Psalms 128

1 (Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].

Rwiyo rworwendo. Vakaropafadzwa vose vanotya Jehovha, vanofamba munzira dzake.

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.

Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

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].

Mukadzi wako achava somuzambiringa unobereka, pakati peimba yako; vanakomana vako vachaita samabukira omuorivhi, vakakomberedza tafura yako.

4 Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

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!

Jehovha ngaakuropafadzei kubva kuZioni, mazuva ose oupenyu hwenyu; muone henyu kubudirira kweJerusarema,

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!

uye murarame kuti muone vana vavana venyu. Rugare ngaruve pana Israeri.
