Zaburi 35
1 Yahwe, uwashughulikie wale wanao nishughulikia mimi; upigane nao wanao pigana nami.
ElikaDavida. Xabana labo, Thixo abaxabana lami; lwana labo abalwa lami.
2 Uikamate ngao yako ndogo na ngao kubwa; inuka unisaidie.
Thatha isihlangu lewisa; phakama uzongilamulela.
3 Uutumie mkuki wako na shoka lako la vita kwa wale wanao nifukuzia; uuambie moyo wangu, “Mimi ni wokovu wako.”
Phakamisa umkhonto lesijula, ukuqondise kwabangihlaselayo. Ngitshela ukuthi, “Ngiyikusindiswa kwakho.”
4 Waaibishwe na kudharauliwa wale wanaoutafuta uhai wangu. Warudishwe nyuma na wafedheheshwe wanao panga kunidhuru.
Sengathi labo abazingela impilo yami bangayangiswa bathelwe ngehlazo; sengathi labo abazama ukungidiliza bangabuyiselwa emuva bedumazekile.
5 Wao wawe makapi mbele ya upepo, malaika wakiwafutilia mbali.
Sengathi bangaba njengamakhoba emoyeni, ingilosi kaThixo ibe ibadudula ibaxotsha;
6 Njia yao na iwe giza na utelezi, malaika wa Yahwe wakiwafukuzia.
sengathi indlela yabo ingaba mnyama itshelele, ingilosi kaThixo ibe ibahlezi ezithendeni.
7 Wamenitegea mtego bila sababu; bila sababu wamechimba shimo kwa ajili ya uhai wangu.
Ngoba bangithiya ngamambule abo ngingonanga lutho, baphinda bangembela umgodi kungelasizatho,
8 Uharibifu na uwapate wao kwa kushitukiza. Mtego ambao wameutega na uwanase wao. Na wadumbukie humo, ili kwamba waangamizwe.
sengathi bangadilizwa belibele lawomambule abawathiyileyo abahilele, sengathi bangawela kulowomgodi babhidlizwe.
9 Bali mimi nitakuwa nafuraha ndani ya Yahwe na ndani ya wokovu wake.
Lapho-ke umoya wami uzathokoza kuThixo ujabule ekusindiseni Kwakhe.
10 Mifupa yangu yote itasema, “Yahwe, ni nani kama wewe, uokoaye walio onewa mkononi mwa walio na nguvu kuwazidi wao na masikini na wahitaji mkononi mwa wale wanaojaribu kuwaibia?”
Mina qobo lwami ngizamemeza ngithi, “Ngubani onjengawe, Oh Thixo? Uyabakhulula abahluphekayo kulabo abalamandla kulabo, abahluphekayo labaswelayo kulabo ababantshontshelayo.”
11 Mashahidi wa uongo wamesimama; wananishitakia uongo.
Ofakazi bolunya bayangivelela; bangibuza ngezinto engingazaziyo.
12 Kwa ajili ya wema wananilipa mabaya. Nina huzuni nyingi.
Bangiphindisela okuhle ngokubi umphefumulo wami usale usudabukile.
13 Lakini, walipokuwa akiugua, nilivaa magunia; nilifunga kwa ajili yao huku kichwa changu kikiinamia kifuani kwangu.
Ikanti kwathi bona begula ngembatha amasaka ngazithoba ngazila ukudla. Kwathi lapho imikhuleko yami ingaphendulwa
14 Nilienenda katika huzuni kana kwamba walikuwa ni ndugu zangu; niliinama chini nikiomboleza kana kwamba ni kwa ajili ya mama yangu.
ngaba sesililweni kwangathi ngililela umngane wami loba umfowethu. Ngakhothamisa ikhanda lami ngokudabuka kwangathi ngililela umama.
15 Bali mimi nilipokuwa mashakani, walifurahi sana na kukutanika pamoja; walikutanika pamoja kinyume na mimi, nami nilishangazwa nao. Walinirarua bila kuacha.
Kodwa ngathi sengikhubekile baqwebana bokha insini; abahlaseli bangihlanganyela ngilibele. Bangichothoza okungapheliyo.
16 Kwa dharau kabisa walinidhihaki; walinisagia meno yao.
Bakloloda ngomona njengabangakholwayo; bangigedlela amazinyo abo.
17 Bwana, mpaka lini utaendelea kutazama? uiokoe roho yangu na mashambulizi yao ya maagamizi uyaokoe maisha yangu na simba.
Nkosi, uzakuma ubukele kuze kube nini na? Yenyula impilo yami ekungilimazeni kwabo, impilo yami eligugu kulezizilwane.
18 Nami nitakushukuru wewe katika kusanyiko kubwa; nitakusifu kati ya watu wengi.
Ngizakubonga phakathi komhlangano omkhulu; ngikudumise ngiphakathi kwamaxuku abantu.
19 Usiwaache maadui zangu wadanganyifu kufurahi juu yangu; usiwaache waendelee na mipango yao ya uovu.
Ungabayekeli abayizitha zami ngingabonelanga lutho, bantele phezu kwami. Ungayekeli labo abangizondayo kungelasizatho, banginyonkoloze ngomona.
20 Kwa maana hawaongei amani, bali wanabuni maneno ya uongo kwa wale wanaoishi kwa amani katika ardhi yetu.
Kabakhulumi okuqondileyo kodwa babumba amacala amanga, ngalabo abaphila ngokuthula elizweni.
21 Midomo yao inapaza sauti ikinishtaki; wakisema, Aha, Aha, macho yetu yameona.”
Bangikhamisela imilomo bathi, “Hiya belo! Sizibonele ngawethu amehlo la.”
22 Yahwe wewe umeona, usikae kimya; Bwana, usiwe mbali nami.
Oh Thixo, usukubonile lokhu; ungathuli. Ungabi khatshana kwami, Oh Nkosi.
23 Inuka mwenyewe na usimame kunitetea; Mungu wangu na Bwana wangu, unitetee.
Vuka, uphakame ungilamulele! Ngilwela, Nkulunkulu Thixo wami.
24 Kwa sabababu ya haki yako, Yahwe Mungu wangu, unitetee; usiwaache wafurahi kwa ajili yangu.
Ngigeza ngokulunga Kwakho, Thixo, Nkulunkulu wami; ungabayekeli bantele phezu kwami.
25 Usiwaache waseme mioyoni mwao, “Aha, tumepata tulicho kihitaji.” Usiwaache waseme, tumemmeza.”
Ungabayekeli bacabange bathi, “Ehe, yikho ebesikufuna!” loba bathi, “Sesimginyile.”
26 Uwaaibishe na kuwa fendhehesha wale wanaotaka kunidhuru. Wale wote wanao ni dhihaki wafunikwe kwa aibu na kudharauliwa.
Sengathi bonke abantela ngokuhlupheka kwami bangathelwa ngehlazo basanganiseke; sengathi bonke abazikhukhumezayo phezu kwami bangembeswa ngokuyangeka langehlazo.
27 Nao wote wanao tamani kudhihirishwa kwangu washangilie na wafurahi; siku zote waseme, “Usifiwe Yahwe, yeye ajifurahishaye katika mafanikio ya mtumishi wake.
Sengathi labo abathokoza ngokugezwa kwami bangahalalisa ngentokozo lenjabulo; sengathi bangatsho kokuphela bathi, “Makaphakanyiswe uThixo othokoza ngokuhlala kuhle kwenceku yakhe.”
28 Kisha nitatangaza matendo yako ya haki na kukusifu wewe wakati wote.
Ulimi lwami luzakhuluma ngokulunga Kwakho langendumiso Yakho ilanga lonke.
