Amahubo 128

1 Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

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

For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands: happy shalt thou be, 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 shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table.

4 Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

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

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

The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
