< Psalms 112 >

1 Praise Yahweh! (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who revere him, those who happily obey his commands.
Dumisani iNkosi! Ubusisiwe umuntu oyesabayo iNkosi, othokoza kakhulu ngemithetho yayo.
2 Their children will prosper in their land; and their descendants will be blessed [by God].
Inzalo yakhe izakuba lamandla emhlabeni; isizukulwana sabaqotho sizabusiswa.
3 Their families [MTY] will be very wealthy [DOU], and [the results of] their righteous deeds will endure forever.
Imfuyo lenotho kuzakuba sendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kuzakuma kuze kube nininini.
4 Godly/Righteous people are [like] lights [SIM] that shine in the darkness on those who are kind, merciful and righteous.
Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.
5 Things [will] go well for those who generously lend money to others and who conduct their businesses honestly.
Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.
6 Righteous people will not be overwhelmed/worried/distressed [because of their troubles], and they will never be forgotten [by other people].
Ngoba kayikunyikinywa phakade; olungileyo uzakuba sekukhunjulweni kuze kube nininini.
7 They are not afraid of [receiving] bad news; they confidently/completely trust in Yahweh.
Kayikwesaba umbiko omubi, inhliziyo yakhe iqinile, ithemba eNkosini.
8 They are confident and not afraid, because they know that they will see [God defeat] their enemies.
Isekelwe inhliziyo yakhe, kayikwesaba, aze abone isiloyiso sakhe phezu kwezitha zakhe.
9 They give things generously to poor/needy [people]; [the results of] their kind deeds will endure forever, and they [will] be exalted and honored.
Uhlakazile, uyabanika abayanga; ukulunga kwakhe kumi kuze kube nininini; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiswa ngodumo.
10 Wicked people see those things and are angry; they gnash their teeth [angrily], but they [will] disappear [and die]. The [wicked] things that they want to do [will] never happen.
Omubi uyakubona, athukuthele; agedle amazinyo akhe, ancibilike; isifiso sababi sizabhubha.
