Amahubo 128

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

“A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.

2 Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.

When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, 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 is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

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

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

May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
