Amahubo 128

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

Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

2 Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.

For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

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

Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.

4 Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

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

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
