< Psalmowo 128 >
1 Mɔzɔha. Woayra ame siwo vɔ̃a Yehowa, ame siwo zɔna le eƒe mɔwo dzi.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!
2 Àɖu wò ŋutɔ wò dɔwɔwɔ ƒe kutsetse, eye yayra kple dzidzedze anye tɔwò gome.
Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee!
3 Srɔ̃wò anɔ abe wainka si tse kplanyaa la ene anɔ aƒewò me; viwò ŋutsuwo anɔ abe amitiɖɔmi ene le wò kplɔ̃ ŋu godoo.
Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.
4 Kpɔ ɖa, aleae woyraa ŋutsu si vɔ̃a Yehowa lae.
Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!
5 Yehowa neyra wò tso Zion le wò agbemeŋkekewo katã me, eye àkpɔ Yerusalem ƒe dzidzedze.
Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 Ànɔ agbe akpɔ viwòwo ƒe viwo. Ŋutifafa nenɔ Israel dzi.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
