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 the degrees.” Happy is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh in his ways.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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