Mapisarema 128

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

A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

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

Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

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

The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

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

You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
