Psalms 128

1 A song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes.

Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

2 When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, and it shall be well with thee.

Ngoba uzakudla umsebenzi wezandla zakho; uzathokoza, njalo kuzakuba kuhle kuwe.

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 uzakuba njengevini elithelayo emaceleni endlu yakho, abantwana bakho bazakuba njengamahlumela omhlwathi bezingelezele itafula lakho.

4 Lo, surely thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the Lord.

Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

5 The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy life.

INkosi izakubusisa iseZiyoni, njalo ubone okuhle kweJerusalema insuku zonke zempilo yakho,

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.

yebo, uzabona abantwana babantwana bakho. Ukuthula kakube phezu kukaIsrayeli!
