Gesami Hea:su 127

1 Hina Gode da diasu hame gagui ganiaba, diasu gagui dunu ilia hawa: hamomu da hamedela: loba. Hina Gode da moilai bai bagade hame gaga: i ganiaba, sosodo aligisu dunu da udigili sosodo aligila: loba.

A Song of Ascents. Solomon’s. If, Yahweh, build not the house, in vain, have the builders of it toiled thereon, If, Yahweh, watch not the city, in vain, hath the watchman kept awake:

2 Abuliba: le hahabedafa wa: legadole, bagadewane hawa: hamonana gasimogoa fawane bu golama: bela: ? Bai Hina Gode Ea dogolegei fi dunu ilia da golai dialeawane, E da ilia ha: i manu amola labe liligi huluane ilima iaha.

Vain for you, —to be early in rising, to be late in lying down, to be eating the bread of wearisome toil, So, would he give his beloved one sleep.

3 Mano ilia da Hina Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi. E da nini hahawane ba: ma: ne, mano ninima iaha.

Lo! an inheritance from Yahweh, are children, A reward, the fruit of the womb:

4 Nowa da ayeligiawane, dunu mano lalelegesea, amo dunu mano da dadi gagui dunuga ea dadi hodo gagui agoai ba: sa.

As arrows in the hand of a warrior, so, are the children of young men.

5 Nowa da amo dadi hodo bagohame gagusia, e da hahawane bagade gala. E da ea ha lai dunu amo fofada: su diasuga fofada: sea, ilia da ema hamedafa hasalasimu.

How happy the man who hath filled his quiver with them! They will not be ashamed, but will speak with enemies in the gate.
