Mapisarema 128

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

A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.

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

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.

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

May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,

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

that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
