Mga Awit 127
Ang Biblia, 2001

Awit ng Pag-akyat. Mula kay Solomon.

127 Malibang ang Panginoon ang magtayo ng bahay,
    ang mga nagtatayo nito ay walang kabuluhang nagpapagod.
Malibang ang Panginoon ang magbantay sa lunsod,
    ang bantay ay nagpupuyat nang walang kabuluhan.
2 Walang kabuluhan na kayo'y bumabangon nang maaga,
    at malalim na ang gabi kung magpahinga,
na kumakain ng tinapay ng mga pagpapagal;
    sapagkat binibigyan niya ng tulog ang kanyang minamahal.
3 Narito, ang mga anak ay pamanang sa Panginoon nagmula,
    ang bunga ng sinapupunan ay isang gantimpala.
4 Gaya ng mga palaso sa kamay ng mandirigma,
    ay ang mga anak sa panahon ng pagkabata.
5 Maligaya ang lalaki na ang kanyang lalagyan ng pana
    ay punô ng mga iyon!
Siya'y hindi mapapahiya,
    kapag siya'y nakipag-usap sa kanyang mga kaaway sa pintuang-bayan.

Psalm 127
Contemporary English Version

(A song by Solomon for worship.)

Only the Lord Can Bless a Home

1 Without the help of the Lord
it is useless to build a home
    or to guard a city.
2 It is useless to get up early
and stay up late
    in order to earn a living.
God takes care of his own,
    even while they sleep.[a]

3 Children are a blessing
    and a gift from the Lord.
4 Having a lot of children
to take care of you
    in your old age
is like a warrior
    with a lot of arrows.
5 The more you have,
    the better off you will be,
because they will protect you
when your enemies
    attack you in court.

Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

1 Unless the Lord builds(A) the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches(B) over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
    and stay up late,
toiling for food(C) to eat—
    for he grants sleep(D) to[a] those he loves.(E)

3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward(F) from him.
4 Like arrows(G) in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them.(H)
They will not be put to shame
    when they contend with their opponents(I) in court.(J)

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
New King James Version

Laboring and Prospering with the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless (A)the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To (B)eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.

3 Behold, (C)children are a heritage from the Lord,
(D)The fruit of the womb is a (E)reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 (F)Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
(G)They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
