Amahubo 96

1 Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.

Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

2 Hlabelani kuThixo, dumisani ibizo lakhe; memezelani insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.

Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day.

3 Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.

Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples.

4 Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods.

5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

6 Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe; amandla lobukhosi kusendlini yakhe engcwele.

Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.

Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

8 Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe.

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;

9 Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe; thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke.

Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Wothini phakathi kwezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.” Umhlaba ugxilile, ungeke wagudluzwa; uzabehlulela abantu ngokubafaneleyo.

Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

11 Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule; ulwandle kaluhlokome, lakho konke okukulo;

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

12 amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo. Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo;

Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

13 phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza, uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ahlulele abantu ngeqiniso.

Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
