Amahubo 148
1 Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.
Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
2 Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.
Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
4 Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
5 Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.
Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
6 Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.
He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
7 Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
8 umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,
Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
9 lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
10 zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,
Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
11 makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,
Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
12 majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.
Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
13 Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.
For his name alone is exalted.
14 Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
