Amahubo 128

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

A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2 Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.

For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: happy [shalt] thou be, 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 [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table.

4 Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

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

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

The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.
