Mapisarema 128

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

BLESSED is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways.

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine 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 by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

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

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

The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.
