< Zaburi 128 >
1 Amebarikiwa kila mtu amchaye Yahwe, atembeaye katika njia zake.
A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.
2 Kazi ya mikono yako, wewe utaifurahia; utabarikiwa na kufanikiwa.
When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Mke wako atakuwa kama mzabibu uzaao katika nyumba yako; wanao watakuwa kama miche ya mimea ya mizeituni wakaapo kuzunguka meza yako.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.
4 Ndiyo, hakika, mtu anaye muheshimu Yahwe atabarikiwa.
Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.
5 Mungu na akubariki toka Sayuni; na uweze kuona mafanikio ya Yerusalemu siku zote za maisha yako.
The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;
6 Uishi uwaone wana wa wanao. Amani iwe na Israli.
And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
