< Amahubo 112 >
1 Dumisani iNkosi! Ubusisiwe umuntu oyesabayo iNkosi, othokoza kakhulu ngemithetho yayo.
Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.
2 Inzalo yakhe izakuba lamandla emhlabeni; isizukulwana sabaqotho sizabusiswa.
His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.
3 Imfuyo lenotho kuzakuba sendlini yakhe, lokulunga kwakhe kuzakuma kuze kube nininini.
Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.
4 Kuyabaphumela abaqotho ukukhanya emnyameni; ilomusa lesihawu lokulunga.
Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.
5 Umuntu olungileyo ngolesisa lowebolekisayo, wenza izindaba zakhe ngokulunga.
It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.
6 Ngoba kayikunyikinywa phakade; olungileyo uzakuba sekukhunjulweni kuze kube nininini.
For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.
7 Kayikwesaba umbiko omubi, inhliziyo yakhe iqinile, ithemba eNkosini.
He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.
8 Isekelwe inhliziyo yakhe, kayikwesaba, aze abone isiloyiso sakhe phezu kwezitha zakhe.
His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.
9 Uhlakazile, uyabanika abayanga; ukulunga kwakhe kumi kuze kube nininini; uphondo lwakhe luzaphakanyiswa ngodumo.
He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.
10 Omubi uyakubona, athukuthele; agedle amazinyo akhe, ancibilike; isifiso sababi sizabhubha.
The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
