Psalms 128

1 Nkunga wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Lusakumunu kuidi batu boso bobo bobo beti kinzika Yave, bandiatilanga mu zinzila ziandi.

A Song of Ascents. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.

2 Ngeyo wela dia mbutu wu kisalu kiaku. Lusakumunu ayi mamboti biela ba biaku.

For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Nketo aku wela ba banga vinu yidi mbozi yiwombo mu khati nzo aku; bana baku banga mintiudila mi olive muyendila mezꞌaku.

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 Buawu bobo buididi mutu wusakumunu, wowo weti kinzika Yave.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth Jehovah.

5 Bika Yave kalusakumuna, tona ku Sioni mu bilumbu bioso bi luzingu lueno; bika lumona mamboti ma Yelusalemi

Jehovah bless thee out of Zion: And see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 ayi bika lumona bana ba bana beno. Bika ndembama yiba vadi Iseli.

Yea, see thou thy children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
