Amahubo 76

1 UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

2 Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

3 Lapho wephula imitshoko evuthayo yedandili, isihlangu, lenkemba, lempi. (Sela)

There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

4 Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

5 Baphangiwe abaqinileyo ngenhliziyo, balele ubuthongo babo; njalo kakho emaqhaweni othole izandla zawo.

All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

6 Ekukhalimeni kwakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe, kokubili inqola lebhiza kulele ubuthongo obukhulu.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

7 Wena, wena uyesabeka. Ngubani-ke ongema phambi kwakho kusukela esikhathini solaka lwakho?

You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?

8 Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 mhla uNkulunkulu evukela isahlulelo, ukusindisa bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba. (Sela)

when God arose to judgment, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)

10 Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.

11 Fungani, likhokhe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lonke eliyihanqileyo lilethe izipho kuye ofanele esatshwe.

Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,

12 Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.

and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible among the kings of the earth.
