Zaburi 128

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

“A song of the degrees.” 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 labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, 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 is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Ndiyo, hakika, mtu anaye muheshimu Yahwe atabarikiwa.

Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth the Lord.

5 Mungu na akubariki toka Sayuni; na uweze kuona mafanikio ya Yerusalemu siku zote za maisha yako.

May the Lord bless thee out of Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
