Psalms 48
1 A song a psalm of [the] sons of Korah. [is] great Yahweh and [is] to be praised exceedingly in [the] city of God our [the] mountain of holiness his.
Ingoma. Ihubo lamaDodana kaKhora. Umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ngokuphindiweyo ukudunyiswa, emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu, intaba yakhe engcwele.
2 [it is] beautiful of Height [the] joy of all the earth [the] mountain of Zion [the] remotest parts of Zaphon [the] town of [the] king great.
Muhle kakhulu ngokuphakama kwakhe, uyintokozo yomhlaba wonke. Njengeziqongo zeZafoni injalo intaba iZiyoni, umuzi weNkosi eNkulu.
3 God [is] in fortresses its he has made himself known to a refuge.
UNkulunkulu usemithangaleni yawo; ubonisa ukuthi nguye oyinqaba yawo.
4 For there! the kings they assembled they passed on together.
Kwathi lapho amakhosi ehlanganisa izimpi zawo, lapho ehlasela kanyekanye,
5 They they saw thus they were astonished they were terrified they hurried away.
awubona umuzi lo ethuka aphaphatheka esetshaywa luvalo.
6 Trembling it seized them there anguish like [woman] giving birth.
Ahle athuthumela khonapho, ezwa ubuhlungu obuzwiwa ngowesifazane ehelelwa.
7 With a wind of [the] east you shatter ships of Tarshish.
Wena wabatshabalalisa njengemikhumbi yaseThashishi ibhidlizwa ngumoya wempumalanga.
8 Just as we have heard - so we have seen in [the] city of Yahweh of hosts in [the] city of God our God he will establish it until perpetuity (Selah)
Lokho esikuzwileyo yikho esikubonileyo emzini kaThixo uSomandla, emzini kaNkulunkulu wethu: uNkulunkulu uzawuvikela lanini.
9 We have reflected on O God covenant loyalty your in [the] midst of temple your.
Phakathi kwethempeli lakho, Oh Nkulunkulu, siyacabanga ngothando lwakho olungaphuthiyo.
10 Like name your O God so praise your [is] over [the] ends of [the] earth righteousness it is full right [hand] your.
Njengebizo lakho, Oh Nkulunkulu, udumo lwakho lufika emikhawulweni yomhlaba; isandla sakho sokunene sigcwele ukulunga.
11 It will rejoice - [the] mountain of Zion they will be glad [the] daughters of Judah on account of judgments your.
Intaba iZiyoni iyathokoza, imizi yakoJuda iyathaba ngezahlulelo zakho.
12 Go around Zion and go round it count towers its.
Hambahamba eZiyoni, ibhode, bala izilindo zayo eziphezulu,
13 Set heart your - to rampart its walk through fortresses its so that you may recount [it] to a generation later.
nanzelela kuhle imithangala yayo, hlola izinqaba zayo, ukuze ukwazi ukulandisela isizukulwane esizayo.
14 For this - [is] God God our forever and ever he he will guide us on dying.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu lo nguNkulunkulu wethu nini lanini; uzakuba ngumholi wethu lasekupheleni.
