Amahubo 112

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

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man that feareth Jehovah, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

His seed shall be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house; and his righteousness abideth for ever.

4 Lasebumnyameni kuyavela ukukhanya kwabaqotho, emuntwini olomusa, olesihawu lolungileyo.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

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

It is well with the man that is gracious and lendeth; he will sustain his cause in judgment.

6 Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

For he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 Akayikwesaba imibiko emibi; inhliziyo yakhe ichumile, yethembele kuThixo.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed confiding in Jehovah;

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

His heart is maintained, he is not afraid, until he see [his desire] upon his oppressors.

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

He scattereth abroad, he giveth to the needy; his righteousness abideth for ever: his horn shall be exalted with honour.

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

The wicked [man] shall see [it] and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
