Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.
1I NA aole o Iehova e kukulu i ka hale, Hooikaika make hewa ka poe nana e kukulu: Ina aole o Iehova e malama i ke kulanakauhale, Make hewa ka makaala ana o ka poe malama.
2In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat— for He gives sleep to His beloved.
2He mea wale ia oukou ke ala i kakahiaka nui Mahope o ka hoomaha ana, E ai i ka ai o ka hookaumahaia; No ka mea, pela oia e hoomoe ai i kona poe aloha.
3Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward.
3Aia hoi! o na keiki, he hooilina lakou no Iehova mai; A o ka hua o ka opu, he uku no ia.
4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.
4E like me na pua ma ka lima o ke kanaka ikaika, Pela no na keiki a ka poe opiopio.
5Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.
5Pomaikai ke kanaka ke piha kana aapua ia lakou; Aole lakou e hilahila, No ka mea, e olelo no lakou i na enemi ma ka puka pa.
