Amahubo 1

1 Ubusisiwe umuntu ongahambi ngezeluleko zababi; ongemiyo endleleni yezoni; ongahlaliyo esihlalweni sabaklolodayo.

How blessed! [is] the person who - not he walks in [the] counsel of wicked [people] and in [the] way of sinners not he stands and in [the] seat of mockers not he sits.

2 Kodwa ukuthokoza kwakhe kusemthethweni kaThixo, futhi unakana ngomthetho wakhe imini lobusuku.

That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.

3 Unjengesihlahla esihlanyelwe emifuleni yamanzi, esithela izithelo zaso ngesikhathi saso, ohlamvu laso kalibuni. Konke akwenzayo kuyaphumelela.

And he is like a tree planted at streams of water which fruit its - it gives at appropriate time its and leafage its not it withers and all that he does it succeeds.

4 Ababi kabanjalo! Banjengamakhoba aphetshulwa ngumoya.

Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.

5 Ngakho ababi kabayikuma ekwahlulelweni, noma izoni enkundleni yabalungileyo.

There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].

6 Ngoba uThixo uyayilinda indlela yabalungileyo, kodwa indlela yababi iya ekubhujisweni.

For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.
