Psalms 127

Greek original · 5 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

← ch. 126ch. 128 →
📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Vulgate, Ge'ez Bible)
⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 127 here = Ps 126 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.
ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

127:1
ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν τῷ Σαλωμων ἐὰν μὴ κύριος οἰκοδομήσῃ οἶκον εἰς μάτην ἐκοπίασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες αὐτόν ἐὰν μὴ κύριος φυλάξῃ πόλιν εἰς μάτην ἠγρύπνησεν ὁ φυλάσσων
A song of the ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labour in vain; unless the Lord guards the city, the one who guards keeps watch in vain.
上行之歌,所羅門的。若不是主建造房屋,建造的人就枉然勞力;若不是主看守城池,看守的人就枉然警醒。
127:2
εἰς μάτην ὑμῖν ἐστιν τοῦ ὀρθρίζειν ἐγείρεσθαι μετὰ τὸ καθῆσθαι οἱ ἔσθοντες ἄρτον ὀδύνης ὅταν δῷ τοῖς ἀγαπητοῖς αὐτοῦ ὕπνον
It is in vain for you to rise early, to get up after sitting, you who eat the bread of sorrow — when he gives sleep to his beloved ones.
你們清早起來,坐下之後又起身,吃愁苦的飯,都是枉然;他卻賜睡眠給他所親愛的人。
127:3
ἰδοὺ ἡ κληρονομία κυρίου υἱοί ὁ μισθὸς τοῦ καρποῦ τῆς γαστρός
Behold, sons are the heritage of the Lord; the fruit of the womb is his reward.
看哪,兒子是主的產業,腹中的果子是他所賜的賞賜。
127:4
ὡσεὶ βέλη ἐν χειρὶ δυνατοῦ οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἐκτετιναγμένων
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of those who were shaken off.
被抖落之人的兒子,好像勇士手中的箭。
127:5
μακάριος ἄνθρωπος ὃς πληρώσει τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐ καταισχυνθήσονται ὅταν λαλῶσι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς αὐτῶν ἐν πύλῃ
Blessed is the man who shall fill his desire from them; they shall not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
人若從他們得著心願的滿足,便為有福;他們在城門口與仇敵說話的時候,必不至於羞愧。
