Psalms 128

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

Blessed is every one that feareth Yhwh; that walketh in his ways.

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

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

4 Buawu bobo buididi mutu wusakumunu, wowo weti kinzika Yave.

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth Yhwh.

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

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

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

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