< Psalms 128 >

1 (Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].
تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ طُوبَاكَ يَا مَنْ تَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ وَتَسْلُكُ فِي طُرُقِهِ.١
2 You will [be able to earn the money] that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.
لأَنَّكَ تَأْكُلُ مِنْ تَعَبِ يَدَيْكَ وَتَتَمَتَّعُ بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَالْخَيْرِ.٢
3 Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive [tree that has many] shoots [growing up around it] [SIM].
تَكُونُ امْرَأَتُكَ كَكَرْمَةٍ مُثْمِرَةٍ فِي جَوَانِبِ بَيْتِكَ، وَأَبْنَاؤُكَ كَأَغْرَاسِ الزَّيْتُونِ حَوْلَ مَائِدَتِكَ.٣
4 Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.
هَكَذَا يُبَارَكُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَتَّقِي الرَّبَّ.٤
5 I wish/hope that Yahweh will bless all of you from [where he dwells] (on Zion [Hill]/[in Jerusalem]) and that you will see [the people of] Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!
يُبَارِكُكَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ، حَتَّى تَشْهَدَ خَيْرَ أُورُشَلِيمَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِكَ،٥
6 I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for [the people in] Israel!
وَتَعِيشَ لِتَرَى أَحْفَادَكَ. وَلْيَكُنْ لِشَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ سَلامٌ.٦
