< Psalms 128 >
1 Blessed are all who fear Jehovah, who walk in his ways.
Ingoma yemiqanso. Babusisiwe bonke abamesabayo uThixo, abahamba ngezindlela zakhe.
2 For thou shall eat the labor of thy hands. Happy thou shall be, and it shall be well with thee.
Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.
Umkakho wesifazane uzakuba njengevini elithela kakhulu phakathi kwendlu yakho; amadodana akho azakuba njengamahlumela e-oliva esetafuleni yakho.
4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah.
Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.
5 Jehovah bless thee out of Zion, and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
Sengathi uThixo angakubusisa eseZiyoni insuku zonke zokuphila kwakho; sengathi ungakubona ukuphumelela kweJerusalema,
6 Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.
njalo sengathi ungaphila uze ubone isizukulwane sakho. Ukuthula kakube ku-Israyeli.
