Psalms 96
1 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.
Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.
2 Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.
Hlabelani eNkosini, lidumise ibizo layo, litshumayele usindiso lwayo insuku ngensuku.
3 Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.
Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
4 For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.
Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, yona iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
5 For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.
Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.
6 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.
7 Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
8 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.
Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.
9 Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.
10 Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also — established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'
Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.
11 The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.
Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.
12 The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,
Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu zizahlabela ngentokozo
13 Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.
