Zaburi 129

1 Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wamenionea mno tangu ujana wangu; Israeli na aseme sasa:

Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2 wamenionea mno tangu ujana wangu, lakini bado hawajanishinda.

Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3 Wakulima wamelima mgongo wangu, na kufanya mifereji yao mirefu.

The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4 Lakini Bwana ni mwenye haki; amenifungua toka kamba za waovu.

The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

5 Wale wote waichukiao Sayuni na warudishwe nyuma kwa aibu.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

6 Wawe kama majani juu ya paa, ambayo hunyauka kabla hayajakua;

Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

7 kwa hayo mvunaji hawezi kujaza vitanga vyake, wala akusanyaye kujaza mikono yake.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

8 Wale wapitao karibu na wasiseme, “Baraka ya Bwana iwe juu yako; tunakubariki katika jina la Bwana.”

And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
