Mapisarema 128

1 Rwiyo rworwendo. Vakaropafadzwa vose vanotya Jehovha, vanofamba munzira dzake.

Blessed are all who fear Jehovah, who walk in his ways.

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

For thou shall eat the labor of thy hands. Happy thou shall be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Mukadzi wako achava somuzambiringa unobereka, pakati peimba yako; vanakomana vako vachaita samabukira omuorivhi, vakakomberedza tafura yako.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah.

5 Jehovha ngaakuropafadzei kubva kuZioni, mazuva ose oupenyu hwenyu; muone henyu kubudirira kweJerusarema,

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

6 uye murarame kuti muone vana vavana venyu. Rugare ngaruve pana Israeri.

Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.
