Псалмул 127

1 Дакэ ну зидеште Домнул о касэ, деӂяба лукрязэ чей че о зидеск; дакэ ну пэзеште Домнул о четате, деӂяба вегязэ чел че о пэзеште.

If people are building a house without [knowing whether] it is Yahweh’s [will to build it], they are building it in vain. [Similarly], if Yahweh does not protect a city, it is useless for guards/sentries to stay awake [to tell people if their enemies come to attack it].

2 Деӂяба вэ скулаць де диминяцэ ши вэ кулкаць тырзиу ка сэ мынкаць о пыне кыштигатэ ку дурере, кэч пряюбицилор Луй Ел ле дэ пыне ка ын сомн.

It is [also] useless to arise very early and go to sleep late at night in order that you can work hard [all day] to [earn money to buy] food, because Yahweh gives food to those whom he loves.

3 Ятэ, фиий сунт о моштенире де ла Домнул, родул пынтечелуй есте о рэсплатэ датэ де Ел.

Children are a gift [that comes to parents] from Yahweh; they are a reward/blessing from him.

4 Ка сэӂециле ын мына унуй рэзбойник, аша сунт фиий фэкуць ла тинереце.

If a man has sons while he is still young, [when they grow up, they will be able to help him defend his family] like [SIM] a soldier [can defend himself if] he has [a bow and] arrows in his hand.

5 Фериче де омул каре ышь умпле толба де сэӂець ку ей! Кэч ей ну вор рэмыне де рушине кынд вор ворби ку врэжмаший лор ла поартэ.

A man [who has many sons] is [very] happy, like [MET] [a soldier who has many arrows] in his quiver is very happy. If a man [with his many grown sons is taken] by his enemies to the place where they decide matters, his enemies will never be able to defeat that man, [because his sons will help to defend him].
