Zsoltárok 129

1 Grádicsok éneke. Sokat szorongattak engem ifjúságom óta! mondja most Izráel.

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

2 Sokat szorongattak engem ifjúságom óta, még sem bírtak velem.

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

3 Szántók szántottak hátamon, hosszúra nyujtották barázdáikat.

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

4 Igaz az Úr! Elszaggatja a gonoszok kötelét.

The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.

5 Megszégyenülnek és hátraszorulnak mindazok, a kik gyűlölik a Siont.

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

6 Olyanok lesznek, mint a háztetőn a fű, a mely kiszárad, mielőtt letépnék.

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

7 A melyet sem arató nem szed markába, sem kévekötő az ölébe.

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

8 Az átutazók se mondják: Az Úr áldása rátok! Áldunk benneteket az Úrnak nevében!

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.”
