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.

Razen če Gospod ne zida hiše, se zaman trudijo, ki jo gradijo. Razen če Gospod ne varuje mesta, stražar le zaman bedi.

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.

Zaman je zate, da vstajaš zgodaj, da hodiš pozno spat, da ješ kruh bridkosti, kajti tako on svojim ljubljenim daje spanje.

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

Glej! Otroci so dediščina od Gospoda in sad maternice je njegova nagrada.

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; so are the children of those who were outcasts.

Kakor so puščice v roki mogočnega človeka, tako so otroci mladosti.

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.

Srečen je človek, ki jih ima poln tul; ne bodo osramočeni, temveč bodo govorili s sovražniki pri velikih vratih.
