< Psalms 128 >
1 A song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes.
Ingoma yemiqanso. Babusisiwe bonke abamesabayo uThixo, abahamba ngezindlela zakhe.
2 When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee.
Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.
3 Thy wife shalbe as the fruitfull vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the oliue plantes round about thy table.
Umkakho wesifazane uzakuba njengevini elithela kakhulu phakathi kwendlu yakho; amadodana akho azakuba njengamahlumela e-oliva esetafuleni yakho.
4 Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord.
Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.
5 The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy life.
Sengathi uThixo angakubusisa eseZiyoni insuku zonke zokuphila kwakho; sengathi ungakubona ukuphumelela kweJerusalema,
6 Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.
njalo sengathi ungaphila uze ubone isizukulwane sakho. Ukuthula kakube ku-Israyeli.
