¹Remember, O Jehovah, what is come upon us; consider, and see our reproach.

¹Rozpomeň sa, Hospodine, na to, čo sa nám udialo; pohliadni, prosím a vidz našu potupu!

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

²Naše dedičstvo sa prevrátilo a dostalo sa cudzím; naše domy sa dostaly cudzozemcom.

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

³Sirotami sme, bez otca; naše matky sú jako vdovy.

⁴Our water have we to drink for money, our wood cometh unto us for a price.

⁴Svoju vodu pijeme za peniaze; naše drevo prichádza za plat.

⁵Our pursuers are on our necks: we are weary, we have no rest.

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

⁶We have given the hand to Egypt, [and] to Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.

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

⁷Our fathers have sinned, [and] they are not; and we bear their iniquities.

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

⁸Bondmen rule over us: there is no deliverer out of their hand.

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

⁹We have to get our bread at the risk of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.

⁹Za svoje životy dodávame svoj chlieb pre meč na púšti.

¹⁰Our skin gloweth like an oven, because of the burning heat of the famine.

¹⁰Naša koža je vypálená jako pec od horúčosti hladu.

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

¹¹Zhanobili ženy na Sione, panny v mestách Júdových.

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

¹²Kniežatá sú povešané ich rukou; tváre starcov nie sú uctievané.

¹³The young men have borne the mill, and the youths have stumbled under the wood.

¹³Mládenci nosia žernov, a deti klesajú pod drevom;

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁶Spadla koruna s našej hlavy, oj, beda nám, lebo sme hrešili!

¹⁷For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes have grown dim,

¹⁷Preto je naše srdce neduživé; preto sa zatmily naše oči,

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

¹⁸pre vrch Sion, ktorý je spustošený; líšky chodia po ňom.

¹⁹Thou, Jehovah, dwellest for ever; thy throne is from generation to generation.

¹⁹Ty, ó, Hospodine, tróniš na veky; tvoja stolica na pokolenie a pokolenie.

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

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

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

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

²²Or is it that thou hast utterly rejected us? Wouldest thou be exceeding wroth against us?

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