Masalimo 128

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

A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

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

The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

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, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

4 Ameneyu ndiye munthu wodalitsidwa amene amaopa Yehova.

Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

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

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

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

And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
