Psalms 127

1 A Song of the going up. Of Solomon. If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.

Ако Господ неће градити дом, узалуд се муче који га граде; ако неће Господ чувати град, узалуд не спава стражар.

2 It is of no use for you to get up early, and to go late to your rest, with the bread of sorrow for your food; for the Lord gives to his loved ones in sleep.

Узалуд раните, касно лежете, једете хлеб уморни; милом свом Он даје сан.

3 See, sons are a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the body is his reward.

Ево наследства од Господа: деца, пород је дар од Њега.

4 Like arrows in the hand of a man of war, are the children of the young.

Шта су стреле у руци јакоме, то су синови млади.

5 Happy is the man who has a good store of them; he will not be put to shame, but his cause will be supported by them against his haters.

Благо човеку који је њима напунио тул свој! Неће се осрамотити кад се стану разговарати с непријатељима на вратима.
