Amahubo 96

1 Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.

Sing to Jehovah a new song. Sing to Jehovah, all the earth.

2 Hlabelani kuThixo, dumisani ibizo lakhe; memezelani insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.

Sing to Jehovah. Bless his name. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.

3 Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

4 Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.

5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Jehovah made the heavens.

6 Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe; amandla lobukhosi kusendlini yakhe engcwele.

Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.

Ascribe to Jehovah, you families of nations, ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.

8 Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe.

Ascribe to Jehovah the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9 Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe; thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke.

Worship Jehovah in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Wothini phakathi kwezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.” Umhlaba ugxilile, ungeke wagudluzwa; uzabehlulela abantu ngokubafaneleyo.

Say among the nations, "Jehovah reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule; ulwandle kaluhlokome, lakho konke okukulo;

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness.

12 amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo. Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo;

Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

13 phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza, uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ahlulele abantu ngeqiniso.

before Jehovah; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
