Psalms 128

1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk 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 You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.

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

3 Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your 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, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.

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

5 May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your 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 may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

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