Awit 127
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
127 Malibang itayo ng Panginoon ang bahay, walang kabuluhang nagsisigawa ang nagtatayo: malibang ingatan ng Panginoon ang bayan, walang kabuluhang gumigising ang bantay.
2 Walang kabuluhan sa inyo na kayo'y magsibangong maaga, at magpahingang tanghali, at magsikain ng tinapay ng kapagalan: sapagka't binibigyan niyang gayon ng pagkakatulog ang kaniyang minamahal.
3 Narito, ang mga anak ay mana na mula sa Panginoon: at ang bunga ng bahay-bata ay kaniyang ganting-pala.
4 Kung paano ang mga pana sa kamay ng makapangyarihang lalake, gayon ang mga anak ng kabataan.
5 Maginhawa ang lalake na pumuno ng kaniyang lalagyan ng pana ng mga yaon: sila'y hindi mapapahiya, pagka sila'y nakikipagsalitaan sa kanilang mga kaaway sa pintuang-bayan.
Psalm 127
New King James Version
Laboring and Prospering with the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.
Psalm 127
King James Version
127 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 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 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 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.
Psalm 127
English Standard Version
Unless the Lord Builds the House
A Song of (A)Ascents. Of Solomon.
127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord (B)watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is in vain that you rise up early
and go late to rest,
eating the bread of anxious (C)toil;
for he gives to his (D)beloved (E)sleep.
3 Behold, (F)children are a heritage from the Lord,
(G)the fruit of the womb a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of (H)a warrior
are the children[a] of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies (I)in the gate.[b]
