Zabura 127

1 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.

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.

2 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.

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,

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

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

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

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

5 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.

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.
