Psalms 128

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

Canto dei pellegrinaggi. Beato chiunque teme l’Eterno e cammina nelle sue vie!

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.

Tu allora mangerai della fatica delle tue mani; sarai felice e prospererai.

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].

La tua moglie sarà come una vigna fruttifera nell’interno della tua casa; i tuoi figliuoli, come piante d’ulivo intorno alla tua tavola.

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

Ecco, così sarà benedetto l’uomo che teme l’Eterno.

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’Eterno ti benedica da Sion, e vedrai il bene di Gerusalemme tutti i giorni della tua vita,

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!

e vedrai i figliuoli dei tuoi figliuoli. Pace sia sopra Israele.
