Amahubo 97

1 INkosi iyabusa; kawuthokoze umhlaba, kazijabule izihlenge ezinengi.

Yahweh he reigns let it be glad the earth let them rejoice islands many.

2 Amayezi lomnyama kuyiphahlile; ukulunga lesahlulelo kuyisisekelo sesihlalo sayo sobukhosi.

Cloud and thick darkness [are] around him [is] righteousness and justice [the] foundation of throne his.

3 Umlilo uhamba phambi kwayo, utshisa izitha zayo inhlangothi zonke.

Fire before him it goes and it may burn up all around opponents his.

4 Imibane yayo ikhanyisa umhlaba; umhlaba wabona, wathuthumela.

They light up lightning flashes his [the] world it sees and it trembled the earth.

5 Izintaba zancibilika njengengcino phambi kweNkosi, phambi kweNkosi yomhlaba wonke.

Mountains like wax they melt from to before Yahweh from to before [the] lord of all the earth.

6 Amazulu atshumayela ukulunga kwayo, labantu bonke babona inkazimulo yayo.

They declare the heavens righteousness his and they see all the peoples glory his.

7 Bayayangeka bonke abakhonza izithombe, abazikhukhumeza ngezithixo; ikhonzeni, lonke bonkulunkulu.

Let them be ashamed - all [those who] serve an image those [who] boast in worthless idols bow down to him O all gods.

8 IZiyoni yezwa, yathokoza, lamadodakazi akoJuda athaba ngenxa yezahlulelo zakho, Nkosi.

It hears and it rejoiced - Zion and they were glad [the] daughters of Judah on account of judgments your O Yahweh.

9 Ngoba wena, Nkosi, uphakeme phezu komhlaba wonke, uphakanyiswe kakhulu phezu kwabonkulunkulu bonke.

For you O Yahweh [are] most high over all the earth exceedingly you are exalted above all gods.

10 Lina elithanda iNkosi, zondani okubi; iyagcina imiphefumulo yabangcwele bayo, ibakhulule esandleni sababi.

O [you who] love Yahweh hate evil [he is] protecting [the] lives of faithful [people] his from [the] hand of wicked [people] he delivers them.

11 Ukukhanya kuhlanyelelwe olungileyo, lentokozo abaqotho ngenhliziyo.

Light [is] sown for the righteous and for [people] upright of heart joy.

12 Thokozani eNkosini, lina balungileyo, libonge ekukhumbuleni ubungcwele bayo.

Rejoice O righteous [people] in Yahweh and give thanks to [the] remembrance of holiness his.
