Amahubo 128

1 Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.

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

For you will eat the labour of your hands. You will be happy, 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 shoots around your table.

4 Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.

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

May the LORD 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.
