Psalms 75

1 For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.

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 When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.

Wena uthi, “Ngikhetha isikhathi esimisiweyo; yimi engahlulela okuqondileyo.

3 The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)

Nxa umhlaba kanye labantu bawo kuzamazama, yimi engizibamba ziqine izisekelo zawo.

4 I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; and to the sinners, Lift not up the horn.

Ngithi kwabayiziqholo, ‘Lingabe lisazincoma,’ ngithi kwababi, ‘Lingaziphakamisi impondo zenu.

5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not unrighteousness against God.

Lingaphakamiseli uphondo lwenu phezulu ezulwini; lingakhulumi liziqhenya.’”

6 For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.

Kakho ovela empumalanga loba entshonalanga, kumbe ovela enkangala ongaphakamisa umuntu.

7 For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.

Kodwa nguNkulunkulu owahlulelayo: uyamehlisa omunye, amkhweze omunye.

8 For [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].

Esandleni sikaThixo kukhona inkezo egcwele iwayini eliphuphumayo elixutshwe ngeziyoliso; uyalithulula, kuthi bonke ababi bomhlaba balinathe kanye lenzece zalo.

9 But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

Kodwa mina ngizamemezela lokhu lanini; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,

10 And I will break all the horns of sinners; but the horns of the righteous one shall be exalted.

yena othi, “Ngizazithulisa zonke impondo zababi, kodwa impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.”
