Psalms 127

1 Unless Jehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Jehovah guards the city, the watchman wake but in vain.

ヱホバ家をたてたまふにあらずば 建るものの勤勞はむなしく ヱホバ城をまもりたまふにあらずば衛士のさめをるは徒勞なり

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of toil, for so he gives sleep to his beloved.

なんぢら早くおき遅くいねて辛苦の糧をくらふはむなしきなり 斯てヱホバその愛しみたまふものに寝をあたへたまふ

3 Lo, sons are a heritage of Jehovah, and the fruit of the womb is a reward.

みよ子輩はヱホバのあたへたまふ嗣業にして 胎の實はその報のたまものなり

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of youth.

年壯きころほひの子はますらをの手にある矢のごとし

5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They shall not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

矢のみちたる箙をもつ人はさいはひなり かれら門にありて仇とものいふとき恥ることあらじ
