Psalms 79
1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into your heritage; they have made your holy Temple unclean; they have made Jerusalem a mass of broken walls.
Asafa dziesma. Ak Dievs, pagāni Tavā tautā ir ielauzušies, tie ir sagānījuši Tavu svēto namu un Jeruzālemi darījuši par akmeņu kopām;
2 They have given the bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, and the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
Tavu kalpu apkautas miesas tie ir devuši putniem apakš debess par barību, Tavu svēto miesas zemes zvēriem.
3 Their blood has been flowing like water round about Jerusalem; there was no one to put them in their last resting-place.
Viņu asinis tie ir izlējuši ap Jeruzālemi kā ūdeni, un neviena nebija, kas apraka.
4 We are looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and made sport of by those who are round us.
Mēs saviem kaimiņiem esam palikuši par apsmieklu, mūs apmēda un apsmej tie, kas ap mums.
5 How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? will your wrath go on burning like fire?
Cik ilgi, ak Kungs, vai tad Tu gribi mūžīgi dusmot? Vai tad Tavai bardzībai būs degt kā ugunij?
6 Let your wrath be on the nations who have no knowledge of you, and on the kingdoms who have not made prayer to your name.
Izgāz Savu dusmību pār tiem pagāniem, kas Tevi nepazīst, un pār tām valstīm, kas Tavu Vārdu nepiesauc.
7 For they have taken Jacob for their meat, and made waste his house.
Jo tie Jēkabu ēduši un postījuši viņa dzīvokļus.
8 Do not keep in mind against us the sins of our fathers; let your mercy come to us quickly, for we have been made very low.
Nepiemini mums mūsu tēvu noziegumus; steidzies, Tava sirds žēlastība lai mums nāk pretim, jo mēs esam ļoti panīkuši.
9 Give us help, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; take us out of danger and give us forgiveness for our sins, because of your name.
Palīdzi mums, ak Dievs, mūsu Pestītājs, Sava godājamā vārda dēļ un izglāb mūs un piedod mūsu grēkus Sava vārda dēļ.
10 Why may the nations say, Where is their God? Let payment for the blood of your servants be made openly among the nations before our eyes.
Kāpēc pagāniem būs sacīt: kur ir viņu Dievs? Lai pagāni priekš mūsu acīm atzīst, ka Tu atriebi Savu kalpu izlietās asinis.
11 Let the cry of the prisoner come before you; with your strong arm make free the children of death;
Lai cietumnieku nopūšanās nāk Tavā priekšā: uzturi dzīvus nāves bērnus pēc Tava lielā elkoņa,
12 And give punishment seven times over into the breast of our neighbours for the bitter words which they have said against you, O Lord.
Un atmaksā septiņkārt mūsu kaimiņiem viņu klēpī to nievāšanu, ar ko tie Tevi, Kungs, nievājuši.
13 So we your people, and the sheep of your flock, will give you glory for ever: we will go on praising you through all generations.
Tad mēs, Tavi ļaudis un Tavas ganības avis, Tevi teiksim mūžīgi, Tavu slavu sludināsim uz radu radiem.
