Psalms 128

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

Nkunga wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Lusakumunu kuidi batu boso bobo bobo beti kinzika Yave, bandiatilanga mu zinzila ziandi.

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.

Ngeyo wela dia mbutu wu kisalu kiaku. Lusakumunu ayi mamboti biela ba biaku.

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].

Nketo aku wela ba banga vinu yidi mbozi yiwombo mu khati nzo aku; bana baku banga mintiudila mi olive muyendila mezꞌaku.

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

Buawu bobo buididi mutu wusakumunu, wowo weti kinzika Yave.

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!

Bika Yave kalusakumuna, tona ku Sioni mu bilumbu bioso bi luzingu lueno; bika lumona mamboti ma Yelusalemi

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!

ayi bika lumona bana ba bana beno. Bika ndembama yiba vadi Iseli.
