Amahubo 96

1 Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.

Sing to Adonai a new song! Sing to Adonai, all the earth.

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

Sing to Adonai! Bless his name! Proclaim his yishu'ah ·salvation· from day to day!

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

Declare his kavod ·weighty glory· among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

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

For great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all deities.

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

For all the deities of the peoples are idols, but Adonai made the heavens.

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

Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

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

Ascribe to Adonai, you families of nations, ascribe to Adonai kavod ·weighty glory· and strength.

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

Ascribe to Adonai the kavod ·weighty glory· due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

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

Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship Adonai in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.

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

Say among the nations, “Adonai reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!

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

Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

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

before Adonai; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
