⁵Prenasledovaní sme tak, že sú nám vždy na krku; pracujúc ustávame, a niet pre nás odpočinku.

⁶We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.

⁶Egypťanom podávame ruku, Assýrom, aby sme sa nasýtili chleba.

⁷Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

⁷Naši otcovia hrešili, a niet ich; my nesieme ich neprávosti.

⁸Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.

⁸Sluhovia panujú nad nami; nieto nikoho, kto by vytrhol z ich ruky.

¹³They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.

¹³Mládenci nosia žernov, a deti klesajú pod drevom;

¹⁴The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.

¹⁴starci prestali sedávať v bráne, mládenci spievať svoju pieseň.

¹⁵The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.

¹⁵Prestala veselosť nášho srdca; naše veselé kolo sa obrátilo v zármutok.

²⁰Prečo zabúdaš na nás na večnosť, opúšťaš nás na také dlhé časy?

²¹Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

²¹Navráť nás, Hospodine, k sebe, a navrátime sa; obnov naše dni jako kedysi!

²²But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.

²²Ale ty si nás celkom zavrhol, hneváš sa na nás veľmi preveľmi.
