< Psalms 125 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Those trusting in YHWH [are] as Mount Zion, It is not moved—it abides for all time.
Ingoma yemiqanso. Labo abamethembayo uThixo banjengentaba iZiyoni, yona enganyikinyekiyo, emi kuze kube laphakade.
2 Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.
Njengezintaba ezigombolozele iJerusalema, ngokunjalo uThixo uzungeza abantu bakhe manje kuze kube laphakade.
3 For the rod of wickedness does not rest on the lot of the righteous, That the righteous do not put forth their hands on iniquity.
Intonga yobukhosi eyababi kayiyikusala ezweni elabelwe abalungileyo, ngoba abalungileyo bangaqabuka sebesebenzisa izandla zabo ukwenza okubi.
4 Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.
Yenza okuhle, awu Thixo, kulabo abalungileyo, kulabo abaqotho enhliziyweni
5 As for those turning [to] their crooked ways, YHWH causes them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!
kodwa labo abaphambukela ezindleleni ezitshekileyo uThixo uzabaxotsha kanye labenzi bobubi. Ukuthula kakube ku-Israyeli.
