Psalms 76

1 Unto the end, in praises, a psalm for Asaph: a canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea God is known: his name is great in Israel.

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

2 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:

Ithente lakhe liseSalema, indawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyoni.

3 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.

Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo, izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.

4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.

Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya, ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.

5 All the foolish of heart were troubled. They have slept their sleep; and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

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

6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.

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

7 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.

Wena wedwa uyesatshwa. Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?

8 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,

Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho, ilizwe lesaba lathula,

9 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.

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

10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.

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

11 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,

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

12 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.

Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi; uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.
