1Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. 2In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat— for he grants sleep to⚓ those he loves.
3Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. 4Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. 5Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.

1Yog Yawmsaub tsis ua tsev, cov uas ua tsev kuj txog siav do xwb. Yog Yawmsaub tsis tsom kwm lub nroog, tus faj xwm kuj zov do xwb. 2Qhov uas koj sawv ntxov ntxov pw lig lig, ua haujlwm khwv huas qas ntshis kev noj kev haus tsis muaj qabhau. Rau qhov Yawmsaub yeej pub rau tus uas nws hlub pw tsaug zog zoo.⚓
3Tej tub ki yog qub txeeg qub teg ntawm Yawmsaub, tej menyuam uas yug hauv lub plab los yog tshav ntuj. 4Tej tub uas yug thaum leej txiv tseem hluas kuj zoo yam nkaus li rab xub hauv tus tub rog txhais tes. 5Tus yawg twg muaj xub hneev puv lub raj, kuj kaj siab lug. Thaum nrog nws cov yeeb ncuab ua plaub ntawm rooj loog, nws yuav tsis txaj muag.
