詩篇

第 127 章

1. 〔所羅門上行之詩。〕若不是耶和華建造房屋、建造的人就枉然勞力．若不是耶和華看守城池、看守的人就枉然儆醒。
A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
2. 你們清晨早起、夜晚安歇、喫勞碌得來的飯、本是枉然．惟有耶和華所親愛的、必叫他安然睡覺。
In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat--for he grants sleep to those he loves.
3. 兒女是耶和華所賜的產業．所懷的胎、是他所給的賞賜。
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.
4. 少年時所生的兒女、好像勇士手中的箭。
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth.
5. 箭袋充滿的人、便為有福．他們在城門口、和仇敵說話的時候、必不至於羞愧。
Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
