Psalms 127

1 [A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.] Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it 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 up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones.

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

3 Look, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is a reward.

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 youth.

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

5 Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

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