Psalms 129

1 [A Song of Ascents.] Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

Pogosto so me prizadeli od moje mladosti, naj sedaj reče Izrael,

2 many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

pogosto so me prizadeli od moje mladosti, vendar niso prevladali zoper mene.

3 The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

Orači so orali na mojem hrbtu; svoje brazde so naredili dolge.

4 The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

Gospod je pravičen; razsekal je vrvi zlobnih.

5 Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

Naj bodo zbegani in obrnjeni nazaj vsi, ki sovražijo Sion.

6 Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

Naj bodo kakor trava na hišnih strehah, ki ovene preden zraste,

7 with which the reaper doesn't fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

s čimer kosec ne napolni svoje roke niti kdor veže snope svojega naročja.

8 Neither do those who go by say, "The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the name of the LORD."

[Naj] niti tisti, ki gredo mimo, ne rečejo: »Nad vami naj bo Gospodov blagoslov. Blagoslavljamo vas v Gospodovem imenu.«
