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.

Ako Gospod neæe graditi doma, uzalud se muèe koji ga grade; ako neæe Gospod èuvati grada, uzalud ne spava stražar.

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.

Uzalud ranite, dockan liježete, jedete hljeb umorni; milome svojemu on daje san.

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

Evo našljedstva od Gospoda: djeca, porod je dar od njega.

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

Što su strijele u ruci jakome, to su sinovi mladi.

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.

Blago èovjeku koji je njima napunio tul svoj! Neæe se osramotiti kad se stanu razgovarati s neprijateljima na vratima.
