Psalms 75
1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.
Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Iculo elithi, “Ungabhidlizi.” Ihubo lika-Asafi. Ingoma. Siletha ukubonga kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu, siletha ukubonga, ngoba iBizo lakho liseduze; abantu bakhuluma ngemisebenzi Yakho emangalisayo.
2 When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.
Wena uthi, “Ngikhetha isikhathi esimisiweyo; yimi engahlulela okuqondileyo.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)
Nxa umhlaba kanye labantu bawo kuzamazama, yimi engizibamba ziqine izisekelo zawo.
4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Ngithi kwabayiziqholo, ‘Lingabe lisazincoma,’ ngithi kwababi, ‘Lingaziphakamisi impondo zenu.
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.
Lingaphakamiseli uphondo lwenu phezulu ezulwini; lingakhulumi liziqhenya.’”
6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:
Kakho ovela empumalanga loba entshonalanga, kumbe ovela enkangala ongaphakamisa umuntu.
7 For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.
Kodwa nguNkulunkulu owahlulelayo: uyamehlisa omunye, amkhweze omunye.
8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.
Esandleni sikaThixo kukhona inkezo egcwele iwayini eliphuphumayo elixutshwe ngeziyoliso; uyalithulula, kuthi bonke ababi bomhlaba balinathe kanye lenzece zalo.
9 But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.
Kodwa mina ngizamemezela lokhu lanini; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,
10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
yena othi, “Ngizazithulisa zonke impondo zababi, kodwa impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.”
