Psalms 129

1 A Song of the going up. Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);

“Mula pa ng aking kabataan madalas akong lusubin nila,” hayaang sabihin ng Israel.

2 Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.

“Mula pa ng aking kabataan, nilusob nila ako, pero hindi nila ako natalo.

3 The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.

Inararo ng mga mang-aararo ang aking likuran; gumawa (sila) ng mahabang ukit na daan.

4 The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.

Si Yahweh ay matuwid, pinutol niya ang mga lubid ng masama.”

5 Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.

Nawa malagay silang lahat sa kahihiyan at tumalikod silang mga napopoot sa Sion.

6 Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.

Nawa maging tulad (sila) ng mga damo na nasa bubungan na nalalanta bago pa ito lumago,

7 He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.

na hindi na maaaring punuin ang kamay ng manggagapas o ang dibdib nilang nagtatali ng mga bungkos.

8 And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.

Nawa huwag sabihin ng mga dumadaan, “Nawa ang pagpapala ni Yahweh ay sumainyo; pinagpapala namin kayo sa pangalan ni Yahweh.”
