Mapisarema 128

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

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

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thy hands; happy shalt thou 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 inner part of thy house; thy children like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

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

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

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

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

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