Psalms 128

1 A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Babusisiwe bonke abamesabayo uThixo, abahamba ngezindlela zakhe.

2 For you will eat by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it will be well with you.

Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.

3 Your wife is like an abundant vine on the sides of your house. Your sons are like young olive trees surrounding your table.

Umkakho wesifazane uzakuba njengevini elithela kakhulu phakathi kwendlu yakho; amadodana akho azakuba njengamahlumela e-oliva esetafuleni yakho.

4 Behold, so will the man be blessed who fears the Lord.

Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

5 May the Lord bless you from Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem, all the days of your life.

Sengathi uThixo angakubusisa eseZiyoni insuku zonke zokuphila kwakho; sengathi ungakubona ukuphumelela kweJerusalema,

6 And may you see the sons of your sons. Peace be upon Israel.

njalo sengathi ungaphila uze ubone isizukulwane sakho. Ukuthula kakube ku-Israyeli.
