Psalms 127

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY SOLOMON. If YHWH does not build the house, Its builders have labored at it in vain, If YHWH does not watch a city, A watchman has awoken in vain.

所罗门上行之诗。 若不是耶和华建造房屋， 建造的人就枉然劳力； 若不是耶和华看守城池， 看守的人就枉然警醒。

2 Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting, eating the bread of griefs, So He gives sleep to His beloved one.

你们清晨早起，夜晚安歇， 吃劳碌得来的饭，本是枉然； 惟有耶和华所亲爱的，必叫他安然睡觉。

3 Behold, sons [are] an inheritance of YHWH, The fruit of the womb [is] a reward.

儿女是耶和华所赐的产业； 所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐。

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So [are] the sons of the young men.

少年时所生的儿女 好像勇士手中的箭。

5 O the blessedness of the man Who has filled his quiver with them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the gate!

箭袋充满的人便为有福； 他们在城门口和仇敌说话的时候， 必不至于羞愧。
