Psalmi 127

1 Salamana svētku dziesma. Ja Tas Kungs namu neuztaisa, tad darbojās velti, kas pie tā strādā; ja Tas Kungs pilsētu neapsargā, tad sargs velti nomodā.

A Canticle in steps: of Solomon. Unless the Lord has built the house, those who build it have labored in vain. Unless the Lord has guarded the city, he who guards it watches in vain.

2 Velti jums, agri celties un vēlu palikt nomodā un ēst savu maizi ar bēdām. Tiešām, Saviem mīļiem Viņš dod miegā.

It is in vain that you rise before daylight, that you rise up after you have sat down, you who chew the bread of sorrow. Whereas, to his beloved, he will give sleep.

3 Redzi, bērni ir manta no Tā Kunga, un miesas auglis ir dāvana.

Behold, the inheritance of the Lord is sons, the reward is the fruit of the womb.

4 Tā kā bultas stipra vīra rokās, tāpat ir jaunie bērni.

Like arrows in the hand of the powerful, so are the sons of those who have been cast out.

5 Svētīgs tas vīrs, kas savu bultu maku ar to pildījis; tie netaps kaunā, kad tiem vārtos nāk runas ar saviem ienaidniekiem.

Blessed is the man who has filled his desire from these things. He will not be confounded when he speaks to his enemies at the gate.
