Psalms 127

1 A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

[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 vain for you that ye rise up early, and so late take rest, and eat the bread of toil: [for] so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.

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 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb is [his] reward.

Tulik uh mwe usru sin LEUM GOD me; Elos mwe insewowo.

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty 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 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, when they speak 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.
