Amahubo 95
1 Wozani, siyihlabelele iNkosi, senze umsindo wentokozo kulo idwala losindiso lwethu.
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
2 Kasize phambi kobuso bayo ngokubonga, senze umsindo wentokozo kuyo ngezihlabelelo.
We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 Ngoba iNkosi inguNkulunkulu omkhulu, leNkosi enkulu phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 Okusesandleni sayo indawo zomhlaba ezizikileyo, lezingqonga zezintaba zingezayo.
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 Olungolwayo ulwandle, yona-ke yalwenza, lezandla zayo zabumba umhlabathi owomileyo.
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
6 Wozani, sikhonze sikhothame, siguqe phambi kweNkosi, umenzi wethu.
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7 Ngoba yona inguNkulunkulu wethu, thina-ke singabantu bedlelo layo, lezimvu zesandla sayo. Lamuhla uba lilizwa ilizwi layo,
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 lingayenzi ibe lukhuni inhliziyo yenu njengekuphikisaneni, njengesukwini lokulinga enkangala,
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 lapho oyihlo bangilinga bengihlola, yebo babona umsebenzi wami.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Iminyaka engamatshumi amane nganengwa yilesisizukulwana ngaze ngathi: Bangabantu abaduhayo enhliziyweni, bona kabazazi indlela zami.
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 Engafunga kubo ekuthukutheleni kwami, ngathi: Kabayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami.
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
