Psalms 78
1 The lernyng of Asaph. Mi puple, perseyue ye my lawe; bowe youre eere in to the wordis of my mouth.
Lalelani, bantu bami, umthetho wami, libeke indlebe yenu emazwini omlomo wami.
2 I schal opene my mouth in parablis; Y schal speke perfite resouns fro the bigynnyng.
Ngizavula umlomo wami ngomfanekiso, ngikhuphe izimfihlakalo zendulo,
3 Hou grete thingis han we herd, aud we han knowe tho; and oure fadris. telden to vs.
esizizwileyo lesizaziyo, obaba abasitshela zona.
4 Tho ben not hid fro the sones of hem; in anothir generacioun. And thei telden the heriyngis of the Lord, and the vertues of hym; and hise merueilis, whyche he dide.
Kasiyikuzifihlela abantwana babo, kusizukulwana esilandelayo, silandisa izindumiso zeNkosi, lamandla ayo, lezimangaliso ezenzileyo.
5 And he reiside witnessyng in Jacob; and he settide lawe in Israel. Hou grete thingis comaundide he to oure fadris, to make tho knowun to her sones;
Ngoba wamisa ubufakazi koJakobe, wabeka umlayo koIsrayeli, awulaya obaba, ukuze bawazise abantwana babo,
6 that another generacioun knowe. Sones, that schulen be born, and schulen rise vp; schulen telle out to her sones.
ukuze isizukulwana esilandelayo sazi, abantwana abazazalwa, basukume batshele abantwana babo,
7 That thei sette her hope in God, and foryete not the werkis of God; and that thei seke hise comaundementis.
ukuze babeke ithemba labo kuNkulunkulu, bangayikhohlwa imisebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kodwa bagcine imithetho yakhe;
8 Lest thei be maad a schrewid generacioun; and terrynge to wraththe, as the fadris of hem. A generacioun that dresside not his herte; and his spirit was not bileued with God.
njalo bangabi njengaboyise, isizukulwana esilenkani lesivukelayo, isizukulwana esingaqondisanga inhliziyo yaso, lesimoya waso ungathembekanga kuNkulunkulu.
9 The sones of Effraym, bendinge a bouwe and sendynge arowis; weren turned in the dai of batel.
Abantwana bakoEfrayimi, behlomile betshoka ngamadandili, babuyela emuva mhla wempi.
10 Thei kepten not the testament of God; and thei nolden go in his lawe.
Kabasilondolozanga isivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu, bala ukuhamba emlayweni wakhe.
11 And thei foryaten hise benefices; and hise merueils, whiche he schewide to hem.
Bakhohlwa izenzo zakhe lezimangaliso zakhe ayebatshengisa zona.
12 He dide merueils bifore the fadris of hem in the loond of Egipt; in the feeld of Taphneos.
Phambi kwaboyise wenza isimangaliso elizweni leGibhithe, egangeni leZowani.
13 He brak the see, and ledde hem thorou; and he ordeynede the watris as in a bouge.
Waqhekeza ulwandle, wabachaphisa, wenza amanzi ema njengenqumbi.
14 And he ledde hem forth in a cloude of the dai; and al niyt in the liytnyng of fier.
Wabakhokhela ngeyezi emini, lebusuku bonke ngokukhanya komlilo.
15 He brak a stoon in deseert; and he yaf watir to hem as in a myche depthe.
Waqhekeza amadwala enkangala, wabanathisa kungathi kuvela ezinzikini ezinkulu.
16 And he ledde watir out of the stoon; and he ledde forth watris as floodis.
Waseveza izifula edwaleni, wenza amanzi ehla njengemifula.
17 And thei `leiden to yit to do synne ayens hym; thei excitiden hiye God in to ire, in a place with out water.
Kodwa baphinda futhi ukona kuye, ngokumvukela oPhezukonke enkangala.
18 And thei temptiden God in her hertis; that thei axiden meetis to her lyues.
Bamlinga uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yabo ngokucela ukudla kwenkanuko yabo.
19 And thei spaken yuel of God; thei seiden, Whether God may make redi a bord in desert?
Basebekhuluma bemelene loNkulunkulu bathi: UNkulunkulu angalungisa itafula enkangala yini?
20 For he smoot a stoon, and watris flowiden; and streemys yeden out in aboundaunce. Whether also he may yyue breed; ether make redi a bord to his puple?
Khangela, watshaya idwala, kwampompoza amanzi, lezifula zagabha; anganika lesinkwa yini? angalungisela abantu bakhe inyama na?
21 Therfor the Lord herde, and delaiede; and fier was kindelid in Jacob, and the ire of God stiede on Israel.
Ngakho iNkosi yezwa yathukuthela; umlilo wasubaselwa uJakobe, njalo lolaka lwavukela uIsrayeli,
22 For thei bileueden not in God; nether hopiden in his heelthe.
ngoba kabakholwanga kuNkulunkulu, kabathembanga esindisweni lwakhe.
23 And he comaundide to the cloudis aboue; and he openyde the yatis of heuene.
Lanxa walaya amayezi ngaphezulu, wavula iminyango yamazulu,
24 And he reynede to hem manna for to eete; and he yaf to hem breed of heuene.
wabanisela imana ukuthi badle, wabapha amabele amazulu.
25 Man eet the breed of aungels; he sent to hem meetis in aboundance.
Umuntu wadla isinkwa sabalamandla; wabathumela ukudla ukuze basuthe.
26 He turnede ouere the south wynde fro heuene; and he brouyte in bi his vertu the weste wynde.
Wenza umoya wempumalanga wavunguza emazulwini; langamandla akhe waqhuba umoya weningizimu.
27 And he reynede fleischis as dust on hem; and `he reinede volatils fethered, as the grauel of the see.
Wasenisela phezu kwabo inyama njengothuli, lenyoni ezilempiko njengetshebetshebe lolwandle;
28 And tho felden doun in the myddis of her castels; aboute the tabernaclis of hem.
wazenza zawela phakathi kwenkamba yabo, zagombolozela indawo zabo zokuhlala.
29 And thei eeten, and weren fillid greetli, and he brouyte her desire to hem;
Ngakho badla basutha kakhulu, ngoba wabalethela isiloyiso sabo.
30 thei weren not defraudid of her desier. Yit her metis weren in her mouth;
Kabehlukananga lenkanuko yabo; ukudla kusesemlonyeni wabo,
31 and the ire of God stiede on hem. And he killide the fatte men of hem; and he lettide the chosene men of Israel.
ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwaselubavukela, wabulala kwabakhulupheleyo babo, watshaya abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli.
32 In alle these thingis thei synneden yit; and bileuede not in the merueils of God.
Kulokhu konke bajinga besona, njalo kabakholwanga ngenxa yezimangaliso zakhe.
33 And the daies of hem failiden in vanytee; and the yeeris of hem faileden with haste.
Ngakho waziqeda izinsuku zabo ngeze, leminyaka yabo ovalweni.
34 Whanne he killide hem, thei souyten hym; and turneden ayen, and eerli thei camen to hym.
Lapho ebabulala, bamdinga, baphenduka, bamdingisisa uNkulunkulu.
35 And thei bithouyten, that God is the helper of hem; and `the hiy God is the ayenbier of hem.
Bakhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu ulidwala labo, loNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ungumhlengi wabo.
36 And thei loueden hym in her mouth; and with her tunge thei lieden to hym.
Kodwa bamyenga ngomlomo wabo, baqamba amanga kuye ngolimi lwabo.
37 Forsothe the herte of hem was not riytful with hym; nethir thei weren had feithful in his testament.
Ngoba inhliziyo yabo yayingaqondanga kuye, njalo bengathembekanga esivumelwaneni sakhe.
38 But he is merciful, and he schal be maad merciful to the synnes of hem; and he schal not destrie hem. And he dide greetli, to turne awei his yre; and he kyndelide not al his ire.
Kodwa yena elesihawu wathethelela ububi babo, kababhubhisanga; yebo, kanengi walunqanda ulaka lwakhe, kakuvusanga konke ukuthukuthela kwakhe.
39 And he bithouyte, that thei ben fleische; a spirit goynge, and not turnynge ayen.
Ngoba wakhumbula ukuthi bayinyama, umoya odlulayo, ongabuyiyo.
40 Hou oft maden thei hym wrooth in desert; thei stireden hym in to ire in a place with out watir.
Kanengi kangakanani bemvukela ehlane, bemdabukisa enkangala.
41 And thei weren turned, and temptiden God; and thei wraththiden the hooli of Israel.
Yebo baphenduka bamlinga uNkulunkulu, bamdabukisa oNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
42 Thei bithouyten not on his hond; in the dai in the which he ayen bouyte hem fro the hond of the trobler.
Kabasikhumbulanga isandla sakhe, usuku abahlenga ngalo esitheni.
43 As he settide hise signes in Egipt; and hise grete wondris in the feeld of Taphneos.
Ukuthi wamisa njani izibonakaliso zakhe eGibhithe, lezimangaliso zakhe emmangweni weZowani,
44 And he turnede the flodis of hem and the reynes of hem in to blood; that thei schulden not drynke.
lokuthi waphendula imifula yabo yaba ligazi, lezifula zabo, ukuze banganathi.
45 He sente a fleisch flie in to hem, and it eet hem; and he sente a paddok, and it loste hem.
Wathumela phakathi kwabo umtshitshi wezibawu, ezabadlayo, lamaxoxo ababhubhisayo.
46 And he yaf the fruytis of hem to rust; and he yaf the trauels of hem to locustis.
Wasenika imihogoyi isivuno sabo, lomsebenzi wabo isikhonyane.
47 And he killide the vynes of hem bi hail; and the moore trees of hem bi a frost.
Wabulala ivini labo ngesiqhotho, lemikhiwa yabo yesikhamore ngongqwaqwane.
48 And he bitook the beestis of hem to hail; and the possessioun of hem to fier.
Wasenikela izifuyo zabo esiqhothweni, lemihlambi yabo kuyo imibane.
49 He sente in to hem the ire of his indignacioun; indignacioun, and ire, and tribulacioun, sendingis in bi iuel aungels.
Waphosela phezu kwabo ukuvutha kolaka lwakhe, ukuthukuthela, lokucunuka, lokuhlupheka, ngokuthuma izithunywa zobubi.
50 He made weie to the path of his ire, and he sparide not fro the deth of her lyues; and he closide togidere in deth the beestis of hem.
Walungisela ulaka lwakhe indlela, kanqandanga umphefumulo wabo ekufeni, kodwa wanikela impilo yabo kumatshayabhuqe wesifo.
51 And he smoot al the first gendrid thing in the lond of Egipt; the first fruytis of alle the trauel of hem in the tabernaclis of Cham.
Wasetshaya wonke amazibulo eGibhithe, okokuqala kwamandla emathenteni kaHamu.
52 And he took awei his puple as scheep; and he ledde hem forth as a flok in desert.
Wasebakhupha abantu bakhe njengezimvu, wabakhokhela enkangala njengomhlambi.
53 And he ledde hem forth in hope, and thei dredden not; and the see hilide the enemyes of hem.
Wasebakhokhela bephephile ukuze bangesabi; kodwa ulwandle lwasibekela izitha zabo.
54 And he brouyte hem in to the hil of his halewyng; in to the hil which his riythond gat. And he castide out hethene men fro the face of hem; and bi lot he departide to hem the lond in a cord of delyng.
Wasebafikisa emkhawulweni wendawo yakhe engcwele, le intaba, isandla sakhe sokunene esayizuzayo.
55 And he made the lynagis of Israel to dwelle in the tabernaclis of hem.
Wasebaxotsha abezizwe phambi kwabo; wababela ilifa ngomzila, wahlalisa izizwe zakoIsrayeli emathenteni azo.
56 And thei temptiden, and wraththiden heiy God; and thei kepten not hise witnessyngis.
Kanti bamlinga, bamvukela uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, kabazigcinanga izifakazelo zakhe.
57 And thei turneden awei hem silf, and thei kepten not couenaunt; as her fadris weren turned in to a schrewid bouwe.
Kodwa babuyela emuva, benza ngokungathembeki njengaboyise, baphanjulwa njengedandili elikhohlisayo.
58 Thei stiriden him in to ire in her litle hillis; and thei terriden hym to indignacioun of her grauen ymagis.
Ngoba bamthukuthelisa ngezindawo zabo eziphakemeyo, bavusa umona wakhe ngezithombe zabo ezibaziweyo.
59 God herde, and forsook; and brouyte to nouyt Israel greetli.
UNkulunkulu esizwa wathukuthela, wamenyanya kakhulu uIsrayeli.
60 And he puttide awei the tabernacle of Sylo; his tabernacle where he dwellide among men.
Ngakho walitshiya ithabhanekele leShilo, ithente alimisa phakathi kwabantu.
61 And he bitook the vertu of hem in to caitiftee; and the fairnesse of hem in to the hondis of the enemye.
Wasenikela amandla akhe ekuthunjweni, lenkazimulo yakhe esandleni sesitha.
62 And he closide togidere his puple in swerd; and he dispiside his erytage.
Wasenikela abantu bakhe enkembeni, waselithukuthelela ilifa lakhe.
63 Fier eet the yonge men of hem; and the virgyns of hem weren not biweilid.
Umlilo waqeda amajaha abo, lezintombi zabo kazihlatshelelwanga.
64 The prestis of hem fellen doun bi swerd; and the widewis of hem weren not biwept.
Abapristi babo bawa ngenkemba, labafelokazi babo kabalilanga.
65 And the Lord was reisid, as slepynge; as miyti greetli fillid of wiyn.
Khona iNkosi yavuka njengobelele, njengeqhawe eliklabalala ngenxa yewayini.
66 And he smoot hise enemyes on the hynderere partis; he yaf to hem euerlastyng schenschipe.
Yazitshaya izitha zayo emuva, yazithela ihlazo phakade.
67 And he puttide awei the tabernacle of Joseph; and he chees not the lynage of Effraym.
Yasilahla ithente likaJosefa, kayikhethanga isizwe sakoEfrayimi.
68 But he chees the lynage of Juda; he chees the hil of Syon, which he louede.
Kodwa yakhetha isizwe sakoJuda, intaba yeZiyoni eyithandayo.
69 And he as an vnicorn bildide his hooli place; in the lond, which he foundide in to worldis.
Yayakha indlu yayo engcwele njengezingqonga, njengomhlaba ewusekeleyo kuze kube nininini.
70 And he chees Dauid his seruaunt, and took hym vp fro the flockis of scheep; he took hym fro bihynde scheep with lambren.
Yasikhetha uDavida inceku yayo, yamthatha ezibayeni zezimvu;
71 To feed Jacob his seruaunt; and Israel his eritage.
ekulandeleni izimvukazi ezenyisayo, yamletha ukwelusa uJakobe abantu bayo, loIsrayeli ilifa layo.
72 And he fedde hem in the innocens of his herte; and he ledde hem forth in the vndurstondyngis of his hondis.
Njalo wabelusa njengobuqotho benhliziyo yakhe, wabakhokhela ngobugabazi bezandla zakhe.
