Amahubo 128

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

A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.

2 Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.

For you will eat the labour of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

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

Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

4 Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.

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

May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
