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 American Standard Bible

Prosperity Comes from the Lord.

A Song of Ascents, of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord (A)builds a house,
They who build it labor in vain;
Unless the Lord (B)guards a city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is futile for you to rise up early,
To [a]stay up late,
To (C)eat the bread of painful labor;
This is how He gives to His (D)beloved (E)sleep.

3 Behold, (F)children are a [b]gift of the Lord,
The (G)fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a (H)warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 (I)Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
(J)They will not be ashamed
When they (K)speak with their enemies (L)in the gate.

But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

ଗୀତସଂହିତା 127
Odia Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

ଶଲୋମନଙ୍କର ରଚିତ ଆରୋହଣ ଗୀତ।

127 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଯେବେ ଗୃହ ନିର୍ମାଣ ନ କରନ୍ତି,
    ତେବେ ନିର୍ମାଣକାରୀମାନଙ୍କ ପରିଶ୍ରମ ବ୍ୟର୍ଥ ହୁଏ।
ଯେବେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ନଗର ରକ୍ଷା ନ କରନ୍ତି,
    ତେବେ ପ୍ରହରୀ ଜାଗ୍ରତ ହେବା କେବଳ ବୃଥା ଅଟେ।

2 ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଦୈନନ୍ଦିନ ଜୀବିକା ଉପାର୍ଜନ ନିମନ୍ତେ
    ପ୍ରଭାତରେ ଉଠ, ଏବଂ ବିଳମ୍ବରେ ବିଶ୍ରାମ କର, ଏହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ବୃଥା।
କାରଣ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଭଲ ପାଉଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ
    ନିଦ୍ରିତ ଅବସ୍ଥାରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଯତ୍ନ ନିଅନ୍ତି।

3 ଦେଖ, ସନ୍ତାନଗଣ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଉପହାର।
    ଗର୍ଭାଶୟରୁ ଶିଶୁମାନେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ପୁରସ୍କାର ଅଟନ୍ତି।
4 ଯୁବକର ପୁତ୍ରଗଣ
    ଏକ ସୈନ୍ୟର ହସ୍ତର ବାଣଗୁଡ଼ିକ ସଦୃଶ ଅଟେ।
5 ସେହି ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ଭାଗ୍ୟବାନ୍, ଯେଉଁ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିର କେବେବି ପରାସ୍ତ ହେବ ନାହିଁ,
    ଯେତେବେଳେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଶତ୍ରୁଗଣ ନଗର ଫାଟକରେ ଅବରୋଧ କରନ୍ତି।
ପୁତ୍ର ରୂପକ ବାଣରେ ଭର୍ତ୍ତି ହୁଏ,
    ସେ ହେଉଛି ଭାଗ୍ୟବାନ୍।

New International Version

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)
