Psalms 44
1 For the Chief Musician; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
Koraha bērnu pamācība. Dziedātāju vadonim. Dievs, ar savām ausīm mēs to esam dzirdējuši, mūsu tēvi to mums ir teikuši: vienu darbu Tu esi darījis viņu laikā sendienās.
2 Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand, and plantedst them in; thou didst afflict the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
Ar savu roku pagānus Tu esi izdzinis, bet viņus Tu esi dēstījis; tautas Tu esi mocījis, bet viņus Tu esi izplatījis.
3 For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
Jo tie to zemi caur savu zobenu nav iemantojuši, un viņu elkonis tiem nav palīdzējis, bet Tava labā roka un Tavs elkonis un Tava vaiga gaišums, jo Tev bija labs prāts pie tiem.
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.
Tu tas esi, ak Dievs, mans ķēniņš; sūti Jēkabam pestīšanu.
5 Through thee will we push down our adversaries: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
Ar Tevi mēs gribam sadauzīt savus ienaidniekus, Tavā vārdā gribam samīt, kas mums ceļas pretim.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
Jo es neceru uz savu stopu, un mans zobens man nevar palīdzēt.
7 But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
Bet Tu mūs izglābi no mūsu pretiniekiem, un Tu mūsu ienaidniekus lieci kaunā.
8 In God have we made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. (Selah)
Ar Dievu mēs lielāmies cauru dienu un pateicamies Tavam vārdam mūžīgi. (Sela)
9 But now thou hast cast [us] off, and brought us to dishonour; and goest not forth with our hosts.
Bet nu Tu mūs atstūmi un lieci mūs kaunā un neizej ar mūsu karaspēku.
10 Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
Tu mūs dzeni atpakaļ priekš mūsu pretiniekiem, ka mūsu ienaidnieki mūs aplaupa.
11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast scattered us among the nations.
Tu mūs nodevi kā avis par barību, un mūs izkaisi starp pagāniem.
12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price.
Tu pārdevi Savus ļaudis pa velti, un nespriedi priekš viņiem nekādas maksas.
13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
Tu mūs cēli par apsmieklu mūsu kaimiņiem, par nievāšanu un apmēdīšanu tiem, kas ir ap mums.
14 Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Tu mūs dari par sakāmu vārdu starp pagāniem, ka tautas par mums galvu krata.
15 All the day long is my dishonour before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
Cauru dienu mans negods man ir klāt, un kauns apklāj manu vaigu
16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.
Mēdītāju un zaimotāju valodas pēc, ienaidnieku un atriebēju dēļ.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
Viss tas mums uzgājis, taču mēs Tevi neesam aizmirsuši, nedz viltīgi darījuši pret Tavu derību.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
Mūsu sirds nav atpakaļ griezusies, nedz mūsu soļi noklīduši no Taviem ceļiem,
19 That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
Ka Tu mūs tā satriec zvēru vidū, un mūs apklāj ar nāves ēnu.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
Ja mēs būtu aizmirsuši sava Dieva vārdu, un pacēluši savas rokas uz kādu svešu dievu,
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Vai Dievs to nevarētu samanīt? Jo Viņš zina sirds noslēpumus.
22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
Bet Tevis pēc mēs topam nāvēti visaugošu dienu, un topam turēti līdzi kaujamām avīm.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.
Uzmosties, Kungs, kāpēc Tu guli? Mosties, neatstum mūžīgi.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
Kāpēc Tu apslēpi Savu vaigu un aizmirsti mūsu bēdas un mokas?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
Jo mūsu dvēsele ir nospiesta pīšļos, mūsu vēders līp pie zemes.
26 Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
Celies mums par palīgu, un izglāb mūs Savas žēlastības dēļ.
