< Zaburi 128 >
1 Amebarikiwa kila mtu amchaye Yahwe, atembeaye katika njia zake.
A Canticle in steps. Blessed are all those who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.
2 Kazi ya mikono yako, wewe utaifurahia; utabarikiwa na kufanikiwa.
For you will eat by the labors of your hands. Blessed are you, and it will be well with you.
3 Mke wako atakuwa kama mzabibu uzaao katika nyumba yako; wanao watakuwa kama miche ya mimea ya mizeituni wakaapo kuzunguka meza yako.
Your wife is like an abundant vine on the sides of your house. Your sons are like young olive trees surrounding your table.
4 Ndiyo, hakika, mtu anaye muheshimu Yahwe atabarikiwa.
Behold, so will the man be blessed who fears the Lord.
5 Mungu na akubariki toka Sayuni; na uweze kuona mafanikio ya Yerusalemu siku zote za maisha yako.
May the Lord bless you from Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem, all the days of your life.
6 Uishi uwaone wana wa wanao. Amani iwe na Israli.
And may you see the sons of your sons. Peace be upon Israel.
