Psalmi 79
1 Asafa dziesma. Ak Dievs, pagāni Tavā tautā ir ielauzušies, tie ir sagānījuši Tavu svēto namu un Jeruzālemi darījuši par akmeņu kopām;
[A Psalm by Asaph.] God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 Tavu kalpu apkautas miesas tie ir devuši putniem apakš debess par barību, Tavu svēto miesas zemes zvēriem.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your faithful to the animals of the earth.
3 Viņu asinis tie ir izlējuši ap Jeruzālemi kā ūdeni, un neviena nebija, kas apraka.
Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4 Mēs saviem kaimiņiem esam palikuši par apsmieklu, mūs apmēda un apsmej tie, kas ap mums.
We have become objects of contempt to our neighbors, mocked and ridiculed by those who are around us.
5 Cik ilgi, ak Kungs, vai tad Tu gribi mūžīgi dusmot? Vai tad Tavai bardzībai būs degt kā ugunij?
How long, YHWH? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Izgāz Savu dusmību pār tiem pagāniem, kas Tevi nepazīst, un pār tām valstīm, kas Tavu Vārdu nepiesauc.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you; on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;
7 Jo tie Jēkabu ēduši un postījuši viņa dzīvokļus.
For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
8 Nepiemini mums mūsu tēvu noziegumus; steidzies, Tava sirds žēlastība lai mums nāk pretim, jo mēs esam ļoti panīkuši.
Do not hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
9 Palīdzi mums, ak Dievs, mūsu Pestītājs, Sava godājamā vārda dēļ un izglāb mūs un piedod mūsu grēkus Sava vārda dēļ.
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.
10 Kāpēc pagāniem būs sacīt: kur ir viņu Dievs? Lai pagāni priekš mūsu acīm atzīst, ka Tu atriebi Savu kalpu izlietās asinis.
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.
11 Lai cietumnieku nopūšanās nāk Tavā priekšā: uzturi dzīvus nāves bērnus pēc Tava lielā elkoņa,
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, free those who are sentenced to death.
12 Un atmaksā septiņkārt mūsu kaimiņiem viņu klēpī to nievāšanu, ar ko tie Tevi, Kungs, nievājuši.
Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their lap the insults with which they have insulted you, YHWH.
13 Tad mēs, Tavi ļaudis un Tavas ganības avis, Tevi teiksim mūžīgi, Tavu slavu sludināsim uz radu radiem.
So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
