Psalms 76

1 “To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm or song of Assaph.” In Judah hath God been made known: in Israel is his name great.

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

2 And in Salem was his tabernacle made, and his dwelling-place in Zion.

Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

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

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

4 Thou art more brilliant, more excellent than the mountains [full] of prey.

Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

5 Bereft of reason are the stouthearted, they slumber their sleep: and none of the men of might have found [the use of] their hands.

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

6 From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, lie in deep sleep both chariot and horse.

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

7 Thou—thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thy anger [is kindled]?

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

8 From heaven hast thou caused [thy] sentence to be heard: the earth feared, and became still,

Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

9 When God rose to judgment, to save all the lowly of the earth. (Selah)

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

10 For the fury of man shall praise thee: the remainder of the fury wilt thou gird about thee.

Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

11 Make vows, and pay [them] unto the Lord your God, all ye that are round about him: let men bring presents unto him that exciteth fear.

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

12 He will cut down the spirit of the powerful: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
