Psalms 76

1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A Psalm by Asaph. A song. In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kusetshenziswa iziginci. Ihubo lika-Asafi. Ingoma. Uyaziwa uNkulunkulu koJuda ibizo lakhe likhulu ko-Israyeli.

2 His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

Ithente lakhe liseSalema, indawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyoni.

3 There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. (Selah)

Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo, izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.

4 Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya, ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.

5 Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

Amadoda alezibindi alele ucaca aphangiwe, alele ubuthongo bawo bokucina; kakho loyedwa wamabutho lawo ongaphakamisa izandla zakhe.

6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

Uthi ungakhwaza wena, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe, ibhiza lenqola kuhle kulale phansi kuthi zwi.

7 You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

Wena wedwa uyesatshwa. Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?

8 You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho, ilizwe lesaba lathula,

9 when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. (Selah)

lapho wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, waphakama ukwahlulela, ukusindisa bonke abahluphekayo belizwe.

10 Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

Ngempela ulaka lwakho ebantwini lukulethela indumiso, kuthi bonke abasilileyo elakeni lwakho bathotshiswe.

11 Make vows to Yahweh your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

Yenzani izifungo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lizigcwalise; akuthi wonke amazwe abomakhelwana alethe izipho kuye Yedwa omele esatshwe.

12 He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi; uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.
