< Псалтирь 129 >
1 Множицею брашася со мною от юности моея, да речет убо Израиль:
A song of ascents. “Often since my youth they have attacked me,” let Israel say.
2 множицею брашася со мною от юности моея, ибо не премогоша мя.
“Often since my youth they have attacked me, yet they have not defeated me.
3 На хребте моем делаша грешницы, продолжиша беззаконие свое.
The plowers plowed on my back; they made their furrows long.
4 Господь праведен ссече выя грешников.
Yahweh is righteous; he has cut the ropes of the wicked.”
5 Да постыдятся и возвратятся вспять вси ненавидящии Сиона:
May they all be put to shame and turned back, those who hate Zion.
6 да будут яко трава на здех, яже прежде восторжения изсше:
May they be like the grass on the housetops that withers before it grows up,
7 еюже не исполни руки своея жняй, и недра своего рукояти собираяй:
that cannot fill the reaper's hand or the chest of the one who binds bundles of grain together.
8 и не реша мимоходящии: благословение Господне на вы, благословихом вы во имя Господне.
May those who pass by not say, “May the blessing of Yahweh be on you; we bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
