Sams-Zgame 129

1 Nagrama mofavrema mani'noreti agafama huteno'ma e'neana, ha' vahe'nimo'za hara eme hunante'za nazeri haviza hutere hu'naze. Ama ana nanekea maka Israeli vahe'mota namage anteta hiho.

[I say that] my enemies have (afflicted/caused trouble for) me ever since I was young. [Now I ask you, my fellow] Israelis, to repeat those same words:

2 Nagrama mofavrema mani'noreti agafama huteno'ma e'neana, ha' vahenimo'za hara eme hunante'za nazeri haviza hutere hu'naze. Hianagi nagrira hara hunagateore'naze.

“Our enemies have afflicted us since our nation began, but they have not defeated us!

3 Ha' vahe'mo'zama sefu'ma nami'naza zamo'a nagumpina, hozama antenaku'ma hozafu vahe'mo'za zazate'ma tinkama asazaza huno tinka evu evu hu'ne.

[Our enemies struck us with whips] that cut into our backs [MET] like a [farmer uses a] plow to cut deep furrows into the ground.”

4 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a fatgo hu'neankino, kefo avu'ava'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zama kinama renante'naza nofira ahekano hutrege'na fru hu'na mani'noe.

[But] Yahweh is righteous, and he has freed [me] from being a slave [MTY] of wicked [people].

5 Jerusalemi kuma'ma zamago'ma tenentaza vahera, zamarotago hanage'za rukrahe hu'za nefre'za zamagazegu hanaze.

I wish/hope that all those who hate Jerusalem/Israel will be ashamed because of being defeated.

6 Ana vahe'mo'za nomofo agofetu'ma nehagea trazamo'ma mareri za'za osu'neno hagege hiaza hu'za, zamagra zazatera omanine'za hagege hugahaze.

I hope/wish that they will be [of no value], like grass that grows on the roofs of houses that dries up and does not grow tall;

7 Ana trazana witima vasage vahe'mo'a azampina eri aviotege, kona anakigera osugosie.

[as a result] no one [cuts it and] puts it in bundles and carries it away.

8 Hagi zamagri tvaonte'ma vahe'ma enevu'za amanahu asomu nanekea huozmantegahaze. Ra Anumzamo'a asomu huramante'nie. Tagranena Ra Anumzamofo agifi asomu ke huramantone hu'za osugahaze.

People who pass by [and see men harvesting grain usually greet them by saying to them], “We wish/hope that Yahweh will bless you!” But this will not happen [to those who hate Israel]. We, acting as Yahweh’s representatives, bless you [Israelis.]
