Amahubo 112

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

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.

2 Abantwabakhe bazaba lamandla elizweni; isizukulwane soqotho sizabusiswa.

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

3 Inotho lenzuzo kusendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kumi laphakade.

Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.

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

To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.

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

Acceptable is the man that showeth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:

6 Ngeqiniso kayikunyikinyeka; umuntu olungileyo uzakhunjulwa lanininini.

Because he shall not be moved for ever.

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

The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not hear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:

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

His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.

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

He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.

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

The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
