Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
Przewodnikowi chóru, n[a Sussanedut. Miktam Dawida dla pouczenia]; [gdy walczył przeciw Syryjczykom Nacharaim i przeciw Syryjczykom Soby, gdy Joab, wracając, pobił dwanaście tysięcy Edomitów w Dolinie Soli. ] Boże, odrzuciłeś nas, rozproszyłeś nas [i] rozgniewałeś się; powróć znowu do nas.
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
Wstrząsnąłeś ziemią i rozdarłeś ją; ulecz jej rozpadliny, bo się chwieje.
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
Okazywałeś twemu ludowi ciężkie rzeczy, napoiłeś nas winem odurzającym.
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
Dałeś chorągiew tym, którzy się ciebie boją, aby wynieśli ją z powodu [twej] prawdy. (Sela)
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
Aby byli ocaleni twoi umiłowani, wybaw [ich] swoją prawicą i wysłuchaj mnie.
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
Bóg przemówił w swojej świętości; będę się radował, rozdzielę Sychem i wymierzę dolinę Sukkot.
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
Mój [jest] Gilead, mój i Manasses, Efraim mocą mojej głowy, Juda moim prawodawcą.
8 but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moab moją misą do mycia, na Edom wrzucę mój but; Filisteo, wykrzykuj z mojego powodu.
9 [Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
Kto mnie wprowadzi do miasta warownego? Kto mnie doprowadzi aż do Edomu?
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
Czy nie ty, o Boże, który nas odrzuciłeś i nie wychodziłeś, Boże, z naszymi wojskami?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Udziel nam pomocy w utrapieniu, bo próżna jest pomoc ludzka.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
W Bogu będziemy mężni, bo on podepcze naszych nieprzyjaciół.
