Amahubo 96
1 Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.
Sing to Adonai a new song! Sing to Adonai, all the earth.
2 Hlabelani eNkosini, lidumise ibizo layo, litshumayele usindiso lwayo insuku ngensuku.
Sing to Adonai! Bless his name! Proclaim his yishu'ah ·salvation· from day to day!
3 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.
Declare his kavod ·weighty glory· among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.
4 Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, yona iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.
For great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all deities.
5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.
For all the deities of the peoples are idols, but Adonai made the heavens.
6 Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.
Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.
Ascribe to Adonai, you families of nations, ascribe to Adonai kavod ·weighty glory· and strength.
8 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.
Ascribe to Adonai the kavod ·weighty glory· due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.
Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship Adonai in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.
Say among the nations, “Adonai reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
12 Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu zizahlabela ngentokozo
Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
13 phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.
before Adonai; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
