Psalms 128

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. O the blessedness of everyone fearing YHWH, Who is walking 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 surely eat the labor of your hands, You [are] blessed, and good [is] to 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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of your house, Your sons as olive plants around 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, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing YHWH.

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

5 YHWH blesses you out of Zion, Look, then, on the good 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 see the sons of your sons! Peace on Israel!

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