Abụ Ọma 128

1 Abụ nrigo. Ngọzị na-adịrị ndị niile na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị, ndị na-aga ije nʼirube isi nye ya.

A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

2 Ị ga-eri mkpụrụ ọrụ aka gị; ọtụtụ ngọzị na ihe ịga nke ọma ga-abụ nke gị.

The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

3 Nwunye gị ga-adị ka osisi vaịnị na-amị mkpụrụ nʼime ụlọ gị; ụmụ gị ndị ikom ga-adịkwa ka ome osisi oliv gburugburu tebul gị.

Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

4 Otu a ka a ga-esi gọzie nwoke ahụ na-atụ egwu Onyenwe anyị.

Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

5 Ka Onyenwe anyị gọzie gị site na Zayọn ụbọchị niile nke ndụ gị; ka i hụkwa ọdịmma Jerusalem,

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life!

6 ka ị dị ndụ hụ ụmụ ụmụ gị. Ka udo dịrị Izrel.

And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
