Psalms 127

1 A Canticle in steps: of Solomon. Unless the Lord has built the house, those who build it have labored in vain. Unless the Lord has guarded the city, he who guards it watches 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 in vain that you rise before daylight, that you rise up after you have sat down, you who chew the bread of sorrow. Whereas, to his beloved, he will give sleep.

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 Behold, the inheritance of the Lord is sons, the reward is the fruit of the womb.

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 the powerful, so are the sons of those who have been cast out.

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 who has filled his desire from these things. He will not be confounded when he speaks to his 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
