Psalms 128

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

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

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou 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 inner part of thy house; thy children 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 that feareth Jehovah.

Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

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

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

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

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