Amahubo 96

1 Hlabelani kuThixo ingoma entsha; hlabelani kuThixo mhlaba wonke.

Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth.

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

Sing to the Lord, bless his name, from day to day herald his victory.

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

Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

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

For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, 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 created the heavens.

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

Before him are splendor and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.

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

Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.

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

Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble before him, all the earth.

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

Say to the nations, “The Lord is king.” The world stands firm to be shaken no more. He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.

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

Let the field, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their joy

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

before the Lord: for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
