Psalms 127

1 Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.

ソロモンがよめる京まうでのうた ヱホバ家をたてたまふにあらずば 建るものの勤労はむなしく 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労なり

2 It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give 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 Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, 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 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.

年壮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 that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his 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
