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 the LORD; 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 by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table.

4 Ameneyu ndiye munthu wodalitsidwa amene amaopa Yehova.

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

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

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

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

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