Psalm 127

English Standard Version

Unless the Lord Builds the House

1 A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. (Ps 120:1; Ps 121:4) 2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. (Ge 3:17; Ge 3:19; Ps 60:5; Mr 4:26)

Ge 3:17Ge 3:19Ps 60:5Mr 4:26

3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. (Ge 33:5; De 28:4; Ps 132:11) 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children^[1] of one’s youth. (Ps 120:4) 5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.^[2] (Job 5:4)

Децата – награда от Господа

(По слав. 126.)

1 Соломонова песен на възкачванията. Ако ГОСПОД не съгради дома, напразно се трудят зидарите; ако ГОСПОД не опази града, напразно бди стражарят. (Ps 121:3) 2 Безполезно е за вас да ставате рано, да лягате толкова късно и да ядете хляба на труда, тъй като и в сън ГОСПОД дава на възлюбения Си. (Ge 3:17; Ge 3:19) 3 Ето, наследство от ГОСПОДА са синовете и награда от Него е плодът на утробата. (De 28:4; Job 5:4; Pr 27:11)

De 28:4Job 5:4Pr 27:11

4 Както са стрелите в ръката на силния, така са синовете на младостта. 5 Блазе на онзи човек, който е напълнил колчана си с тях! Такива няма да се посрамят, когато говорят с неприятелите си при градската порта.
