Mapisarema 128

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

A Song of Ascents. Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

For you will eat the labour of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

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

Your wife will be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house, your children like olive shoots around your table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

Behold, this is how the man who fears the LORD is blessed.

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

May the LORD bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

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

Yes, may you see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
