Psalms 41

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid. Blessed is he that iudgeth wisely of the poore: the Lord shall deliuer him in ye time of trouble.

Ubusisiwe onanzelela obuthakathaka. INkosi izamkhulula ngosuku lobubi.

2 The Lord will keepe him, and preserue him aliue: he shalbe blessed vpon the earth, and thou wilt not deliuer him vnto the will of his enemies.

INkosi izamlondoloza, imgcine ephila; uzabusiswa emhlabeni; kawuyikumnikela entandweni yezitha zakhe.

3 The Lord wil strengthen him vpon ye bed of sorow: thou hast turned al his bed in his sicknes.

INkosi izamsekela embhedeni wokugula kwakhe; wena uzaguqula lonke icansi lakhe emkhuhlaneni wakhe.

4 Therefore I saide, Lord haue mercie vpon me: heale my soule, for I haue sinned against thee.

Mina ngathi: Nkosi, woba lomusa kimi, silisa umphefumulo wami, ngoba ngonile kuwe.

5 Mine enemies speake euill of me, saying, When shall he die, and his name perish?

Izitha zami zikhuluma okubi ngami zisithi: Uzakufa nini, lebizo lakhe lichitheke?

6 And if hee come to see mee, hee speaketh lies, but his heart heapeth iniquitie within him, and when he commeth foorth, he telleth it.

Lalapho efika ukungibona, ukhuluma inkohliso; inhliziyo yakhe izibuthela okubi, esephumile phandle akhulume.

7 All they that hate me, whisper together against me: euen against me do they imagine mine hurt.

Bonke abangizondayo banyenyezelana bemelene lami, bangisongele ukungona.

8 A mischiefe is light vpon him, and he that lyeth, shall no more rise.

Into embi inamathele kuye; njalo njengoba elele phansi kasayikuvuka.

9 Yea, my familiar friend, whom I trusted, which did eate of my bread, hath lifted vp the heele against me.

Yebo, indoda yobungane bami engiyithembayo, ebikade isidla isinkwa sami, ingiphakamisele isithende imelene lami.

10 Therefore, O Lord, haue mercy vpon mee, and raise me vp: so I shall reward them.

Kodwa, wena Nkosi, woba lomusa kimi, ungilulamise ukuze ngibaphindisele.

11 By this I know that thou fauourest me, because mine enemie doth not triumph against me.

Ngalokhu ngiyazi ukuthi uyangithanda, ngoba isitha sami kasithabanga phezu kwami.

12 And as for me, thou vpholdest me in mine integritie, and doest set me before thy face for euer.

Kodwa mina, ungisekele ebuqothweni bami, wangimisa phambi kwakho kuze kube nininini.

13 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel worlde without ende. So be it, euen so be it.

Kayibongwe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, kusukela phakade kuze kube phakade. Ameni, loAmeni.
