Psalms 127

1 A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked.

Ako Gospod neæe graditi doma, uzalud se muèe koji ga grade; ako neæe Gospod èuvati grada, uzalud ne spava stražar.

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

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

3 Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah [are] sons, A reward [is] the fruit of the womb.

Evo našljedstva od Gospoda: djeca, porod je dar od njega.

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

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

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

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