Psalms 129

1 A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

«Ωιδή των Αναβαθμών.» Πολλάκις με επολέμησαν εκ νεότητός μου, ας είπη τώρα ο Ισραήλ·

2 they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.

Πολλάκις με επολέμησαν εκ νεότητός μου· αλλά δεν υπερίσχυσαν εναντίον μου.

3 The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.

Οι γεωργοί ηροτρίασαν επί των νώτων μου· έσυραν μακρά τα αυλάκια αυτών.

4 The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.

Αλλά δίκαιος ο Κύριος· κατέκοψε τα σχοινία των ασεβών.

5 Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.

Ας αισχυνθώσι και ας στραφώσιν εις τα οπίσω πάντες οι μισούντες την Σιών.

6 Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:

Ας γείνωσιν ως ο χόρτος των δωμάτων, όστις πριν εκριζωθή ξηραίνεται·

7 with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.

από του οποίου δεν γεμίζει ο θεριστής την χείρα αυτού, ουδέ ο δένων τα χειρόβολα τον κόλπον αυτού·

8 And those who were passing by have not said to them: “The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.”

ώστε οι διαβάται δεν θέλουσιν ειπεί, Ευλογία Κυρίου εφ' υμάς· σας ευλογούμεν εν ονόματι Κυρίου.
