Psalms 76

1 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,

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

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

Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

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

Lapho wephula imitshoko evuthayo yedandili, isihlangu, lenkemba, lempi. (Sela)

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

Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

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

Baphangiwe abaqinileyo ngenhliziyo, balele ubuthongo babo; njalo kakho emaqhaweni othole izandla zawo.

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

Ekukhalimeni kwakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe, kokubili inqola lebhiza kulele ubuthongo obukhulu.

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

Wena, wena uyesabeka. Ngubani-ke ongema phambi kwakho kusukela esikhathini solaka lwakho?

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

Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

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

mhla uNkulunkulu evukela isahlulelo, ukusindisa bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba. (Sela)

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

Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

11 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.

Fungani, likhokhe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lonke eliyihanqileyo lilethe izipho kuye ofanele esatshwe.

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

Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
