Psalms 128

1 “A song of the degrees.” 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 labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.

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

3 Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses 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, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.

Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

5 May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

6 And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.

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