Psalms 127

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY SOLOMON. If YHWH does not build the house, Its builders have labored at it in vain, If YHWH does not watch a city, A watchman has awoken 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 Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He gives sleep to His beloved one.

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, sons [are] an inheritance of YHWH, The fruit of the womb [is] a reward.

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 one, So [are] the sons of the young men.

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

5 O the blessedness of the man Who has filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!

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.
