Amahubo 96

1 Hlabelani eNkosini ingoma entsha; hlabelelani eNkosini, mhlaba wonke.

Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song; sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

2 Hlabelani eNkosini, lidumise ibizo layo, litshumayele usindiso lwayo insuku ngensuku.

Sing to Yahweh, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.

3 Landisani udumo lwayo phakathi kwezizwe, izimangaliso zayo phakathi kwabantu bonke.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.

4 Ngoba yinkulu iNkosi, ifanele ukudunyiswa kakhulu, yona iyesabeka phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly. He is to be feared above all other gods.

5 Ngoba bonke onkulunkulu bezizwe bayizithombe; kodwa iNkosi yenza amazulu.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.

6 Ubukhosi lenkazimulo kuphambi kwayo, amandla lobuhle kusendlini yayo engcwele.

Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Inikeni iNkosi, zizukulwana zezizwe, inikeni iNkosi udumo lamandla.

Ascribe to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe praise to Yahweh for his glory and strength.

8 Inikeni iNkosi udumo lwebizo layo; lethani umnikelo, lingene emagumeni ayo.

Give to Yahweh the glory that his name deserves. Bring an offering and come into his courts.

9 Ikhonzeni iNkosi ebuhleni bobungcwele; lithuthumele phambi kwayo, mhlaba wonke.

Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Tshonini phakathi kwezizwe: INkosi iyabusa. Lomhlaba umisiwe, kawuyikunyikinyeka; izabahlulela abantu ngokuqonda.

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world also is established; it cannot be shaken. He judges the peoples fairly.

11 Kawathokoze amazulu, lomhlaba ujabule; kaluhlokome ulwandle lokugcwala kwalo.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar and that which fills it shout with joy.

12 Iganga kalithabe lakho konke okukulo. Khona izihlahla zonke zegusu zizahlabela ngentokozo

Let the fields rejoice and all that is in them. Then let all the trees in the forest shout for joy

13 phambi kweNkosi, ngoba iyeza, ngoba iyeza ukwahlulela umhlaba; izakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, labantu ngeqiniso layo.

before Yahweh, for he is coming. He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.
