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.

Qhuas Vajtswv Tus Muaj Lub Siab Zoo
1Yog tus TSWV tsis ua tsev, ces cov neeg ua tsev tes haujlwm tsis muaj qabhau dabtsi; yog tus TSWV tsis tiv thaiv lub nroog, ces txawm yuav tso tubrog zov khov kho, los yeej tsis muaj qabhau dabtsi. 2Tus uas niaj hnub khwv noj khwv haus nws pw lig thiab sawv ntxov los nws tes haujlwm yeej tsis muaj qabhau dabtsi; rau qhov tus TSWV yeej foom koob hmoov rau tus uas nws hlub, thaum lub sijhawm uas tus ntawd tseem pw tsaug zog.
3Menyuam yog tej uas tus TSWV pub dawb rau neeg; menyuam yog koob hmoov los ntawm tus TSWV. 4Tus uas muaj menyuam thaum nws tseem hluas, nws zoo ib yam li tus tubrog uas muaj tsheej npo xub nyob ntawm nws txhais tes. 5Tus uas muaj xub hneev ntau yeej muaj kev kaj siab lug! Thaum nws nrog nws cov yeebncuab nyob tim ntsej tim muag hauv tsev tu plaub, nws yuav tsis swb li.
