Psalms 128

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

Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

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

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

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

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

Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

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

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

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

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