Amahubo 75

1 Siyakubonga, Nkulunkulu, siyabonga, ukuthi ibizo lakho liseduze, iyalandisa imisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.

To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme or song committed toAsaph. We will prayse thee, O God, we will prayse thee, for thy Name is neere: therefore they will declare thy wonderous workes.

2 Lapho ngisemukela isikhathi esimisiweyo ngizakwahlulela ngokuqonda.

When I shall take a conuenient time, I will iudge righteously.

3 Umhlaba labo bonke abakhileyo kuwo kuncibilikile; mina ngiqinisa insika zawo. (Sela)

The earth and all the inhabitantes thereof are dissolued: but I will establish the pillars of it. (Selah)

4 Ngathi kwabayiziwula: Lingabi yiziwula. Lakwababi: Lingaphakamisi uphondo.

I saide vnto the foolish, Be not so foolish, and to the wicked, Lift not vp the horne.

5 Lingaphakamiseli phezulu uphondo lwenu, lingakhulumi ngentamo elukhuni.

Lift not vp your horne on high, neither speake with a stiffe necke.

6 Ngoba ukuphakanyiswa kakuveli empumalanga kumbe entshonalanga njalo hatshi enkangala.

For to come to preferment is neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South,

7 Kodwa uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli, uyehlisa omunye, aphakamise omunye.

But God is the iudge: he maketh lowe and he maketh hie.

8 Ngoba esandleni seNkosi kulenkezo; lewayini liphuphuma, ligcwele inhlanganiso; iyathulula okwalo; kodwa izibhidi zalo, ababi bonke bomhlaba bazazihluza bazinathe.

For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red: it is full mixt, and he powreth out of the same: surely all the wicked of the earth shall wring out and drinke the dregges thereof.

9 Kodwa mina ngizatshumayela njalonjalo, ngihlabele indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

But I will declare for euer, and sing prayses vnto the God of Iaakob.

10 Njalo zonke impondo zababi ngizaziquma; impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.

All the hornes of the wicked also will I breake: but the hornes of the righteous shalbe exalted.
