Amahubo 75
1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Iculo elithi, “Ungabhidlizi.” Ihubo lika-Asafi. Ingoma. Siletha ukubonga kuwe, Oh Nkulunkulu, siletha ukubonga, ngoba iBizo lakho liseduze; abantu bakhuluma ngemisebenzi Yakho emangalisayo.
To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. To you, O God, we give praise, to you we give praise: and those who give honour to your name make clear your works of power.
2 Wena uthi, “Ngikhetha isikhathi esimisiweyo; yimi engahlulela okuqondileyo.
When the right time has come, I will be the judge in righteousness.
3 Nxa umhlaba kanye labantu bawo kuzamazama, yimi engizibamba ziqine izisekelo zawo.
When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah)
4 Ngithi kwabayiziqholo, ‘Lingabe lisazincoma,’ ngithi kwababi, ‘Lingaziphakamisi impondo zenu.
I say to the men of pride, Let your pride be gone: and to the sinners, Let not your horn be lifted up.
5 Lingaphakamiseli uphondo lwenu phezulu ezulwini; lingakhulumi liziqhenya.’”
Let not your horn be lifted up: let no more words of pride come from your outstretched necks.
6 Kakho ovela empumalanga loba entshonalanga, kumbe ovela enkangala ongaphakamisa umuntu.
For honour does not come from the east, or from the west, or uplifting from the south;
7 Kodwa nguNkulunkulu owahlulelayo: uyamehlisa omunye, amkhweze omunye.
But God is the judge, putting down one, and lifting up another.
8 Esandleni sikaThixo kukhona inkezo egcwele iwayini eliphuphumayo elixutshwe ngeziyoliso; uyalithulula, kuthi bonke ababi bomhlaba balinathe kanye lenzece zalo.
For in the hand of the Lord is a cup, and the wine is red; it is well mixed, overflowing from his hand: he will make all the sinners of the earth take of it, even to the last drop.
9 Kodwa mina ngizamemezela lokhu lanini; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,
But I will ever be full of joy, making songs of praise to the God of Jacob.
10 yena othi, “Ngizazithulisa zonke impondo zababi, kodwa impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.”
By him will all the horns of the sinners be cut off; but the horns of the upright will be lifted up.
