Amahubo 128

1 Ingoma yemiqanso. Babusisiwe bonke abamesabayo uThixo, abahamba ngezindlela zakhe.

A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

2 Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

3 Umkakho wesifazane uzakuba njengevini elithela kakhulu phakathi kwendlu yakho; amadodana akho azakuba njengamahlumela e-oliva esetafuleni yakho.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

4 Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

5 Sengathi uThixo angakubusisa eseZiyoni insuku zonke zokuphila kwakho; sengathi ungakubona ukuphumelela kweJerusalema,

May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

6 njalo sengathi ungaphila uze ubone isizukulwane sakho. Ukuthula kakube ku-Israyeli.

that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
