Psalms 127

1 A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

परमप्रभुले नै घर बनाउनुभएन भने, त्‍यसलाई बनाउनेहरूले व्यर्थमा काम गर्छन् । परमप्रभुले नै सहरको रक्षा गर्नुभएन भने, रक्षकले व्यर्थमा रक्षा गर्छ ।

2 It is vain for you that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.

बिहान सबेरै उठ्नु, घर ढिला आउनु वा कडा परिश्रमको रोटी खानु तिम्रो निम्ति व्यार्थ हुन्‍छ, किनकि परमप्रभुका प्रियजन सुत्‍दा, उहाँले तिनीहरूला जुटाउनुहुन्छ ।

3 Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.

हेर, छोराछोरी परमप्रभुबाट प्राप्‍त उत्तराधिकार हुन् र गर्भको फल उहाँको इनाम हो ।

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of one's youth.

योद्धाको हातका काँडहरूझैं जवानी अवस्थाका छोराछोरी हुन्छन् ।

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो, जसको ठोक्रो काँडहरूले भरिएको छ । त्यसले ढोकामा त्यसका शत्रुहरूको सामना गर्दा त्यो लज्‍जित हुनेछैन ।
