Amahubo 96

1 Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.

Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.

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

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.

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

Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.

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

For the Lord is great, and greatly 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 nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.

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

Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

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

Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.

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

Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.

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

Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.

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

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in 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, with all that filleth it.

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 the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
