Psalms 127

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of Salomon. Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vaine that build it: except the Lord keepe the citie, the keeper watcheth in vaine.

Razen če Gospod ne zida hiše, se zaman trudijo, ki jo gradijo. Razen če Gospod ne varuje mesta, stražar le zaman bedi.

2 It is in vaine for you to rise earely, and to lie downe late, and eate the bread of sorow: but he wil surely giue rest to his beloued.

Zaman je zate, da vstajaš zgodaj, da hodiš pozno spat, da ješ kruh bridkosti, kajti tako on svojim ljubljenim daje spanje.

3 Beholde, children are the inheritance of the Lord, and the fruite of the wombe his rewarde.

Glej! Otroci so dediščina od Gospoda in sad maternice je njegova nagrada.

4 As are the arrowes in the hand of ye strong man: so are the children of youth.

Kakor so puščice v roki mogočnega človeka, tako so otroci mladosti.

5 Blessed is the man, that hath his quiuer full of them: for they shall not be ashamed, when they speake with their enemies in the gate.

Srečen je človek, ki jih ima poln tul; ne bodo osramočeni, temveč bodo govorili s sovražniki pri velikih vratih.
