Amahubo 98

1 Ihubo Hlabelelani uThixo ingoma entsha, ngoba wenzile izinto ezimangalisayo; isandla sakhe sokunene lengalo yakhe engcwele sekumenzele insindiso.

Sing to Adonai a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.

2 UThixo useyenze yaziwa insindiso yakhe waveza ukulunga kwakhe ezizweni.

Adonai has made known his yishu'ah ·salvation·. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3 Uselukhumbule uthando lwakhe lokuthembeka Kwakhe endlini ka-Israyeli; yonke imikhawulo yomhlaba iyibonile insindiso kaNkulunkulu wethu.

He has remembered his chesed ·loving-kindness· and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel [God prevails]. All the ends of the earth have seen the yishu'ah ·salvation· of our God.

4 Hlokomani ngentokozo kuThixo, mhlaba wonke, hlabelani ingoma ngokujabula okukhulu, litshaya amachacho;

Make a joyful noise to Adonai, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing zahmar ·musical praise·!

5 yenzani umsindo kuThixo ngomhubhe, ngomhubhe langomsindo wokuhlabela,

Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to Adonai with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.

6 ngamacilongo langomsindo wophondo lwenqama hlokomani ngentokozo phambi kukaThixo, iNkosi.

With trumpets and sound of the shofar ·ram horn·, make a joyful noise before the King, Adonai.

7 Akuthi ulwandle luhlokome, lakho konke okuphakathi kwalo, umhlaba labo bonke abahlala kuwo.

Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.

8 Akuthi imifula iqakeze izandla zayo, akuthi izintaba zihlabele kanyekanye ngentokozo;

Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.

9 kazihlabele phambi kukaThixo, ngoba Uyeza ukuzakwahlulela umhlaba. Uzakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga labantu bonke ngokufaneleyo.

Let them sing before Adonai, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
