Psalms 127

1 [A Song of Ascents. By Solomon.] Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

ソロモンがよめる京まうでのうた ヱホバ家をたてたまふにあらずば 建るものの勤労はむなしく ヱホバ城をまもりたまふにあらずば衛士のさめをるは徒労なり

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones.

なんぢら早くおき遅くいねて辛苦の糧をくらふはむなしきなり 斯てヱホバその愛しみたまふものに寝をあたへたまふ

3 Look, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is a reward.

みよ子輩はヱホバのあたへたまふ嗣業にして 胎の實はその報のたまものなり

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

年壮きころほひの子はますらをの手にある矢のごとし

5 Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

矢のみちたる箙をもつ人はさいはひなり かれら門にありて仇とものいふとき恥ることあらじ
