Psalms 127

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 A song of ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the LORD build the house, they labor in vain who build. Unless the LORD guard the city, in vain does the guard keep watch.	1 Hodočasnička pjesma. Salomonova. Ako Jahve kuću ne gradi, uzalud se muče graditelji. Ako Jahve grad ne čuva, uzalud stražar bdi.
2 It is vain for you to rise early and put off your rest at night, To eat bread earned by hard toil-- all this God gives to his beloved in sleep.	2 Uzalud vam je ustat’ prije zore i dugo u noć sjediti, vi što jedete kruh muke: miljenicima svojim u snu on daje.
3 Children too are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward.	3 Evo: sinovi su Jahvin dar, plod utrobe njegova je nagrada.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children born in one's youth.	4 Strelica u ruci ratnika – to su sinovi mladosti.
5 Blessed are they whose quivers are full. They will never be shamed contending with foes at the gate.	5 Blago čovjeku koji njima napuni tobolac, neće se postidjeti kad se preo bude s dušmanom na vratima.
