phakathi kwabo umtshitshi wezibawu, ezabadlayo, lamaxoxo ababhubhisayo.
Wufidisa nkangu zinzinzi ziozi zibadia ayi zinguanga ziozi zi babunga.
46 Wasenika imihogoyi isivuno sabo, lomsebenzi wabo isikhonyane.
Wavana mimbutu miawu mu zitsola kuidi binzienzi biobi basala kuidi makhoko.
47 Wabulala ivini labo ngesiqhotho, lemikhiwa yabo yesikhamore ngongqwaqwane.
Wumana bunga zindima ziawu zi vinu mu mvula yi matadi ayi minti miawu mi sikomole mu kiozi ki ngolo,
48 Wasenikela izifuyo zabo esiqhothweni, lemihlambi yabo kuyo imibane.
wuyekula bibulu biawu kuidi mvula yi matadi ayi minkangu mi mamemi mawu kuidi lusiemo.
49 Waphosela phezu kwabo ukuvutha kolaka lwakhe, ukuthukuthela, lokucunuka, lokuhlupheka, ngokuthuma izithunywa zobubi.
Wuba fidisila nganzi andi yi mbazu, miangu miandi mi ngolo khakumusu, kimbeni weti bunga
50 Walungisela ulaka lwakhe indlela, kanqandanga umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, kodwa wanikela impilo yabo kumatshayabhuqe wesifo.
Wukubika nsolo mu diambu di nganzi andi kasia kuba tanina ko mu lufua; vayi wuba yekula mu minsongo;
51 Wasetshaya wonke amazibulo eGibhithe, okokuqala kwamandla emathenteni kaHamu.
Wuvonda bana boso batheti bababakala ba Ezipiti mimbutu mitheti mi zingolo mu zinzo zi ngoto zi Hami.
52 Wasebakhupha abantu bakhe njengezimvu, wabakhokhela enkangala njengomhlambi.
Vayi wutotula batu bandi banga mamemi; wuba tuadisa banga nkangu wu bibulu mu dikanga.
53 Wasebakhokhela bephephile ukuze bangesabi; kodwa ulwandle lwasibekela izitha zabo.
Wuba diatisila mu luvovomo; diawu basia mona tsisi ko ayi mbu wumina bambeni ziawu.
54 Wasebafikisa emkhawulweni wendawo yakhe engcwele, le intaba, isandla sakhe sokunene esayizuzayo.
Buna wuba kotisa mu yenda tsi andi yinlongo; ku tsi yi mongo wowo koko kuandi ku lubakala kukibakila.
55 Wasebaxotsha abezizwe phambi kwabo; wababela ilifa ngomzila, wahlalisa izizwe zakoIsrayeli emathenteni azo.
Wukuka makanda ku ntualꞌawu; ayi wuba kabudila mintoto miawu banga kiuka wuvuandisa makanda ma Iseli mu zinzo ziawu.
56 Kanti bamlinga, bamvukela uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, kabazigcinanga izifakazelo zakhe.
Vayi batota Nzambi ayi batinguna Nzambi Yizangama; basia keba zinzengolo ziandi ko.
57 Kodwa babuyela emuva, benza ngokungathembeki njengaboyise, baphanjulwa njengedandili elikhohlisayo.
Banga madisa mawu basia ba bafuana ko ayi basia ba minu ko balendi tudulu diana ko banga wuvenga.
58 Ngoba bamthukuthelisa ngezindawo zabo eziphakemeyo, bavusa umona wakhe ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo.
Bamfuemisa mu bibuangu biawu bizangama balemisa kiphala kiandi mu bitumba biawu
59 UNkulunkulu esizwa wathukuthela, wamenyanya kakhulu uIsrayeli.
Nzambi bu kawa, buna wufuema ngolo wutumbu loza mvimba Iseli.
60 Ngakho walitshiya ithabhanekele leShilo, ithente alimisa phakathi kwabantu.
Wuyekula, nzo ngoto mbuabununu yi Silo; nzo yoyo mu kakivuandisa;
61 Wasenikela amandla akhe ekuthunjweni, lenkazimulo yakhe esandleni sesitha.
Wufidisa kesi yi lulendo luandi mu buvika, ayi kiezila kiandi mu mioko mi mbeni.
62 Wasenikela abantu bakhe enkembeni, waselithukuthelela ilifa lakhe.
Wuyekula batu bandi mu sabala, wufuemina ngolo kiuka kiandi.
63 Umlilo waqeda amajaha abo, lezintombi zabo kazihlatshelelwanga.
Mbazu yi zinisa bamatoko mawu, ayi bandumba ziawu ziozi zisia zaba babakala ko zisia baka ko minkunga mi makuela ko.
64 Abapristi babo bawa ngenkemba, labafelokazi babo kabalilanga.
Zinganga ziawu zinzambi zimana fuila mu sabala ayi mafuola mawu masia baka bu didila ko.
65 Khona iNkosi yavuka njengobelele, njengeqhawe eliklabalala ngenxa yewayini.
Buna Yave wukotuka banga mutu wuba wuleka, banga mutu kotukidi mu diambu di vinu kakololo.
66 Yazitshaya izitha zayo emuva, yazithela ihlazo phakade.
Wuvutula bambeni bandi ku manima; wuzifuisa zitsoni ka zisukanga ko.
67 Yasilahla ithente likaJosefa, kayikhethanga isizwe sakoEfrayimi.
Buna wuloza zinzo zi ngoto zi Zozefi, kasia sobula ko dikanda di Efalayimi;
68 Kodwa yakhetha isizwe sakoJuda, intaba yeZiyoni eyithandayo.
Vayi wusobula dikanda di Yuda, mongo wu Sioni, wowo kazola.
69 Yayakha indlu yayo engcwele njengezingqonga, njengomhlaba ewusekeleyo kuze kube nininini.
Wutunga buangu kiandi kinlongo banga bibuangu bizangama, banga ntoto wowo kakubika mu zithangu zioso zi kazimani.
70 Yasikhetha uDavida inceku yayo, yamthatha ezibayeni zezimvu;
Wusobula Davidi kisadi kiandi ayi wumbonga mu ziphangu zi mamemi,
71 ekulandeleni izimvukazi ezenyisayo, yamletha ukwelusa uJakobe abantu bayo, loIsrayeli ilifa layo.
Wumbongila vana vaba mamemi momo kaba sunga mu diambu di kaba nsungi wu batu bandi Yakobi, wu Iseli kiuka kiandi.
72 Njalo wabelusa njengobuqotho benhliziyo yakhe, wabakhokhela ngobugabazi bezandla zakhe.
Buna Davidi wuba nsungi awu mu ntima wufuana ayi wuba diatisila mu koko ku diela.
