Amahubo 128

1 Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

2 Ngoba uzakudla umsebenzi wezandla zakho; uzathokoza, njalo kuzakuba kuhle kuwe.

For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Umkakho uzakuba njengevini elithelayo emaceleni endlu yakho, abantwana bakho bazakuba njengamahlumela omhlwathi bezingelezele itafula lakho.

Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.

4 Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

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

5 INkosi izakubusisa iseZiyoni, njalo ubone okuhle kweJerusalema insuku zonke zempilo yakho,

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 yebo, uzabona abantwana babantwana bakho. Ukuthula kakube phezu kukaIsrayeli!

And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
