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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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