< Zaburi 128 >
1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Heri ni wale wote wamchao Bwana, waendao katika njia zake.
“A song of the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.
2 Utakula matunda ya kazi yako; baraka na mafanikio vitakuwa vyako.
When thou eatest the labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Mke wako atakuwa kama mzabibu uzaao ndani ya nyumba yako; wana wako watakuwa kama machipukizi ya mizeituni kuizunguka meza yako.
Thy wife is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.
4 Hivyo ndivyo atakavyobarikiwa mtu amchaye Bwana.
Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.
5 Bwana na akubariki kutoka Sayuni siku zote za maisha yako, na uone mafanikio ya Yerusalemu,
May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
6 nawe ujaliwe kuishi uone watoto wa watoto wako. Amani iwe juu ya Israeli.
And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
