Psalms 127

1 A Song of Ascents. By Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

ソロモンがよめる京まうでのうた ヱホバ家をたてたまふにあらずば 建るものの勤労はむなしく ヱホバ城をまもりたまふにあらずば衛士のさめをるは徒労なり

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.

なんぢら早くおき遅くいねて辛苦の糧をくらふはむなしきなり 斯てヱホバその愛しみたまふものに寝をあたへたまふ

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

みよ子輩はヱホバのあたへたまふ嗣業にして 胎の實はその報のたまものなり

4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.

年壮きころほひの子はますらをの手にある矢のごとし

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

矢のみちたる箙をもつ人はさいはひなり かれら門にありて仇とものいふとき恥ることあらじ
