Mapisarema 128

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

Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, 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 as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

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

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

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
