Psalms 75

1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to thee, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon thy name: I will declare all thy wonderful works.

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

2 When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

Lapho ngisemukela isikhathi esimisiweyo ngizakwahlulela ngokuqonda.

3 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)

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

4 I said unto the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

Ngathi kwabayiziwula: Lingabi yiziwula. Lakwababi: Lingaphakamisi uphondo.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.

Lingaphakamiseli phezulu uphondo lwenu, lingakhulumi ngentamo elukhuni.

6 For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

Ngoba ukuphakanyiswa kakuveli empumalanga kumbe entshonalanga njalo hatshi enkangala.

7 For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.

Kodwa uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli, uyehlisa omunye, aphakamise omunye.

8 For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].

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

9 But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Kodwa mina ngizatshumayela njalonjalo, ngihlabele indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

10 And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.

Njalo zonke impondo zababi ngizaziquma; impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.
