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.

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 to rise early: you rise up after resting, you that eat the bread of grief; while he gives sleep to his beloved.

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

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

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 those who were outcasts.

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

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.

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