Zaburi 128

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Heri ni wale wote wamchao Bwana, waendao katika njia zake.

(Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].

2 Utakula matunda ya kazi yako; baraka na mafanikio vitakuwa vyako.

You will [be able to earn the money] that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.

3 Mke wako atakuwa kama mzabibu uzaao ndani ya nyumba yako; wana wako watakuwa kama machipukizi ya mizeituni kuizunguka meza yako.

Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive [tree that has many] shoots [growing up around it] [SIM].

4 Hivyo ndivyo atakavyobarikiwa mtu amchaye Bwana.

Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

5 Bwana na akubariki kutoka Sayuni siku zote za maisha yako, na uone mafanikio ya Yerusalemu,

I wish/hope that Yahweh will bless all of you from [where he dwells] (on Zion [Hill]/[in Jerusalem]) and that you will see [the people of] Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!

6 nawe ujaliwe kuishi uone watoto wa watoto wako. Amani iwe juu ya Israeli.

I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for [the people in] Israel!
