Psalms 128

1 A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

He waiata; he pikitanga. Ka hari nga tangata katoa e wehi ana i a Ihowa: e haere ana i ana ara.

2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

E kai hoki koe i te mahinga a ou ringa: e hari koe, a ka tau te pai ki a koe.

3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

E rite tau wahine ki te waina hua, i roto rawa i tou whare: au tamariki ki nga mahuri oriwa, i nga taha o tau tepu.

4 Behold, this is how the man who fears Yahweh is blessed.

Na he pera te manaaki mo te tangata e wehi ana i a Ihowa.

5 May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

Ka Manaakitia koe e Ihowa i Hiona; a e kite koe i te pai o Hiruharama i nga ra katoa e ora ai koe.

6 Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.

Ae, e kite koe i nga tamariki a au tamariki. Kia mau te rongo ki a Iharaira.
