Ψαλμοί 80
1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, επί Σοσανίμ-εδούθ. Ψαλμός του Ασάφ.» Ακροάσθητι, ο ποιμαίνων τον Ισραήλ, συ ο οδηγών ως ποίμνιον τον Ιωσήφ· ο καθήμενος επί των χερουβείμ, εμφανίσθητι.
[Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
2 Έμπροσθεν του Εφραΐμ και του Βενιαμίν και του Μανασσή διέγειρον την δύναμίν σου και ελθέ εις σωτηρίαν ημών.
Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
3 Επίστρεψον ημάς, Θεέ, και επίλαμψον το πρόσωπόν σου, και θέλομεν λυτρωθή.
God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
4 Κύριε Θεέ των δυνάμεων, έως πότε θέλεις οργίζεσθαι κατά της προσευχής του λαού σου;
Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
5 Τρέφεις αυτούς με άρτον δακρύων και ποτίζεις αυτούς αφθόνως με δάκρυα.
[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6 Έκαμες ημάς έριδα εις τους γείτονας ημών· και οι εχθροί ημών γελώσι μεταξύ αλλήλων.
You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
7 Επίστρεψον ημάς, Θεέ των δυνάμεων, και επίλαμψον το πρόσωπον σου, και θέλομεν λυτρωθή.
God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
8 Άμπελον εξ Αιγύπτου μετεκόμισας· εξεδίωξας έθνη και εφύτευσας αυτήν.
[Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
9 Ητοίμασας τόπον έμπροσθεν αυτής και βαθέως ερρίζωσας αυτήν· και εγέμισε την γην.
[Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
10 Εσκεπάσθησαν τα όρη υπό της σκιάς αυτής, και αι αναδενδράδες αυτής ήσαν ως αι υψηλαί κέδροι.
[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
11 Εξέτεινε τα κλήματα αυτής έως θαλάσσης και τους βλαστούς αυτής έως του ποταμού.
[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
12 Διά τι εκρήμνισας τους φραγμούς αυτής, και τρυγώσιν αυτήν πάντες οι διαβαίνοντες την οδόν;
So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
13 Ερημόνει αυτήν ο αγριόχοιρος εκ του δάσους, και το θηρίον του αγρού νέμεται αυτήν.
and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
14 Επίστρεψον, δεόμεθα, Θεέ των δυνάμεων· επίβλεψον εξ ουρανού και ιδέ, και επίσκεψαι την άμπελον ταύτην,
You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
15 και το φυτόν, το οποίον εφύτευσεν η δεξιά σου και τον βλαστόν, τον οποίον εκραταίωσας εις σεαυτόν.
who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
16 Εκαύθη εν πυρί· εκόπη· εχάθησαν από επιτιμήσεως του προσώπου σου.
Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
17 Ας ήναι η χειρ σου επί τον άνδρα της δεξιάς σου· επί τον υιόν του ανθρώπου, τον οποίον έκαμες δυνατόν εις σεαυτόν.
But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
18 Και ημείς δεν θέλομεν εκκλίνει από σού· ζωοποίησον ημάς, και το όνομά σου θέλομεν επικαλείσθαι.
When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
19 Επίστρεψον ημάς, Κύριε Θεέ των δυνάμεων· επίλαμψον το πρόσωπόν σου, και θέλομεν λυτρωθή.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
