Mapisarema 128

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

A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

You shall eat the labours of your hands: blessed are you, and it shall be well with you.

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

Your wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of your house: your children as young olive-plants round about your table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that fears the Lord.

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

May the Lord bless you out of Sion; and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

And may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
