Psalms 129

1 A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth — oh let Israel say —

Israel, srumun luman akkeok lun mwet lokoalok nu suwos Oe ke kowos fusr ah me.

2 Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me.

“Oe ke nga fusr ah me nwe inge, Mwet lokoalok luk elos akkeokyeyu arulana upa, Tusruktu elos tiana kutangyula.

3 The ploughers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

Elos kanteya fintukuk arulana loal Oana ke elos pikin acn in orek ima lalos uh.

4 Jehovah is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

Tusruktu LEUM GOD, su arulana suwoswos, El aksukosokyeyula liki moul in kohs.”

5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all that hate Zion;

Lela tuh elos nukewa su srunga Zion In kutangyukla ac lillilyak.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it is plucked up,

Lela tuh elos in oana mah su yoki oan fin mangon lohm uh, Su paola ac tia ku in kapak.

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom;

Wangin mwet sifelosyak inpaolos, Ku losani ac usla.

8 Neither do the passers-by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; we bless you in the name of Jehovah!

Wangin mwet su fahsr alukela acn se inge fah fahk, “Lela God Elan akinsewowoye kom! Kut akinsewowoye kom ke Inen LEUM GOD.”
