Psalms 127

1 A Song of Degrees. Except the Lord build the house, they that build labor in vain: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches 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 to rise early: you rise up after resting, you that eat the bread of grief; while he gives sleep to his beloved.

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

3 Behold, the inheritance of the Lord, children, the reward of the fruit of the womb.

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 those who were outcasts.

योद्धाको हातका काँडहरूझैं जवानी अवस्थाका छोराछोरी हुन्छन् ।

5 Blessed is the man who shall satisfy his desire with them: they shall not be ashamed when they shall speak to their enemies in the gates.

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