Psalms 127

1 A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard 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 In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for bread to eat— for 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 Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His 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 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s 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 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at 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
