Psalms 127

1 [A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.] Unless YHWH builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless YHWH watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

Waƙar haurawa. Ta Solomon. In ba Ubangiji ne ya gina gida ba, masu gininta suna wahala a banza ne. In ba Ubangiji ne yake tsaron birni ba, masu tsaro suna yin tsaro a banza.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones.

Banza ne ka farka da wuri ka koma da latti, kana fama don abincin da za ka ci, gama yakan ba da barci ga waɗanda yake ƙauna.

3 Look, children are a heritage of YHWH. The fruit of the womb is a reward.

’Ya’ya maza gādo ne daga Ubangiji, yara lada ne daga gare shi.

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

Kamar kibiyoyi a hannun jarumi haka’ya’ya mazan da aka haifa wa mutum a ƙuruciya.

5 Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Mai albarka ne mutumin da korinsa sun cika da su. Ba za a kunyata su ba sa’ad da suke ƙarawa da abokan gābansu a ɗakin shari’a.
