Amahubo 76

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

To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,

2 Ithente lakhe liseSalema, indawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyoni.

In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.

3 Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo, izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.

There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah)

4 Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya, ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.

You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.

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

Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.

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

At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.

7 Wena wedwa uyesatshwa. Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?

You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?

8 Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho, ilizwe lesaba lathula,

From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,

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

When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah)

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

The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...

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

Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.

12 Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi; uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.

He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
