< Псалтирь 129 >
1 Множицею брашася со мною от юности моея, да речет убо Израиль:
A Song of Ascents. Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:
2 множицею брашася со мною от юности моея, ибо не премогоша мя.
many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against 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 apart the cords of the wicked.
5 Да постыдятся и возвратятся вспять вси ненавидящии Сиона:
Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.
6 да будут яко трава на здех, яже прежде восторжения изсше:
Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,
7 еюже не исполни руки своея жняй, и недра своего рукояти собираяй:
with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.
8 и не реша мимоходящии: благословение Господне на вы, благословихом вы во имя Господне.
Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in Yahweh’s name.”
