Psalms 127

1 Unless Jehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Jehovah guards the city, the watchman wake but in vain.

Solomon kah Tangtlaeng Laa BOEIPA loh im a sak pawt atah a soah aka sa rhoek khaw a poeyoek lam ni a thakthae uh. BOEIPA loh khopuei a hung pawt atah aka hung khaw a poeyoek lam ni a hak.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of toil, for so he gives sleep to his beloved.

A thoh neh hlah uh tih kholaeh daengla aka duem, patangnah buh aka ca nang ham a poeyoek mai ni. Ih pataeng a lungnah taengah ni a paek.

3 Lo, sons are a heritage of Jehovah, and the fruit of the womb is a reward.

C a rhoek he BOEIPA rho neh bungko thaihtae kah thapang ni ne.

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of youth.

Camoe ca rhoek khaw hlangrhalh kut dongkah thaltang bangla om tangloeng.

5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They shall not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Te rhoek neh a liva aka bae sak hlang te tah a yoethen. Vongka kah thunkha neh a oelh uh rhoi vaengah yahpok uh mahpawh.
