Masalimo 128

1 Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Odala ndi onse amene amaopa Yehova, amene amayenda mʼnjira zake.

A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

2 Udzadya chipatso cha ntchito yako; madalitso ndi chuma zidzakhala zako.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Mkazi wako adzakhala ngati mpesa wobereka mʼkati mwa nyumba yako; ana ako adzakhala ngati mphukira za mitengo ya olivi kuzungulira tebulo lako.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Ameneyu ndiye munthu wodalitsidwa amene amaopa Yehova.

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

5 Yehova akudalitse kuchokera mʼZiyoni masiku onse a moyo wako; uwone zokoma za Yerusalemu,

Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

6 ndipo ukhale ndi moyo kuti udzaone zidzukulu zako. Mtendere ukhale ndi Israeli.

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
