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.
UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.
2 And his place is in peace: and his abode in Sion:
Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.
3 There hath he broken the powers of bows, the shield, the sword, and the battie.
Lapho wephula imitshoko evuthayo yedandili, isihlangu, lenkemba, lempi. (Sela)
4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills.
Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.
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.
Baphangiwe abaqinileyo ngenhliziyo, balele ubuthongo babo; njalo kakho emaqhaweni othole izandla zawo.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
Ekukhalimeni kwakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe, kokubili inqola lebhiza kulele ubuthongo obukhulu.
7 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? from that time thy wrath.
Wena, wena uyesabeka. Ngubani-ke ongema phambi kwakho kusukela esikhathini solaka lwakho?
8 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: the earth trembled and was still,
Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,
9 When God arose in judgment, to save all the meek of the earth.
mhla uNkulunkulu evukela isahlulelo, ukusindisa bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba. (Sela)
10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.
11 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: all you that are round about him bring presents. To him that is terrible,
Fungani, likhokhe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lonke eliyihanqileyo lilethe izipho kuye ofanele esatshwe.
12 Even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
