Psalms 128

1 A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

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

2 You shall eat the labors of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.

Lizakudla izithelo zomsebenzi wenu; izibusiso lokuphumelela kuzakuba ngokwenu.

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.

Umkakho wesifazane uzakuba njengevini elithela kakhulu phakathi kwendlu yakho; amadodana akho azakuba njengamahlumela e-oliva esetafuleni yakho.

4 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.

Ibusisiwe kanjalo indoda eyesaba uThixo.

5 May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

6 And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

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