Psalmi 127

1 Ako Gospod neæe graditi doma, uzalud se muèe koji ga grade; ako neæe Gospod èuvati grada, uzalud ne spava stražar.

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By Solomon.” Except the LORD build the house, The builders labor in vain; Except the LORD guard the city, The watchman waketh in vain.

2 Uzalud ranite, dockan liježete, jedete hljeb umorni; milome svojemu on daje san.

In vain ye rise up early, and go to rest late, And eat the bread of care! The same giveth he his beloved one in sleep.

3 Evo našljedstva od Gospoda: djeca, porod je dar od njega.

Behold! sons are an inheritance from the LORD, And the fruit of the womb is his gift.

4 Što su strijele u ruci jakome, to su sinovi mladi.

As arrows in the hand of the warrior, So are the sons of young men:

5 Blago èovjeku koji je njima napunio tul svoj! Neæe se osramotiti kad se stanu razgovarati s neprijateljima na vratima.

Happy the man that hath his quiver full of them! They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with adversaries in the gate.
