Psalms 127

1 Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.

Nkunga Salomo wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Enati Yave kakadi tunga nzo, buna batu bobo balembo tungi mu phamba kuandi balembu sadila. Enati Yave kakadi sunga divula buna batu bobo balembo disungi mu phamba kuandi balembo disungila.

2 It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved,

Mu phamba kuandi lueti kotukila nsuka-nsuka ayi lueti kambu vika lekilanga, lueti sadilanga ngolo mu diambu di bidia bi dia; bila bobuawu keti vanina kuidi bobo keti zola bu badi ku tulu.

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

Bana badi kiuka kimbanga kuidi Yave, bosi mbutu wu bana widi mfutu wumbanga kuidi niandi.

4 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.

Banga madionga mu mioko mi kinuani ki lulendo, buawu bobo buididi bana mutu kabutidi mu kimuana kiandi.

5 Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.

Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo wuwesa bawu mu khutu andi. Balendi fua tsoni ko mu thangu bela tubana ayi bambeni ziawu ku muelo.
