Zaburi 128

1 Amebarikiwa kila mtu amchaye Yahwe, atembeaye katika njia zake.

A Song of degrees. Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

2 Kazi ya mikono yako, wewe utaifurahia; utabarikiwa na kufanikiwa.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine 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 by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Ndiyo, hakika, mtu anaye muheshimu Yahwe atabarikiwa.

Behold, that 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 shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 Uishi uwaone wana wa wanao. Amani iwe na Israli.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, [and] peace upon Israel.
