Psalms 76

1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. In Judah is God known; His name is great in Israel.

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

2 In Salem also is set His tabernacle, and His dwelling-place in Zion.

Ithente lakhe liseSalema, indawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyoni.

3 There He broke the fiery shafts of the bow; the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo, izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.

4 Glorious art Thou and excellent, coming down from the mountains of prey.

Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya, ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.

5 The stout-hearted are bereft of sense, they sleep their sleep; and none of the men of might have found 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 are cast into a dead sleep, the riders also and the horses.

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

7 Thou, even Thou, art terrible; and who may stand in Thy sight when once Thou art angry?

Wena wedwa uyesatshwa. Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?

8 Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho, ilizwe lesaba lathula,

9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the humble of the earth. (Selah)

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

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee; the residue of wrath shalt Thou gird upon Thee.

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

11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God; let all that are round about Him bring presents unto Him that is to be feared;

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

12 He minisheth the spirit of princes; He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi; uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.
