Amahubo 96
1 Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.
Sing to the Lord a new song! All the earth, sing to the Lord!
2 Hlabelani eNkosini, lidumise ibizo layo, litshumayele usindiso lwayo insuku ngensuku.
Sing to the Lord, and of his wonderful reputation! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!
3 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.
4 Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, yona iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.
5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.
For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!
6 Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.
Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.
8 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.
Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.
Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.
10 Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.
Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.
11 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.
Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!
12 Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu zizahlabela ngentokozo
Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.
13 phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.
In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations with his truth.
