< 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
The song of greces of Salomon. `No but the Lord bilde the hous; thei that bilden it han trauelid in veyn. No but the Lord kepith the citee; he wakith in veyn that kepith it.
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 veyn to you to rise bifore the liyt; rise ye after that ye han sete, that eten the breed of sorewe. Whanne he schal yyue sleep to his loued; lo!
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
the eritage of the Lord `is sones, the mede is the fruyt of wombe.
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 arowis ben in the hond of the miyti; so the sones of hem that ben schakun out.
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
Blessid is the man, that hath fillid his desier of tho; he schal not be schent, whanne he schal speke to hise enemyes in the yate.
