Psalms 129

1 A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel now declare—

“Masansan a rautendak sipud pay kinaagtutubok,” ibaga koma ti Israel.

2 many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

“Masansan a rautendak sipud pay kinaagtutubok, ngem saandak latta a naparmek.

3 The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.

Nagarado iti likodak dagiti agar-arado; pinaatiddogda dagiti gulgulisda.

4 The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.

Nalinteg ni Yahweh; pinutedna dagiti tali dagiti nadangkes.”

5 May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.

Maibabainda koma amin ken tumallikodda, dagiti manggurgura iti Sion.

6 May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,

Agbalinda koma a kasla iti ruot kadagiti tuktok ti balay a magango sakbay a dumakkel,

7 unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.

a saanna a mapunno iti ima ti aggapgapas wenno ti barukong ti agrepreppet iti apit.

8 May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

Saan koma nga ibaga dagiti lumabas, “Maadda koma kadakayo ti bendision ni Yahweh; bendisionandakayo iti nagan ni Yahweh.”
