Amahubo 128

1 Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking in His ways.

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

You surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to you.

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

Your wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around your table.

4 Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

Behold, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.

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

YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of your life,

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

And see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!
