Psalms 75
1 For the music director. A psalm of Asaph. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A song. We thank you, God, we thank you because you are close beside us. People tell about the wonderful things you have done.
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 God says, “When the time I have decided comes, I will judge fairly.
Wena uthi, “Ngikhetha isikhathi esimisiweyo; yimi engahlulela okuqondileyo.
3 When the earth quakes, and all its inhabitants tremble, I am the one who holds it steady. (Selah)
Nxa umhlaba kanye labantu bawo kuzamazama, yimi engizibamba ziqine izisekelo zawo.
4 To those who boast I say, ‘Don't boast!’ I tell the wicked, ‘Don't be proud!’
Ngithi kwabayiziqholo, ‘Lingabe lisazincoma,’ ngithi kwababi, ‘Lingaziphakamisi impondo zenu.
5 No, don't be proud and arrogant, insulting heaven.”
Lingaphakamiseli uphondo lwenu phezulu ezulwini; lingakhulumi liziqhenya.’”
6 For no one, from the east to the west, or from the wilderness, should think so highly of themselves.
Kakho ovela empumalanga loba entshonalanga, kumbe ovela enkangala ongaphakamisa umuntu.
7 God is the one who decides—who he will bring down and who he will lift up.
Kodwa nguNkulunkulu owahlulelayo: uyamehlisa omunye, amkhweze omunye.
8 For the Lord has a cup in his hand, full of bubbling wine mixed with spices. He pours it out, and all the wicked drink it deeply, down to the last drop.
Esandleni sikaThixo kukhona inkezo egcwele iwayini eliphuphumayo elixutshwe ngeziyoliso; uyalithulula, kuthi bonke ababi bomhlaba balinathe kanye lenzece zalo.
9 But I will speak about you forever. I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Kodwa mina ngizamemezela lokhu lanini; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,
10 For God says, “I will break the power of the wicked; but I will give my support to those who do what is good.”
yena othi, “Ngizazithulisa zonke impondo zababi, kodwa impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.”
