詩篇 127

1 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

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.

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 that ye rise early, and sit up late, ye that eat the bread of toil; so He giveth unto His beloved in sleep.

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

Lo, children are a heritage of the LORD; the fruit of the womb is a reward.

4 年壮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 one's youth.

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

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be put to shame, when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
