< Thaburi 128 >
1 Thaburi ya Agendi Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ o wothe wĩtigĩrĩte Jehova, o ũcio ũgeragĩra njĩra ciake.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!
2 Nĩũkarĩĩaga maciaro ma wĩra waku; irathimo na kũgaacĩra nĩigatuĩka ciaku.
Thou shalt eat the labor 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.
4 Ũguo nĩguo mũndũ arĩrathimagwo, ũrĩa wĩtigĩrĩte Jehova.
Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!
5 Jehova arokũrathimaga arĩ Zayuni matukũ mothe ma muoyo waku; ũroona kũgaacĩra kwa Jerusalemu,
Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 na ũtũũre muoyo, ũkoona ciana cia ciana ciaku. Thayũ ũrogĩa Isiraeli.
Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
