Psalms 127

1 A Song of Degrees. Except the Lord build the house, they that build labour in vain: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches in vain.

kathutkung: Solomon BAWIPA ni im sak hoeh pawiteh, ka tawk e pueng ni ayawmyin doeh a tawk awh. BAWIPA ni kho ring hoeh pawiteh, ka ring e pueng ni ayawmyin doeh a ring awh.

2 It is vain for you to rise early: ye rise up after resting, ye that eat the bread of grief; while he gives sleep to his beloved.

Amom ka thaw niteh, karumsaning torei ka ip niteh, nget ka tawn lah tawk laihoi ka cat nakunghai, ayawmyin doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Bawipa ni a pahren e naw koe duedue inae a poe.

3 Behold, the inheritance of the Lord, children, the reward of the fruit of the womb.

Khenhaw! Canu capanaw teh, BAWIPA ni na poe e râw doeh. Khe e camo teh, tawkphu doeh.

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; so are the children of those who were outcasts.

Na naw nah na khe e canu capanaw teh, athakaawme tami kut dawk e pala hoi a kâvan.

5 Blessed is the man who shall satisfy his desire with them: they shall not be ashamed when they shall speak to their enemies in the gates.

Ama e palabom hah hote palasamtang hoi ka kawi sak e tami teh a yawhawi. Ahnimouh teh, kayanae awm mahoeh. Tarannaw hah longkha koe a ngang awh han.
