Psalms 128

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

A Song of Ascents. How happy is every one that revereth Yahweh, who walketh in his ways!

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

The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

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, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house, —Thy children, like plantings of olive-trees, round about thy table.

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

Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh.

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.

Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion, —and behold thou the welfare 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.

And behold thou thy children’s children, —Prosperity on Israel!
