Psalms 128

1 Orin fún ìgòkè. Ìbùkún ni fún gbogbo ẹni tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa: tí ó sì ń rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

2 Nítorí tí ìwọ yóò jẹ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ ìbùkún ni fún ọ; yóò sì dára fún ọ.

Thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands; Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee!

3 Obìnrin rẹ yóò dàbí àjàrà rere eléso púpọ̀ ní àárín ilé rẹ; àwọn ọmọ rẹ yóò dàbí igi olifi tí ó yí tábìlì rẹ ká.

Thy wife shall be like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

4 Kíyèsi i pé, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó bùsi i fún ọkùnrin náà, tí ó bẹ̀rù Olúwa.

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

5 Kí Olúwa kí ó bùsi i fún ọ láti Sioni wá, kí ìwọ kí ó sì máa rí ìre Jerusalẹmu ní ọjọ́ ayé rẹ gbogbo.

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

6 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ kí ó sì máa rí àti ọmọdọ́mọ rẹ. Láti àlàáfíà lára Israẹli.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children. Peace be to Israel!
