< Thaburi 128 >
1 Thaburi ya Agendi Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ o wothe wĩtigĩrĩte Jehova, o ũcio ũgeragĩra njĩra ciake.
A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.
2 Nĩũkarĩĩaga maciaro ma wĩra waku; irathimo na kũgaacĩra nĩigatuĩka ciaku.
When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Mũtumia waku egũtuĩka ta mũthabibũ ũrĩa ũciaraga mũno arĩ kũu nyũmba-inĩ yaku thĩinĩ; ciana ciaku ituĩke ta thuuna cia mũtamaiyũ ithiũrũrũkĩirie metha yaku.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
4 Ũguo nĩguo mũndũ arĩrathimagwo, ũrĩa wĩtigĩrĩte Jehova.
Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5 Jehova arokũrathimaga arĩ Zayuni matukũ mothe ma muoyo waku; ũroona kũgaacĩra kwa Jerusalemu,
The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 na ũtũũre muoyo, ũkoona ciana cia ciana ciaku. Thayũ ũrogĩa Isiraeli.
And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
