Salmos 127
Diodati 1885
1SE il Signore non edifica la casa, In vano vi si affaticano gli edificatori; Se il Signore non guarda la città, In vano vegghiano le guardie.
2Voi che vi levate la mattina a buon'ora, e tardi vi posate, E mangiate il pane di doglie, in vano il fate; In luogo di ciò, Iddio dà il sonno a colui ch'egli ama.
3Ecco, i figliuoli sono una eredità del Signore; Il frutto del ventre è un premio.
4Quali son le saette in mano d'un valent'uomo, Tali sono i figliuoli in giovanezza.
5Beato l'uomo che ne ha il suo turcasso pieno; Tali non saranno confusi, Quando parleranno co' lor nemici nella porta.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Cántico gradual: para Salomón. SI Jehová no edificare la casa, en vano trabajan los que la edifican: si Jehová no guardare la ciudad, en vano vela la guarda.
2Por demás os es el madrugar á levantaros, el veniros tarde á reposar, el comer pan de dolores: pues que á su amado dará Dios el sueño.
3He aquí, heredad de Jehová son los hijos: cosa de estima el fruto del vientre.
4Como saetas en mano del valiente, así son los hijos habidos en la juventud.
5Bienaventurado el hombre que hinchió su aljaba de ellos: no será avergonzado cuando hablare con los enemigos en la puerta.
King James Version
1Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
World English Bible
1Unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.
2It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
4As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.
5Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
