Amahubo 99

1 UThixo uyabusa, izizwe kazithuthumele; uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi phakathi kwamakherubhi, umhlaba kawuzamazame.

YHWH has reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubim, the earth shakes.

2 Mkhulu uThixo eZiyoni; uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke.

YHWH [is] great in Zion, And He [is] high over all the peoples.

3 Kabadumise ibizo Lakho elikhulu elesabekayo Yena ungcwele.

They praise Your Name, “Great, and fearful, [it] is holy!”

4 INkosi ilamandla, ithanda ukwahlulela okuhle umisile ukwaba ngemfanelo; kuJakhobe usuwenzile okuqondileyo lokulungileyo.

And the strength of the king Has loved judgment, You have established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, You have done.

5 Dumisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu likhonze phansi kwesihlalo sakhe; yena ungcwele.

Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His footstool, He [is] holy.

6 UMosi lo-Aroni babephakathi kwabaphristi bakhe, uSamuyeli wayekulabo ababelibiza ibizo lakhe; bambiza uThixo Yena wabaphendula.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His Name. They are calling to YHWH, And He answers them.

7 Wabakhulumisa ephakathi kwensika yeyezi; bagcina izimiso zakhe lezimemezelo azitshoyo kubo.

He speaks to them in a pillar of cloud, They have kept His testimonies, And He has given the statute to them.

8 Oh Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu, wabaphendula; ku-Israyeli wawunguNkulunkulu othethelelayo, lanxa wabajezisa ngenxa yezenzo zabo ezimbi.

O YHWH, our God, You have afflicted them, You have been a forgiving God to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

9 Phakamisani uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, limkhonze entabeni yakhe engcwele, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu ungcwele.

Exalt our God YHWH, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For our God YHWH [is] holy!
