< Psalms 99 >
1 Jehovah reigneth: let the peoples tremble. He sitteth [between the] cherubim: let the earth be moved.
UThixo uyabusa, izizwe kazithuthumele; uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phakathi kwamakherubhi, umhlaba kawuzamazame.
2 Jehovah is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.
Mkhulu uThixo eZiyoni; uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke.
3 They shall praise thy great and terrible name, — it is holy! —
Kabadumise ibizo Lakho elikhulu elesabekayo Yena ungcwele.
4 And the strength of the king that loveth justice. Thou hast established equity: it is thou that executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
INkosi ilamandla, ithanda ukwahlulela okuhle umisile ukwaba ngemfanelo; kuJakhobe usuwenzile okuqondileyo lokulungileyo.
5 Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at his footstool. He is holy!
Dumisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu likhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe; yena ungcwele.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name: they called unto Jehovah, and he answered them.
UMosi lo-Aroni babephakathi kwabaphristi bakhe, uSamuyeli wayekulabo ababelibiza ibizo lakhe; bambiza uThixo Yena wabaphendula.
7 He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud: they kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.
Wabakhulumisa ephakathi kwensika yeyezi; bagcina izimiso zakhe lezimemezelo azitshoyo kubo.
8 Jehovah, our God, thou answeredst them: a forgiving God wast thou unto them, though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.
Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu, wabaphendula; ku-Israyeli wawunguNkulunkulu othethelelayo, lanxa wabajezisa ngenxa yezenzo zabo ezimbi.
9 Exalt Jehovah our God, and worship at the hill of his holiness; for holy is Jehovah our God.
Phakamisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, limkhonze entabeni yakhe engcwele, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ungcwele.
