Amahubo 76

1 Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kusetshenziswa iziginci. Ihubo lika-Asafi. Ingoma. Uyaziwa uNkulunkulu koJuda ibizo lakhe likhulu ko-Israyeli.

Unto the end. With Praises. A Psalm of Asaph. A Canticle to the Assyrians. In Judea, God is known. In Israel, his name is great.

2 Ithente lakhe liseSalema, indawo yakhe yokuhlala iseZiyoni.

And his place has been formed with peace. And his dwelling place is in Zion.

3 Khonapho wayephula imitshoko ebenyezelayo, izihlangu lezinkemba, izikhali zempi.

In that place, he has broken the powers of the bows, the shield, the sword, and the battle.

4 Uyakhazimula ngokukhanya, ulobukhosi obudlula izintaba ezigcwele izinyamazana.

You illuminate wondrously from the mountains of eternity.

5 Amadoda alezibindi alele ucaca aphangiwe, alele ubuthongo bawo bokucina; kakho loyedwa wamabutho lawo ongaphakamisa izandla zakhe.

All the foolish of heart have been disturbed. They have slept their sleep, and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.

6 Uthi ungakhwaza wena, Oh Nkulunkulu kaJakhobe, ibhiza lenqola kuhle kulale phansi kuthi zwi.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, those who were mounted on horseback have fallen asleep.

7 Wena wedwa uyesatshwa. Ngubani ongema phambi kwakho nxa usuthukuthele?

You are terrible, and so, who can withstand you? From thence is your wrath.

8 Wathi usezulwini wehlisa ukwahlulela kwakho, ilizwe lesaba lathula,

You have caused judgment to be heard from heaven. The earth trembled and was quieted,

9 lapho wena, Oh Nkulunkulu, waphakama ukwahlulela, ukusindisa bonke abahluphekayo belizwe.

when God rose up in judgment in order to bring salvation to all the meek of the earth.

10 Ngempela ulaka lwakho ebantwini lukulethela indumiso, kuthi bonke abasilileyo elakeni lwakho bathotshiswe.

For the thinking of man will confess to you, and the legacy of his thinking will keep a feast day to you.

11 Yenzani izifungo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu lizigcwalise; akuthi wonke amazwe abomakhelwana alethe izipho kuye Yedwa omele esatshwe.

Make vows and pay them to the Lord, your God. All you who surround him bring gifts: to him who is terrible,

12 Uyephula ubuqholo bababusi; uyesatshwa ngamakhosi omhlaba.

even to him who takes away the spirit of leaders, to him who is terrible with the kings of the earth.
