Psalms 76

1 To the Chief Musician. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;

UNkulunkulu uyaziwa koJuda; ibizo lakhe likhulu koIsrayeli.

2 Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.

Njalo idumba lakhe liseSalema, lendawo yakhe yokuhlala eZiyoni.

3 There, hath he broken in pieces the arrows of the bow, shield and sword, and battle. (Selah)

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

4 Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.

Uyakhazimula, ulobukhosi okwedlula izintaba zempango.

5 The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered 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 thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Stunned are the horsemen.

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

7 As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?

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

8 Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:

Wenza isahlulelo sizwakale usemazulwini; umhlaba wesaba wathula,

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

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

10 For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto thee.

Qotho, ulaka lomuntu luzakudumisa; uzazibhinca ngensalela yolaka.

11 Vow and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.

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

12 He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.

Izaquma umoya weziphathamandla; iyesabeka emakhosini omhlaba.
