Mapisarema 128

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

A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

2 Uchadya chibereko chokushanda kwako; maropafadzo nokubudirira zvichava zvako.

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to thee.

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

Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

4 Ndizvo zvakaita munhu akaropafadzwa, anotya Jehovha.

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

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

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

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

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
