Psalms 76

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A song. God is known in Judah; His name is great in Israel.

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

2 His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion.

Ithente lakhe liseSalema, indawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyoni.

3 There He shattered the flaming arrows, the shield and sword and weapons of war.

Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo, izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.

4 You are resplendent with light, more majestic than mountains filled with game.

Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya, ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.

5 The valiant lie plundered; they sleep their last sleep. No men of might could lift a hand.

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

6 At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both horse and rider lie stunned.

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

7 You alone are to be feared. When You are angry, who can stand before You?

Wena wedwa uyesatshwa. Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?

8 From heaven You pronounced judgment, and the earth feared and was still

Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho, ilizwe lesaba lathula,

9 when God rose up to judge, to save all the lowly of the earth.

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

10 Even the wrath of man shall praise You; with the survivors of wrath You will clothe Yourself.

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

11 Make and fulfill your vows to the LORD your God; let all the neighboring lands bring tribute to Him who is to be feared.

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

12 He breaks the spirits of princes; He is feared by the kings of the earth.

Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi; uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.
