Psalms 127

1 A Song of Ascents; of Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but 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 It is vain for you that ye rise up early, and so late take rest, and eat the bread of toil: [for] so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.

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 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb is [his] 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 man, so are the children of youth.

少年时所生的儿女 好像勇士手中的箭。

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, when they speak with their 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。
