Psalmi 129

1 Svētku dziesma. Tie mani daudzkārt apbēdinājuši no manas jaunības, tā lai Israēls saka;

A Song of the going up. Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young (let Israel now say);

2 Tie mani daudzkārt apbēdinājuši no manas jaunības, bet tie mani nav pārvarējuši.

Great have been my troubles from the time when I was young, but my troubles have not overcome me.

3 Arāji ir aruši uz manas muguras, tie savas vagas garas dzinuši.

The ploughmen were ploughing on my back; long were the wounds they made.

4 Tas Kungs ir taisns, Viņš sacirtis bezdievīgo valgus.

The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.

5 Lai top kaunā un atpakaļ dzīti visi kas Ciānu ienīst.

Let all the haters of Zion be shamed and turned back.

6 Lai tie top kā zāle uz jumtiem, kas nokalst, pirms tā top plūkta,

Let them be like the grass on the house-tops, which is dry before it comes to full growth.

7 Ar ko pļāvējs nepilda savu roku, nedz kopiņu sējējs savu klēpi.

He who gets in the grain has no use for it; and they do not make bands of it for the grain-stems.

8 Un tie, kas garām iet, lai nesaka: Tā Kunga svētība lai nāk pār jums, mēs jūs svētījam Tā Kunga Vārdā.

And those who go by do not say, The blessing of the Lord be on you; we give you blessing in the name of the Lord.
