Psalms 128

1 “A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

POMAIKAI ka poe a pau i makau aku ia Iehova, A hele hoi ma kona mau alanui.

2 Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee!

E ai no oe i ka waiwai o kou mau lima, He pomaikai no kou, a he pono no hoi.

3 Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

E like no kau wahine me na kumuwaina hua nui, Ma na aoao o kou hale; E like no hoi kau mau keiki me na laau oliva, E ku puni ana i kou papaaina.

4 Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

Aia hoi! pela e hoopomaikaiia mai ai ke kanaka, Nana e makau aku ia Iehova.

5 Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

E hoomaikai mai o Iehova ia oe mai Ziona mai; A e ike no oe i ka pono o Ierusalema, I na la a pau o kou ola ana.

6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!

E ike no hoi oe i na keiki o kau poe keiki, A me ka maluhia maluna o ka Iseraela.
