詩篇 127

1 ヱホバ家をたてたまふにあらずば 建るものの勤勞はむなしく 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勞なり

A Song of Degrees. Except the Lord build the house, they that build labour in vain: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman watches in vain.

2 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

It is vain for you to rise early: ye rise up after resting, ye that eat the bread of grief; while he gives sleep to his beloved.

3 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

Behold, the inheritance of the Lord, children, the reward of the fruit of the womb.

4 年壯きころほひの子はますらをの手にある矢のごとし

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man; so are the children of those who were outcasts.

5 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

Blessed is the man who shall satisfy his desire with them: they shall not be ashamed when they shall speak to their enemies in the gates.
