Zaburi 128

1 Amebarikiwa kila mtu amchaye Yahwe, atembeaye 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 Kazi ya mikono yako, wewe utaifurahia; utabarikiwa na kufanikiwa.

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 katika nyumba yako; wanao watakuwa kama miche ya mimea ya mizeituni wakaapo kuzunguka 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 Ndiyo, hakika, mtu anaye muheshimu Yahwe atabarikiwa.

Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

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

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 Uishi uwaone wana wa wanao. Amani iwe na Israli.

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!
