< 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.
[Psalm lal Solomon] LEUM GOD El fin tia musai lohm se, Na elos su musai fah orekma ke wangin sripa. LEUM GOD El fin tia karingin siti se, Na wangin sripa mwet soan in tu karingin acn sac.
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.
Wangin sripen kemkatu lowos In toang som orekma, ac pahtlac in eis pacl in mongla. Tuh LEUM GOD El sang mwe enenu nu selos su El lungse Ke pacl elos motul.
3 Beholde, children are the inheritance of the Lord, and the fruite of the wombe his rewarde.
Tulik uh mwe usru sin LEUM GOD me; Elos mwe insewowo.
4 As are the arrowes in the hand of ye strong man: so are the children of youth.
Tulik mukul nutin sie mwet ke pacl el fusr uh Elos oana sukan pisr inpoun sie mwet mweun.
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.
Insewowo mwet se su pus sukan pisr natul. El ac fah tiana kutangyukla Ke el osun nu sin mwet lokoalok lal ke acn in nununku.
