Amahubo 96
1 Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.
A Canticle of David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Hlabelani eNkosini, lidumise ibizo layo, litshumayele usindiso lwayo insuku ngensuku.
Sing to the Lord and bless his name. Announce his salvation from day to day.
3 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
Announce his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all peoples.
4 Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, yona iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He is terrible, beyond all gods.
5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.
For all the gods of the Gentiles are demons, but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.
Confession and beauty are in his sight. Sanctity and magnificence are in his sanctuary.
7 Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
Bring to the Lord, you natives of the nations, bring to the Lord glory and honor.
8 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.
Bring to the Lord glory for his name. Lift up sacrifices, and enter into his courts.
9 Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.
Adore the Lord in his holy court. Let the entire earth be shaken before his face.
10 Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.
Say among the Gentiles: The Lord has reigned. For he has even corrected the whole world, which will not be shaken. He will judge the peoples with fairness.
11 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; let the sea and all its fullness be moved.
12 Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu zizahlabela ngentokozo
The fields and all the things that are in them will be glad. Then all the trees of the forest will rejoice
13 phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.
before the face of the Lord: for he arrives. For he arrives to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with fairness and the peoples with his truth.
