¹Jie vargino mane nuo pat jaunystės,­tesako Izraelis,­

¹Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

²jie vargino mane nuo pat jaunystės, tačiau nenugalėjo.

²many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

³Artojai ant mano nugaros arė, išvarydami ilgas vagas.

³The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

⁴Bet teisusis Viešpats nedorėlių pančius sutraukė.

⁴Yahweh is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

⁵Tesusigėsta ir pasitraukia visi, kurie nekenčia Siono.

⁵Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

⁶Tebūna jie kaip stogo žolė, kuri, dar neužaugusi, nuvysta;

⁶Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up;

⁷nesusirenka iš jos net sauja pjovėjui nei mažiausias pėdas rišėjui.

⁷with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

⁸Praeiviai, eidami pro šalį, nesako jiems: “Tepalaimina tave Viešpats. Mes laiminame tave Viešpaties vardu”.

⁸Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of Yahweh be on you. We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”
