Amahubo 66
1 Mhubeleni ngentokozo uNkulunkulu, mhlaba wonke.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm.” Shout joyfully unto God. all ye lands!
2 Hlabelani ubukhosi bebizo lakhe, lenze udumo lwakhe lube lenkazimulo.
Sing ye the honor of his name; Make his praise glorious!
3 Tshonini kuNkulunkulu lithi: Yeka ukwesabeka kwezenzo zakho! Ngenxa yobukhulu bamandla akho izitha zakho zizakuthobela ngenkohliso.
Say unto God, How terrible are thy doings! Through the greatness of thy power thine enemies are suppliants to thee!
4 Umhlaba wonke uzakukhonza, uhlabelele kuwe, bahlabelele ibizo lakho. (Sela)
Let all the earth worship thee; Let it sing praise to thee, let it sing praise to thy name! (Pause)
5 Wozani libone izenzo zikaNkulunkulu; uyesabeka ekwenzeni ebantwaneni babantu.
Come, behold the works of God! How terrible his doings among the sons of men!
6 Ulwandle waluphendula lwaba ngumhlaba owomileyo; bachapha umfula ngenyawo. Lapho sathokoza kuye.
He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the deep on foot; Then we rejoiced in him.
7 Ubusa ngamandla akhe kuze kube nininini; amehlo akhe ayazilinda izizwe; abalenkani kabangaziphakamisi. (Sela)
By his power he ruleth for ever; His eyes are fixed upon the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves! (Pause)
8 Bongani uNkulunkulu, zizwe, lizwakalise ilizwi lendumiso yakhe.
O bless our God, ye nations. And make the voice of his praise to be heard!
9 Obeka umphefumulo wethu empilweni, ongavumanga ukuthi unyawo lwethu lutshelele.
It is he who preserveth our lives, And suffereth not our feet to stumble.
10 Ngoba usihlolile, Nkulunkulu, wasicenga njengokucengwa kwesiliva.
Thou hast, indeed, proved us, O God! Thou hast tried us as silver is tried.
11 Wasingenisa embuleni, wabeka inhlupheko enkalweni zethu.
Thou broughtest us into a snare, And didst lay a heavy burden upon our backs;
12 Wenze abantu bagade phezu kwekhanda lethu; sadabula emlilweni lasemanzini, kodwa wasikhuphela endaweni elokunengi.
Thou didst cause men to ride upon our heads, And we have gone through fire and water: But thou hast brought us to a place of abundance.
13 Ngizangena endlini yakho ngileminikelo yokutshiswa; ngizakhokha kuwe izifungo zami,
I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings! I will pay thee my vows, —
14 indebe zami eziziphumisileyo, lomlomo wami ozikhulumileyo ngisekuhluphekeni.
The vows which my lips uttered. Which my mouth promised in my trouble.
15 Ngizanikela kuwe iminikelo yokutshiswa yezinonileyo, kanye lempepha yezinqama; ngizanikela inkomo kanye lezimpongo. (Sela)
Burnt sacrifices of fatlings will I offer to thee with the fat of rams; Bullocks, with he-goats, will I sacrifice to thee. (Pause)
16 Wozani lizwe lina lonke elimesabayo uNkulunkulu, ngizalandisa akwenzele umphefumulo wami.
Come and hear, all ye who fear God, And I will relate what he hath done for me!
17 Ngakhala kuye ngomlomo wami, waphakanyiswa ngaphansi kolimi lwami.
I called upon him with my mouth, And praise is now upon my tongue.
18 Uba benginanze ububi enhliziyweni yami, ibingayikuzwa iNkosi.
If I had meditated wickedness in my heart, The Lord would not have heard me:
19 Qotho uNkulunkulu uzwile, walalela ilizwi lomkhuleko wami.
But surely God hath heard me; He hath had regard to the voice of my supplication.
20 Kabongwe uNkulunkulu, ongabuyiselanga emuva umkhuleko wami, kumbe umusa wakhe kimi.
Blessed be God, who did not reject my prayer, Nor withhold his mercy from me!
