Nisi Dominus

Cum dederit dilectis suis somnum

Ecce hereditas Domini filii mercis fructus ventris.

Submitter's comments:

This song is played during Louise's frantic search for her bunny ears.
The text is based off of the Book of Psalms, chapter 127, verses 2 & 3.

From Vivaldi's "Andromeda liberata", text by Vincenzo Cassani

Translation

Without God

For he brings rest1to those he has chosen2

Behold, they are a legacy3and a testament4of the Son of God.

1. lit. sleep
2. lit. elite
3. lit. inheritance
4. lit. (his) reward are the fruits of the womb.

Hi! First off, I'd like to compliment you on your translation: you conveyed the meaning of the original text very well.
However, I'd suggest a little more accurate translation:
"When/After He will have given rest to the ones He cherishes
here comes the legacy of the Lord: the offspring, fruit of the womb"
What do you think? Hope I helped you! :)
