Amahubo 1

1 Ubusisiwe umuntu ongahambi ngezeluleko zababi; ongemiyo endleleni yezoni; ongahlaliyo esihlalweni sabaklolodayo.

blessed [the] man which not to go: walk in/on/with counsel wicked and in/on/with way: conduct sinner not to stand: stand and in/on/with seat to mock not to dwell

2 Kodwa ukuthokoza kwakhe kusemthethweni kaThixo, futhi unakana ngomthetho wakhe imini lobusuku.

that if: except if: except in/on/with instruction LORD pleasure his and in/on/with instruction his to mutter by day and night

3 Unjengesihlahla esihlanyelwe emifuleni yamanzi, esithela izithelo zaso ngesikhathi saso, ohlamvu laso kalibuni. Konke akwenzayo kuyaphumelela.

and to be like/as tree to transplant upon stream water which fruit his to give: give in/on/with time his and leaf his not to wither and all which to make: do to prosper

4 Ababi kabanjalo! Banjengamakhoba aphetshulwa ngumoya.

not so [the] wicked that if: except if: except like/as chaff which to drive him spirit: breath

5 Ngakho ababi kabayikuma ekwahlulelweni, noma izoni enkundleni yabalungileyo.

upon so not to arise: establish wicked in/on/with justice: judgement and sinner in/on/with congregation righteous

6 Ngoba uThixo uyayilinda indlela yabalungileyo, kodwa indlela yababi iya ekubhujisweni.

for to know LORD way: journey righteous and way: journey wicked to perish
