Sòm 128

1 Yon chan pou monte vè tanp lan. A la beni se tout (sila) ki gen lakrent SENYÈ yo, ki mache nan chemen Li yo.

A Song of degrees. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, that walketh in his ways.

2 Lè ou manje nan fwi a men ou yo, ou va kontan e sa va ale byen pou ou.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Madanm ou ap tankou yon chan rezen ki bay anpil rezen lakay ou. Pitit ou yo va tankou plan bwa doliv ki antoure tab ou.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Gade byen, paske se konsa nonm ki krent SENYÈ a va beni.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Jehovah.

5 Ke SENYÈ a beni ou depi nan Sion; ke ou wè pwosperite Jérusalem nan pandan tout jou lavi ou yo!

Jehovah will bless thee out of Zion; and mayest thou see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life,

6 Wi, pou ou ka wè pitit a pitit ou yo! Ke lapè rete sou Israël!

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
