Psalms 127

1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD shall build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD shall keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain.

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

2 [It is] vain for you to rise early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: [for] so he giveth his beloved sleep.

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

3 Lo, children [are] a heritage of the LORD: [and] the fruit of the womb [is his] reward.

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

4 As arrows [are] in the hand of a mighty man: so [are] children of the youth.

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

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

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