Psalms 79

Ihubo lika-Asafi

1 Oh Nkulunkulu, izizwe sezilingenele ilifa lakho;
sezilingcolisile ithempeli lakho eligcwele,
iJerusalema isibhidliziwe yaba luthuli.
2 Izidumbu zezinceku zakho sebezilahlile
ukuba yikudla kwezinyoni zasemoyeni,
inyama yabangcwele bakho yaba yikudla kwezilo zelizwe.
3 Balichithile igazi njengamanzi
bahonqolozela ngalo iJerusalema,
kasekho ozangcwaba abafileyo.
4 Siyizinto zokuchothozwa kubomakhelwane bethu,
inhlekisa lokweyiswa yibo bonke esihlala labo.

5 Koze kube nini, Oh Thixo? Uzazonda kuze kube nininini na?
Koze kube nini ubukhwele bakho butshisa njengomlilo na?
6 Thululela intukuthelo yakho kulezozizwe
ezingakunanziyo,
ezingalibiziyo ibizo lakho
7 ngoba zimchithile uJakhobe
zalibhidliza ilizwe lakibo.

8 Ungawethesi thina umlandu wabokhokho;
sengathi isihawu sakho singeza masinyane ukuzasivikela,
ngoba sesisebunzimeni obubi.
9 Sisize, awu Nkulunkulu Msindisi wethu,
ngenxa yobukhosi bebizo lakho;
sikhulule uthethelele izono zethu,
ngenxa yebizo lakho.
10 Kungani izizwe zisithi,
“Ungaphi uNkulunkulu wabo?”

Yenza emehlweni ethu, kwaziwe phakathi kwezizwe
ukuthi uyaliphindisela igazi lezinceku zakho elachithwayo.
11 Sengathi ukububula kwezibotshwa kungafinyelela kuwe;
ngamandla engalo yakho sindisa labo abagwetshelwe ukufa.
12 Baphindisele kasikhombisa omakhelwane bethu
ngezinhlamba ababekuchaphaza ngazo, Thixo.
13 Kuzakuthi-ke thina abantu bakho,
izimvu zedlelo lakho, sikudumise laphakade;
kusuka esizukulwaneni kusiya esizukulwaneni
sizabalisa udumo lwakho.
