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.
Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.
2 Wena uthi, “Ngikhetha isikhathi esimisiweyo; yimi engahlulela okuqondileyo.
While I have time, I will judge justices.
3 Nxa umhlaba kanye labantu bawo kuzamazama, yimi engizibamba ziqine izisekelo zawo.
The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.
4 Ngithi kwabayiziqholo, ‘Lingabe lisazincoma,’ ngithi kwababi, ‘Lingaziphakamisi impondo zenu.
I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”
5 Lingaphakamiseli uphondo lwenu phezulu ezulwini; lingakhulumi liziqhenya.’”
Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.
6 Kakho ovela empumalanga loba entshonalanga, kumbe ovela enkangala ongaphakamisa umuntu.
For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.
7 Kodwa nguNkulunkulu owahlulelayo: uyamehlisa omunye, amkhweze omunye.
For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.
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, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.
9 Kodwa mina ngizamemezela lokhu lanini; ngizahlabelela indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakhobe,
But I will announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.
10 yena othi, “Ngizazithulisa zonke impondo zababi, kodwa impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.”
And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.
