Amahubo 148
1 Dumisani uThixo. Dumisani uThixo emazulwini, mdumiseni eziqongweni ngaphezulu.
Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
2 Mdumiseni zingilosi zakhe zonke, mdumiseni lonke mabutho asezulwini.
Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
3 Mdumiseni, langa lenyanga, mdumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhazimulayo.
Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.
4 Mdumiseni lina ziqongo zamazulu lani manzi ngaphezulu komkhathi.
Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Konke kakudumise ibizo likaThixo ngoba yena watsho ilizwi kwadaleka.
They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
6 Wazibeka ezindaweni zazo okwanini lanini; wanika isahlulelo esingela kuguquka.
And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
7 Dumisani uThixo emhlabeni, lina zidalwa zasolwandle lezinziki zalo zonke,
Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
8 umbane lesiqhotho, ungqwaqwane lamayezi, umoya wesiphepho owenza intando yakhe,
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
9 lina zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10 zinyamazana zeganga lenkomo zonke, zinanakazana lezinyoni eziphaphayo,
The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
11 makhosi omhlaba lezizwe zonke, lina makhosana lababusi bonke emhlabeni,
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12 majaha lezintombi, maxhegu labantwana.
Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
13 Kabalidumise ibizo likaThixo, ngoba ibizo lakhe lodwa liphakeme; inkazimulo yakhe ingaphezulu komhlaba lamazulu.
They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.
14 Ubaphakamisele abantu bakhe uphondo, indumiso yabo bonke abathembekileyo bakhe, eka-Israyeli, abantu abasesifubeni sakhe. Dumisani uThixo.
And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
