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.

Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but 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 vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he gives his beloved sleep.

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

See, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

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

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

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

Happy is the man that has his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
