人的产业都是 神所赐

所罗门朝圣之歌(原文作“往上行之歌”)。

127 如果不是耶和华建造房屋,

建造的人就徒然劳苦;

如果不是耶和华看守城池,

看守的人就徒然警醒。(本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题)

你们清早起来,很晚才歇息,

吃劳碌得来的饭,都是徒然;

因为主必使他所爱的安睡。

儿女是耶和华所赐的产业,

腹中的胎儿是他的赏赐。

年轻时所生的儿女,

好象勇士手中的箭。

箭袋装满了箭的人是有福的,

他们在城门口和仇敌说话的时候,

必不至于羞愧。

人的產業都是 神所賜

所羅門朝聖之歌(原文作“往上行之歌”)。

127 如果不是耶和華建造房屋,

建造的人就徒然勞苦;

如果不是耶和華看守城池,

看守的人就徒然警醒。(本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題)

你們清早起來,很晚才歇息,

吃勞碌得來的飯,都是徒然;

因為主必使他所愛的安睡。

兒女是耶和華所賜的產業,

腹中的胎兒是他的賞賜。

年輕時所生的兒女,

好像勇士手中的箭。

箭袋裝滿了箭的人是有福的,

他們在城門口和仇敵說話的時候,

必不至於羞愧。

A song from Solomon for going up to the Temple.

127 If it is not the Lord who builds a house,
    the builders are wasting their time.
If it is not the Lord who watches over the city,
    the guards are wasting their time.

It is a waste of time to get up early and stay up late,
    trying to make a living.
The Lord provides for those he loves,
    even while they are sleeping.

Children are a gift[a] from the Lord,
    a reward from a mother’s womb.
A young man’s sons
    are like the arrows in a soldier’s hand.
The man who fills his quiver with sons
    will be very blessed.
He will never be defeated
    when he opposes his enemy at the city gates.[b]
