Psalms 112

1 Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

Dumisani uThixo. Ubusisiwe umuntu owesaba uThixo, othokoza kakhulu ngemilayo yakhe.

2 Mighty in the earth, shall be his seed, The generation of the upright, shall be blessed;

Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

3 Wealth and riches, shall be in his house, and, his righteousness, standeth for aye.

Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

4 Risen—in darkness, is light to the upright, The gracious and compassionate and righteous.

Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

5 Well for a man showing favour and lending! He shall sustain his affairs with justice.

Ubuhle buzakwehlela kuye ophanayo loweboleka ekhululekile, oqhuba zonke izinto zakhe ngemfanelo.

6 Surely, unto times age-abiding, shall he not be shaken, In remembrance, age-abiding, shall the righteous one remain;

Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

7 Of evil tidings, shall he not be afraid, Established is his heart, led to trust in Yahweh;

Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

8 Upheld is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until that he gazeth on his foes.

Inhliziyo yakhe ikhululekile, akalakwesaba; ekucineni uzakhangela izitha zakhe ngokunqoba.

9 He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the needy, His righteousness, standeth for aye, His horn, shall be exalted in honour.

Uhlakazele izipho zakhe kubayanga ezindaweni zonke, ukulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiselwa phezulu ngenhlonipho.

10 The lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.

Umuntu omubi uzakubona lokhu afuthelane, uzagedla amazinyo akhe, acikizeke emzimbeni; izinkanuko zababi zizaphetha ziyize.
