Psalms 128

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

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

2 When thou eatest 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 innermost parts 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, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

5 The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou 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.
