Amahubo 92
1 Kuhle ukubonga iNkosi, lokuhlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho, wena oPhezukonke;
A psalm, a song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to your name, Most High,
2 ukutshumayela uthandolomusa wakho ekuseni, lothembeko lwakho ebusuku bonke,
to proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
3 ngechacho elilentambo ezilitshumi, langogubhu lwezintambo, ngechacho elikhala kamnandi.
with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
4 Ngoba ungithokozisile, Nkosi, ngomsebenzi wakho; ngizamemeza ngenjabulo ngemisebenzi yezandla zakho.
For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your deeds. I will sing for joy because of the deeds of your hands.
5 Mikhulu kangakanani imisebenzi yakho, Nkosi! Izikile kakhulu imicabango yakho.
How great are your deeds, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 Isiphukuphuku kasazi, lesithutha kasikuqedisisi lokhu.
A brutish person does not know, nor does a fool understand this:
7 Lapho ababi behluma njengotshani, labo bonke abenzi bobubi bekhahlela, kuyikuze babhujiswe kuze kube phakade.
When the wicked sprout like the grass, and even when all the evildoers thrive, still they are doomed to eternal destruction.
8 Kodwa wena, Nkosi, uphakeme kuze kube nininini.
But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
9 Ngoba khangela, izitha zakho, Nkosi, ngoba khangela, izitha zakho zizabhubha; bonke abenzi bobubi bazachitheka.
Indeed, look at your enemies, Yahweh! Indeed, look at your enemies. They will perish! All those who do evil will be scattered.
10 Kodwa uzaphakamisa uphondo lwami njengolwenyathi; ngizagcotshwa ngamafutha amatsha.
You have lifted up my horn like the horn of the wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 Lelihlo lami lizabona isiloyiso sami ezitheni zami, indlebe zami zizakuzwa mayelana lababi abangivukelayo.
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard of the doom of my evil foes.
12 Olungileyo uzahluma njengesihlahla selala, akhule njengomsedari eLebhanoni.
The righteous will flourish like the palm tree; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Abahlanyelwe endlini yeNkosi, bazahluma emagumeni kaNkulunkulu wethu.
They are planted in the house of Yahweh; they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Bazabe belokhu bethela izithelo ebudaleni babo, bakhuluphale babeluhlaza,
They bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh and green,
15 ukutshumayela ukuthi iNkosi iqondile; ilidwala lami, njalo kakukho ukungalungi kiyo.
to proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
