< Psalms 128 >
1 (Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].
Cantique des montées. Heureux l'homme qui craint Yahweh, qui marche dans ses voies!
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.
Tu te nourris alors du travail de tes mains; tu es heureux et comblé de biens.
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].
Ton épouse est comme une vigne féconde, dans l'intérieur de ta maison; tes fils, comme de jeunes plants d'olivier, autour de ta table.
4 Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.
Voilà comment sera béni l'homme qui craint Yahweh.
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!
Que Yahweh te bénisse de Sion! Puisse-tu voir Jérusalem florissante tous les jours de ta vie!
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!
Puisses-tu voir les enfants de tes enfants! Que la paix soit sur Israël!
