Zaburi 129

1 “Mara nyingi tangu ujana wangu wamekuwa wakinishambulia,” Israeli na iseme.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Sebengihluphe kakhulu kusukela ebutsheni bami katsho njalo u-Israyeli,

2 “Mara nyingi tangu ujana wangu wamekuwa wakinishambulia, lakini hawajanishinda.

sebengihluphe kakhulu kusukela ebutsheni bami, kodwa kabangehlulanga.

3 Wakulima wamekuwa wakilima mgonngoni kwangu; wametengeneza matuta yao marefu.

Abalimi bawulimile umhlane wami benza imifolo emide.

4 Yahwe ni mwenye haki; amezikata kamba za waovu.”

Kodwa uThixo ulungile; ungikhulule ezintanjeni zababi.

5 Wote waaibishwe na kurudishwa nyuma, wale wachukiao Sayuni.

Akuthi bonke abayizondayo iZiyoni babuyiselwe emuva beyangekile.

6 Na wawe kama nyasi juu ya paa ambayo hunyauka kabla hayajakua,

Sengathi bangaba njengotshani obukhula ephahleni obubuna bungakakhuli;

7 ambayo hayawezi kujaza mkono wa mvunaji wala kifua cha mfunga miganda.

umvuni angeke agcwalisa isandla sakhe ngabo, loba lowo obuthayo agcwalise izingalo zakhe.

8 Wale wapitao karibu wasiseme, “Baraka za Mungu na ziwe juu yako; Tunakubariki katika jina la Yahwe.”

Sengathi labo abadlulayo bangabokuthi, “Izibusiso zikaThixo mazibe kuwe; siyakubusisa ngegama likaThixo.”
