Amahubo 75

1 Siyakubonga, Nkulunkulu, siyabonga, ukuthi ibizo lakho liseduze, iyalandisa imisebenzi yakho emangalisayo.

To the choirmaster al-tashcheth a psalm of Asaph a song. We give thanks to you - O God we give thanks and [is] near name your people recount wonders your.

2 Lapho ngisemukela isikhathi esimisiweyo ngizakwahlulela ngokuqonda.

If I will take an appointed time I uprightness I will judge.

3 Umhlaba labo bonke abakhileyo kuwo kuncibilikile; mina ngiqinisa insika zawo. (Sela)

[are] melting away [the] earth And all inhabitants its I I put in order pillars its (Selah)

4 Ngathi kwabayiziwula: Lingabi yiziwula. Lakwababi: Lingaphakamisi uphondo.

I say to the boasters may not you boast and to the wicked [people] may not you lift up a horn.

5 Lingaphakamiseli phezulu uphondo lwenu, lingakhulumi ngentamo elukhuni.

May not you lift up to the height horn your may you speak with a neck arrogance.

6 Ngoba ukuphakanyiswa kakuveli empumalanga kumbe entshonalanga njalo hatshi enkangala.

For not [is] from [the] going out and from [the] setting place and not from [the] wilderness exaltation.

7 Kodwa uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli, uyehlisa omunye, aphakamise omunye.

For God [is the] judge this one he brings low and this one he lifts up.

8 Ngoba esandleni seNkosi kulenkezo; lewayini liphuphuma, ligcwele inhlanganiso; iyathulula okwalo; kodwa izibhidi zalo, ababi bonke bomhlaba bazazihluza bazinathe.

For a cup [is] in [the] hand of Yahweh and wine it is foaming - full spiced drink and he has poured out some of this surely dregs its they will drain they will drink all [the] wicked [people] of [the] earth.

9 Kodwa mina ngizatshumayela njalonjalo, ngihlabele indumiso kuNkulunkulu kaJakobe.

And I I will declare for ever I will sing praises to [the] God of Jacob.

10 Njalo zonke impondo zababi ngizaziquma; impondo zabalungileyo zizaphakanyiswa.

And all [the] horns of wicked [people] I will cut off they will be lifted up [the] horns of [the] righteous.
