Psalms 112

1 Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

2 His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

3 Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

4 Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

5 It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

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

6 For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

7 He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

8 His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

9 He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

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

10 The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.

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