Mapisarema 128

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

Thou shalt eat the labor 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

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

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity 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. Peace be to Israel!
