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.

Labo abathembela eNkosini banjengentaba iZiyonienganyikinyekiyo, emi kuze kube phakade.

2 Jerusalem! Mountains [are] around her, And YHWH [is] around His people, From now on—even for all time.

Njengezintaba ziyiphahlile iJerusalema, ngokunjalo iNkosi iyabaphahla abantu bayo kusukela kulesisikhathi kuze kube nininini.

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.

Ngoba intonga yobukhosi yobubi kayiyikuhlala phezu kwesabelo sabalungileyo, ukuze abalungileyo bangeluleli izandla zabo kokubi.

4 Do good, O YHWH, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

Nkosi, yenza okuhle kubo abalungileyo lakubo abaqotho enhliziyweni zabo.

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 zabo ezitshekileyo iNkosi izabenza bahambe labenzi bobubi. Ukuthula phezu kukaIsrayeli!
