- 127:0
-
所罗门的上行之歌。
- 127:1 Unless Jehovah builds the house, Those who build it labor in vain. Unless Jehovah keeps the city, The guard watches in vain.
-
若不是耶和华建造房屋，建造的人就枉然劳力；若不是耶和华看守城池，看守的人就枉然儆醒。
- 127:2 It is vain for you to rise up early, To lie down late, To eat the bread of toil; All the same, He gives to His beloved while they sleep.
-
你们清晨早起，夜晚歇卧，吃劳碌得来的饭，本是枉然；耶和华在祂所亲爱的人睡觉时，必仍然赐给他们食物。
- 127:3 Behold, children are the heritage of Jehovah, The fruit of the womb a reward.
-
看哪，儿女是耶和华所赐的产业；腹中的果子是祂所给的赏赐。
- 127:4 Like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of one's youth.
-
少年时所生的儿女，好像勇士手中的箭。
- 127:5 Blessed is the man Who fills his quiver with them. He will not be put to shame When he speaks with enemies in the gate.
-
箭袋充满了箭的人，便为有福。他们在城门口和仇敌说话的时候，必不至于羞愧。
