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.

Faarfannaa Ol baʼuu. Faarfannaa Solomoon. Waaqayyo mana ijaaruu baannaan, warri ijaaran akkasumaan dadhabu. Waaqayyo magaalaa eeguu baannaan, warri eegan akkasumaan dhaabachaa bulu.

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.

Isin buddeena dadhabbii guddaan argame nyaachuuf jettanii, barii barraaqaan kaʼuun keessan, turtanii rafuun keessan faayidaa hin qabu; inni warra jaallatuuf utuma isaan rafanii iyyuu waan isaan barbaachisu ni kennaaf.

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

Kunoo, ijoolleen kennaa Waaqayyoo ti; iji gadameessaas badhaasa isaa ti.

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

Ijoolleen dargaggummaa keessa dhalchan, akkuma xiyya harka goota tokkoo keessa jiruu ti.

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.

Namni korojoon isaa xiyyaan guutame eebbifamaa dha. Inni yommuu karra duratti diinota isaatiin falmutti hin qaanaʼu.
