Amahubo 99

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

Yahweh, hath become king, Let the peoples, tremble, He is enthroned on the cherubim, Let the earth, shake.

2 Mkhulu uThixo eZiyoni; uphakeme ngaphezu kwezizwe zonke.

Yahweh, in Zion, is great, And, high, is he over all the peoples.

3 Kabadumise ibizo Lakho elikhulu elesabekayo Yena ungcwele.

Let them thank his Name—great and reverend, Holy, is he!

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

Yea, with the strength of a king—justice, he loveth, —Thou, hast established equity, Justice and righteousness in Jacob, thou, hast wrought.

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

Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down at his footstool, Holy, is he!

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

Moses and Aaron, [were] among his priests, And, Samuel, [was] among them who were calling upon his Name, Who were calling upon Yahweh, and, he, used to answer them:

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

In the pillar of cloud, used he to speak unto them, They kept his testimonies, and the statute he gave them.

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

O Yahweh our God! thou, answeredst them, —A pardoning GOD, thou becamest to them, Yet one bringing vengeance on their deeds.

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

Exalt Yahweh our God, And bow down towards his holy mountain, For, holy, is Yahweh our God.
