Psalms 66
1 For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Ingoma. Ihubo. Memezani ngentokozo kuNkulunkulu mhlaba wonke!
2 Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
Hlabelani ngobukhosi bebizo lakhe; yenzani udumo lwakhe lube lenkazimulo!
3 Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
Yitshoni kuNkulunkulu lithi, “Imangalisa kangaka imisebenzi yakho! Izitha Zakho ziyethuka phambi Kwakho
4 All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” (Selah)
Umhlaba wonke uyakhothama Kuwe; bahlabela udumo Kuwe, bahlabelela udumo ebizweni Lakho.”
5 Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
Wozani libone akwenzileyo uNkulunkulu, ukumangalisa kwemisebenzi yakhe ayenzela abantu!
6 He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
Waguqula ulwandle lwaba ngumhlabathi owomileyo, badabula phakathi kwamanzi behamba ngezinyawo wozani sithokoze Kuye.
7 He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Don’t let the rebellious rise up against him. (Selah)
Uyabusa laphakade ngamandla Akhe, amehlo Akhe ayazikhangela izizwe sengathi abahlamuki.
8 Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
Dumisani uNkulunkulu wethu, lina bantu lonke, akuthi inhlokomo yokudunyiswa kwakhe izwakale;
9 who preserves our life among the living, and doesn’t allow our feet to be moved.
uzilondolozile impilo zethu wavikela inyawo zethu ukuze zingatsheleli.
10 For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
Ngoba wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, wasilinga; wasicenga njengesiliva.
11 You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
Wasingenisa entolongweni waseleka ngemithwalo emihlane yethu.
12 You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.
Wayekela abantu bakhwela bazehlela emakhanda ethu; sedlula phakathi komlilo lamanzi, kodwa wasiletha endaweni yenala.
13 I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
Ngizakuza ethempelini Lakho lomnikelo wokutshiswa ngigcwalise izifungo zami Kuwe.
14 which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
Izifungo ezathenjiswa yizindebe zami lomlomo wami lapho ngisekuhluphekeni.
15 I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah)
Ngizakuhlabela izifuyo ezinonileyo, lomnikelo wenqama; ngizanikela ngenkunzi kanye lembuzi.
16 Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
Wozani lilalele, lina lonke elimesabayo uNkulunkulu; wothani ngilitshele lokho angenzele khona.
17 I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
Ngakhala Kuye ngomlomo wami; indumiso yakhe yayisolimini lwami.
18 If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.
Aluba ngangigcine isono enhliziyweni yami, iNkosi ngabe kayizange ingilalele;
19 But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
kodwa ngeqiniso uNkulunkulu walalela walizwa ilizwi lami ngikhuleka.
20 Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
Kadunyiswe uNkulunkulu ongawulahlanga umkhuleko wami futhi ongagodlanga uthando lwakhe kimi.
