Psalms 127

1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain.

Аще не Господь созиждет дом, всуе трудишася зиждущии: аще не Господь сохранит град, всуе бде стрегий.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep.

Всуе вам есть утреневати: востанете по седении ядущии хлеб болезни, егда даст возлюбленным Своим сон.

3 See, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Се, достояние Господне сынове, мзда плода чревняго.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

Яко стрелы в руце сильнаго, тако сынове оттрясенных.

5 Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Блажен, иже исполнит желание свое от них: не постыдятся, егда глаголют врагом своим во вратех.
