Salmos 80
1 Para el músico principal. Con la melodía de “Los Lirios de la Alianza”. Un salmo de Asaf. Escúchanos, Pastor de Israel, tú que conduces a José como un rebaño, tú que te sientas encima de los querubines, resplandece.
[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 Ante Efraín, Benjamín y Manasés, ¡agitad vuestra fuerza! ¡Ven a salvarnos!
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 Vuélvenos, Dios. Haz que tu rostro brille, y nos salvaremos.
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 Yahvé Dios de los Ejércitos, ¿hasta cuándo estarás enojado contra la oración de tu pueblo?
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 Los has alimentado con el pan de las lágrimas, y les dio de beber lágrimas en gran medida.
[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6 Nos conviertes en una fuente de disputa para nuestros vecinos. Nuestros enemigos se ríen entre ellos.
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 Vuélvenos, Dios de los Ejércitos. Haz que tu rostro brille, y nos salvaremos.
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 Has sacado una vid de Egipto. Expulsaste a las naciones y la plantaste.
[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 Has limpiado el terreno para ello. Echó raíces profundas y llenó la tierra.
[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 Las montañas se cubrieron con su sombra. Sus ramas eran como los cedros de Dios.
[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
11 Envió sus ramas al mar, sus brotes al río.
[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
12 ¿Por qué has derribado sus muros? para que todos los que pasen por el camino lo arranquen?
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 El jabalí del bosque lo arrasa. Los animales salvajes del campo se alimentan de ella.
and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
14 Vuélvete, te lo rogamos, Dios de los Ejércitos. Mira desde el cielo, y ve, y visita esta vid,
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 la acción que su mano derecha plantó, la rama que hiciste fuerte para ti.
who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
16 Se ha quemado con fuego. Está cortado. Perecen ante su reprimenda.
Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
17 Que tu mano esté sobre el hombre de tu derecha, en el hijo del hombre que hiciste fuerte para ti.
But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
18 Así que no nos apartaremos de ti. Revívenos, e invocaremos tu nombre.
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 Vuélvenos, Yahvé Dios de los Ejércitos. Haz brillar tu rostro y nos salvaremos.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
