Mapisarema 128

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

The song of greces. Blessid ben alle men, that dreden the Lord; that gon in hise weies.

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

For thou schalt ete the trauels of thin hondis; thou art blessid, and it schal be wel to thee.

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

Thi wijf as a plenteous vyne; in the sidis of thin hous. Thi sones as the newe sprenges of olyue trees; in the cumpas of thi bord.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

Lo! so a man schal be blessid; that dredith the Lord.

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

The Lord blesse thee fro Syon; and se thou the goodis of Jerusalem in alle the daies of thi lijf.

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

And se thou the sones of thi sones; se thou pees on Israel.
