< Psalmi 129 >

1 Pogosto so me prizadeli od moje mladosti, naj sedaj reče Izrael,
A song of ascents. Many a time they have persecuted me from my youth— let Israel now declare—
2 pogosto so me prizadeli od moje mladosti, vendar niso prevladali zoper mene.
many a time they have persecuted me from my youth, but they have not prevailed against me.
3 Orači so orali na mojem hrbtu; svoje brazde so naredili dolge.
The plowmen plowed over my back; they made their furrows long.
4 Gospod je pravičen; razsekal je vrvi zlobnih.
The LORD is righteous; He has cut me from the cords of the wicked.
5 Naj bodo zbegani in obrnjeni nazaj vsi, ki sovražijo Sion.
May all who hate Zion be turned back in shame.
6 Naj bodo kakor trava na hišnih strehah, ki ovene preden zraste,
May they be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can grow,
7 s čimer kosec ne napolni svoje roke niti kdor veže snope svojega naročja.
unable to fill the hands of the reaper, or the arms of the binder of sheaves.
8 [Naj] niti tisti, ki gredo mimo, ne rečejo: »Nad vami naj bo Gospodov blagoslov. Blagoslavljamo vas v Gospodovem imenu.«
May none who pass by say to them, “The blessing of the LORD be on you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.”
