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.

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

2 And his abode is in Salem, and his lair in Zion.

Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

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

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

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

Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

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

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

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

Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

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

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

12 He humbles the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
