Amahubo 96
1 Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.
A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Hlabelani kuThixo, dumisani ibizo lakhe; memezelani insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.
Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.
4 Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.
For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe; amandla lobukhosi kusendlini yakhe engcwele.
Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.
7 Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.
Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:
8 Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe.
Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:
9 Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe; thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke.
Adore ye the Lord in his holy court. Let all the earth be moved at his presence.
10 Wothini phakathi kwezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.” Umhlaba ugxilile, ungeke wagudluzwa; uzabehlulela abantu ngokubafaneleyo.
Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.
11 Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule; ulwandle kaluhlokome, lakho konke okukulo;
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:
12 amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo. Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo;
The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice
13 phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza, uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ahlulele abantu ngeqiniso.
Before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.
