Salmos 127

Bible in Basic English

1If the Lord is not helping the builders, then the building of a house is to no purpose: if the Lord does not keep the town, the watchman keeps his watch for nothing.

2It is of no use for you to get up early, and to go late to your rest, with the bread of sorrow for your food; for the Lord gives to his loved ones in sleep.

3See, sons are a heritage from the Lord; the fruit of the body is his reward.

4Like arrows in the hand of a man of war, are the children of the young.

5Happy is the man who has a good store of them; he will not be put to shame, but his cause will be supported by them against his haters.

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.
