Psalms 128

1 (Happy are/Yahweh is pleased with) those of you who revere him and do what he wants you to do [IDM].

Cantique des degrés. Bienheureux quiconque craint l’Éternel, [et] marche dans ses voies!

2 You will [be able to earn the money] that you [MTY] need to buy food; you will be happy and you will be prosperous.

Car tu mangeras du travail de tes mains; tu seras bienheureux, et tu seras entouré de biens.

3 Your wife will be like a grapevine that bears many grapes [SIM]; she will give birth to many children. Your children who sit around your table will be like a strong olive [tree that has many] shoots [growing up around it] [SIM].

Ta femme sera au-dedans de ta maison comme une vigne féconde; tes fils seront comme des plants d’oliviers autour de ta table.

4 Every man who reveres Yahweh will be blessed like that.

Voici, ainsi sera béni l’homme qui craint l’Éternel.

5 I wish/hope that Yahweh will bless all of you from [where he dwells] (on Zion [Hill]/[in Jerusalem]) and that you will see [the people of] Jerusalem prospering every day that you live!

L’Éternel te bénira de Sion. Et puisses-tu voir le bien de Jérusalem tous les jours de ta vie,

6 I desire that you will live many years, long enough to see your grandchildren. I desire/hope that things will go well for [the people in] Israel!

Et voir des fils de tes fils! La paix soit sur Israël!
