Psalms 128

1 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

Ubusisiwe wonke oyesabayo iNkosi, ohamba endleleni zayo.

2 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

Ngoba uzakudla umsebenzi wezandla zakho; uzathokoza, njalo kuzakuba kuhle kuwe.

3 Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

Umkakho uzakuba njengevini elithelayo emaceleni endlu yakho, abantwana bakho bazakuba njengamahlumela omhlwathi bezingelezele itafula lakho.

4 Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

Ngoba khangela, ngokunjalo izabusiswa indoda eyesabayo iNkosi.

5 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

INkosi izakubusisa iseZiyoni, njalo ubone okuhle kweJerusalema insuku zonke zempilo yakho,

6 And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!

yebo, uzabona abantwana babantwana bakho. Ukuthula kakube phezu kukaIsrayeli!
