Psalms 127

1 A Song of degrees. Of Solomon. Unless Jehovah build the house, in vain do its builders labour in it; unless Jehovah keep the city, the keeper watcheth 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 lie down late, to eat the bread of sorrows: so to his beloved one he giveth 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 Lo, children are an inheritance from Jehovah, [and] the fruit of the womb 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 children 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 that hath filled his quiver with them. They shall not be ashamed when they speak with 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
