¹Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.

¹Spomni se, o GOSPOD, kaj nas je zadelo, ozri se in poglej sramoto našo!

²Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.

²Dediščina naša je pripadla tujcem, hiše naše inozemcem.

³We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.

³Sirote smo, brez očeta, matere naše so kakor vdove.

⁴We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.

⁴Vode svoje pijemo za denar, drva svoja dobivamo za plačilo.

⁵Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.

⁵Preganjalci naši nam stopajo na vrat; utrujeni smo, ne dovolijo nam pokoja.

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

⁶Egipčanu molimo roko, tudi Asircu, da se nasitimo kruha.

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

⁷Očetje naši so grešili, in ni jih več; nam pa je nositi njih krivice.

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

⁸Hlapci nam gospodujejo; nikogar ni, ki bi nas oprostil iz njih roke.

⁹We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.

⁹Z nevarnostjo življenja svojega prinašamo kruh svoj spričo meča puščave.

¹⁰Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.

¹⁰Koža naša je začrnela kakor peč zavoljo vroče lakote.

¹¹They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.

¹¹Žene na Sionu so oskrunjali, device po mestih Judovih.

¹²Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.

¹²Poglavarje obešajo njih roke, starčkov obličje se ne časti.

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

¹³Mladeniči nosijo mlinske kamene in dečki padajo pod lesom.

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

¹⁴Starci so nehali shajati se med vrati, mladeniči na petje svoje.

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

¹⁵Minilo je srca našega veselje, v žalost se je preobrnil naš ples.

¹⁶The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!

¹⁶Venec naše glave je padel. Gorje nam! ker smo grešili.

¹⁷For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.

¹⁷Zato omedleva srce naše, zavoljo tega so nam otemnele oči:

¹⁸Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

¹⁸zavoljo gore Sionske, ki je opustošena; lisice prosto hodijo po njej.

¹⁹Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.

¹⁹Ti, GOSPOD, ostaneš vekomaj, prestol tvoj od roda do roda.

²⁰Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?

²⁰Zakaj nas vekomaj pozabljaš, hočeš li nas zapustiti za dolge čase?

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

²¹Pelji nas nazaj k sebi, o GOSPOD, da se povrnemo; ponovi dni naše kakor v prejšnjih časih!Ali bi nas popolnoma zavrgel, razsrdil se zoper nas tako silno?

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

²²Ali bi nas popolnoma zavrgel, razsrdil se zoper nas tako silno?
