Amahubo 128

1 Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

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

You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

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

Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

4 Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

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

The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

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

You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
