< Amahubo 96 >
1 Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.
Sing to YHWH a new song, Sing to YHWH all the earth.
2 Hlabelani kuThixo, dumisani ibizo lakhe; memezelani insindiso yakhe insuku ngezinsuku.
Sing to YHWH, bless His Name, Proclaim His salvation from day to day.
3 Fakazani ngobukhosi bakhe ezizweni zonke, lemisebenzi yakhe emangalisayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
Declare His glory among nations, His wonders among all the peoples.
4 Ngoba umkhulu uThixo, ufanele ukudunyiswa ngokuphindiweyo; kumele esatshwe ngaphezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over all gods.
5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe, kodwa uThixo wadala amazulu.
For all the gods of the peoples [are] nothing, And YHWH made the heavens.
6 Inkazimulo lobukhosi kuphambi Kwakhe; amandla lobukhosi kusendlini yakhe engcwele.
Splendor and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
7 Mnikeni uThixo, lina zizukulwane zezizwe. Mnikeni uThixo ubukhosi lamandla.
Ascribe to YHWH, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.
8 Mnikeni uThixo udumo olufanele ibizo lakhe. Lethani umnikelo libuye phambi kwakhe.
Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present and come into His courts.
9 Mkhonzeni uThixo enkazimulweni yobungcwele bakhe; thuthumelani phambi kwakhe mhlaba wonke.
Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
10 Wothini phakathi kwezizwe, “UThixo uyabusa.” Umhlaba ugxilile, ungeke wagudluzwa; uzabehlulela abantu ngokubafaneleyo.
Say among nations, “YHWH has reigned, Also—the world is established, unmoved, He judges the peoples in uprightness.”
11 Amazulu kawathokoze, lomhlaba ujabule; ulwandle kaluhlokome, lakho konke okukulo;
The heavens rejoice, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fullness roar.
12 amasimu kawathakazelele lakho konke okukuwo. Lapho-ke izihlahla zonke zeganga zizahlabela ngentokozo;
The field exults, and all that [is] in it, Then all trees of the forest sing,
13 phambi kukaThixo, ngoba uyeza, uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ahlulele abantu ngeqiniso.
Before YHWH, for He has come, For He has come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
