Dagiti Salmo 127

1 Malaksid no ni Yahweh ti mangipatakder iti balay, awan serserbi ti panagtrabaho dagiti agipatpatakder. Malaksid no bantayan ni Yahweh ti siudad, awan serserbi ti agbanbantay.

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.

2 Awan serserbina kenka ti bumangon a masapa, ti naladaw a panagawid, wenno ti pannangan iti tinapay a nagbannogan, gapu ta it-ited ni Yahweh ti pannaturog kadagiti ay-ayatenna.

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

3 Kitaem, dagiti ubbing ket tawid a naggapu kenni Yahweh, ken ti bunga ti aanakan ket gunggona manipud kenkuana.

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

4 Dagiti annak ti agkabanuag a lalaki ket kasla kadagiti pana iti ima iti mannakigubat.

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

5 Anian a naggasat ti tao a napno ti pagkargaan ti panana. Saan a maibabain isuna inton sangoenna dagiti kabusorna iti ruangan.

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
