所罗门上行之诗。

称颂 神的良善

127 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,
    看守的人就枉然警醒。
你们清晨早起,夜晚安歇,
    吃劳碌得来的饭,本是枉然;
惟有耶和华所亲爱的,
    必叫他安然睡觉。

看哪,儿女是耶和华所赐的产业,
    所怀的胎是他所给的赏赐。
人在年轻时生的儿女
    好像勇士手中的箭。
箭袋充满的人有福了!
    他们在城门口和仇敌争论时必不蒙羞。

Psalm 127

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

Unless the Lord builds(A) the house,
    the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches(B) over the city,
    the guards stand watch in vain.
In vain you rise early
    and stay up late,
toiling for food(C) to eat—
    for he grants sleep(D) to[a] those he loves.(E)

Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward(F) from him.
Like arrows(G) in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them.(H)
They will not be put to shame
    when they contend with their opponents(I) in court.(J)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 127:2 Or eat— / for while they sleep he provides for

127 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

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

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

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

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.

Todo depende de Dios

Canto de Salomón para los peregrinos.

Si el SEÑOR no construye la casa,
    los constructores pierden su tiempo.
Si el SEÑOR no vigila la ciudad,
    los guardias pierden su tiempo.
Pierden el tiempo ustedes,
    que se levantan temprano y se acuestan tarde
para comer un pan conseguido con sufrimiento
    porque Dios da a quien ama, aun mientras duerme.

Los hijos son la herencia que nos da el SEÑOR;
    los frutos del vientre son la recompensa que viene de Dios.
Los hijos de un hombre joven
    son como flechas en las manos de un guerrero.
Qué afortunado es el hombre
    que llena su aljaba con flechas como esas.
No será avergonzado por sus enemigos
    cuando trate con ellos en los tribunales.
