Psalms 128

1 BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

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

2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine 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 by the sides of thine 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, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

5 The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Sengathi uThixo angakubusisa eseZiyoni insuku zonke zokuphila kwakho; sengathi ungakubona ukuphumelela kweJerusalema,

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

njalo sengathi ungaphila uze ubone isizukulwane sakho. Ukuthula kakube ku-Israyeli.
