Amahubo 128

1 Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

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

You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.

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

Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.

4 Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

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

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

May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
