Amahubo 128

1 Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

[A Song of Ascents.] Blessed is everyone who fears Jehovah, who walks in his ways.

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

For you will eat the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, and it will be well with you.

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

Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.

4 Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

Look, thus is the man blessed who fears Jehovah.

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

May Jehovah bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

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