Amahubo 95

1 Wozani, siyihlabelele iNkosi, senze umsindo wentokozo kulo idwala losindiso lwethu.

The Praise of a Canticle, of David himself. Come, let us exult in the Lord. Let us shout joyfully to God, our Savior.

2 Kasize phambi kobuso bayo ngokubonga, senze umsindo wentokozo kuyo ngezihlabelelo.

Let us anticipate his presence with confession, and let us sing joyfully to him with psalms.

3 Ngoba iNkosi inguNkulunkulu omkhulu, leNkosi enkulu phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

For the Lord is a great God and a great King over all gods.

4 Okusesandleni sayo indawo zomhlaba ezizikileyo, lezingqonga zezintaba zingezayo.

For in his hand are all the limits of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.

5 Olungolwayo ulwandle, yona-ke yalwenza, lezandla zayo zabumba umhlabathi owomileyo.

For the sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

6 Wozani, sikhonze sikhothame, siguqe phambi kweNkosi, umenzi wethu.

Come, let us adore and fall prostrate, and let us weep before the Lord who made us.

7 Ngoba yona inguNkulunkulu wethu, thina-ke singabantu bedlelo layo, lezimvu zesandla sayo. Lamuhla uba lilizwa ilizwi layo,

For he is the Lord our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

8 lingayenzi ibe lukhuni inhliziyo yenu njengekuphikisaneni, njengesukwini lokulinga enkangala,

If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts:

9 lapho oyihlo bangilinga bengihlola, yebo babona umsebenzi wami.

as in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me, though they had seen my works.

10 Iminyaka engamatshumi amane nganengwa yilesisizukulwana ngaze ngathi: Bangabantu abaduhayo enhliziyweni, bona kabazazi indlela zami.

For forty years, I was offended by that generation, and I said: These have always strayed in heart.

11 Engafunga kubo ekuthukutheleni kwami, ngathi: Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.

And these have not known my ways. So I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest.
