Psalms 128

1 A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka hari nga tangata katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowa: e haere ana i ana ara.

2 When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

E kai hoki koe i te mahinga a ou ringa: e hari koe, a ka tau te pai ki a koe.

3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.

E rite tau wahine ki te waina hua, i roto rawa i tou whare: au tamariki ki nga mahuri oriwa, i nga taha o tau tepu.

4 Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

Na he pera te manaaki mo te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa.

5 The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

Ka Manaakitia koe e Ihowa i Hiona; a e kite koe i te pai o Hiruharama i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe.

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

Ae, e kite koe i nga tamariki a au tamariki. Kia mau te rongo ki a Iharaira.
