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。

Gabayga meelokoridda oo Sulaymaan tiriyey.

127 Haddaan Rabbigu guriga dhisin,
Kuwa dhisaya, waxtarla'aan bay u hawshoodaan,
Haddaan Rabbigu magaalada dhawrin,
Waardiyuhu micnela'aan buu u soo jeedaa.
Faa'iido idiinma leh inaad aroor hore kacdaan oo aad goor dambe seexataan,
Oo aad kibista dhibka cuntaan,
Waayo, wuxuu kuwuu jecel yahay siiyaa hurdo.
Bal eeg, carruurtu waa dhaxal xagga Rabbiga laga helo.
Oo midhaha maxalku waa abaalgudkiisa.
Sida fallaadho ku jira nin xoog badan gacantiis,
Sidaasoo kale weeye carruurta dhallinyaranimadu.
Waxaa barakaysan ninkii gabooyihiisa ka buuxsada iyaga,
Iyagu ma ay ceeboobi doonaan
Markay cadaawayaashooda kula hadlaan xagga iridda.

The Blessing of the Lord

A song of ascents. Of Solomon.

127 Unless the Lord builds a house,
its builders labour over it in vain;(A)
unless the Lord watches over a city,
the watchman stays alert in vain.(B)
In vain you get up early and stay up late,
working hard to have enough food – 
yes, he gives sleep to the one he loves.[a](C)

Sons are indeed a heritage from the Lord,
offspring, a reward.(D)
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the sons born in one’s youth.(E)
Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them.(F)
They will never be put to shame
when they speak with their enemies at the city gate.(G)

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)
