< Psalms 127 >
1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of Salomon. Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vaine that build it: except the Lord keepe the citie, the keeper watcheth in vaine.
Malaksid no ni Yahweh ti mangipatakder iti balay, awan serserbi ti panagtrabaho dagiti agipatpatakder. Malaksid no bantayan ni Yahweh ti siudad, awan serserbi ti agbanbantay.
2 It is in vaine for you to rise earely, and to lie downe late, and eate the bread of sorow: but he wil surely giue rest to his beloued.
Awan serserbina kenka ti bumangon a masapa, ti naladaw a panagawid, wenno ti pannangan iti tinapay a nagbannogan, gapu ta it-ited ni Yahweh ti pannaturog kadagiti ay-ayatenna.
3 Beholde, children are the inheritance of the Lord, and the fruite of the wombe his rewarde.
Kitaem, dagiti ubbing ket tawid a naggapu kenni Yahweh, ken ti bunga ti aanakan ket gunggona manipud kenkuana.
4 As are the arrowes in the hand of ye strong man: so are the children of youth.
Dagiti annak ti agkabanuag a lalaki ket kasla kadagiti pana iti ima iti mannakigubat.
5 Blessed is the man, that hath his quiuer full of them: for they shall not be ashamed, when they speake with their enemies in the gate.
Anian a naggasat ti tao a napno ti pagkargaan ti panana. Saan a maibabain isuna inton sangoenna dagiti kabusorna iti ruangan.
