Psalms 76

1 In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

2 In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

3 There broke he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Selah)

Lapho wephula imitshoko evuthayo yedandili, isihlangu, lenkemba, lempi. (Sela)

4 You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.

Baphangiwe abaqinileyo ngenhliziyo, balele ubuthongo babo; njalo kakho emaqhaweni othole izandla zawo.

6 At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

Ekukhalimeni kwakho, Nkulunkulu kaJakobe, kokubili inqola lebhiza kulele ubuthongo obukhulu.

7 You, even you, are to be feared: and who may stand in your sight when once you are angry?

Wena, wena uyesabeka. Ngubani-ke ongema phambi kwakho kusukela esikhathini solaka lwakho?

8 You did cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

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

mhla uNkulunkulu evukela isahlulelo, ukusindisa bonke abathobekileyo bomhlaba. (Sela)

10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you: the remainder of wrath shall you restrain.

Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

11 Vow, and pay to the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents to him that ought to be feared.

Fungani, likhokhe eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu, lonke eliyihanqileyo lilethe izipho kuye ofanele esatshwe.

12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
