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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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