Psalms 68
1 God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
Przewodnikowi chóru. Psalm i pieśń Dawida. Niech Bóg powstanie, a rozproszeni będą jego wrogowie; niech pouciekają przed jego obliczem ci, którzy go nienawidzą.
2 Like [wind] blows smoke away, chase your enemies away. Like wax melts when it is near a fire, cause wicked people to (disappear/be destroyed).
Jak dym jest rozwiany, tak [ich] rozpędzisz; jak wosk się rozpływa od ognia, [tak] niegodziwi poginą przed obliczem Boga.
3 But righteous people should be joyful; they should rejoice when they are in God’s presence; they should be happy, and be very joyful.
A sprawiedliwi będą się weselić i cieszyć przed obliczem Boga, i będą się radować niezmiernie.
4 Sing to God; sing to praise him; sing a song (OR, make a road) for him who rides on the clouds; his name is Yahweh; be glad when you are in his presence.
Śpiewajcie Bogu, śpiewajcie psalmy jego imieniu, wywyższajcie tego, który przemierza niebiosa; PAN to jego imię, radujcie się przed jego obliczem.
5 God, who lives in his sacred temple, is [like] [MET] a father to [those who are] orphans, and he is the one who protects widows.
Ojcem dla sierot i sędzią dla wdów jest Bóg w swym świętym przybytku.
6 For those who have no one to live with, he provides families [to live with]. He frees prisoners and enables them to be successful, but those who rebel [against him] will be forced to live in a very hot and dry land.
Bóg samotnym daje dom, więźniów uwalnia z oków, ale oporni mieszkają w suchej ziemi.
7 God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
Boże, gdy wyruszałeś przed swoim ludem, gdy kroczyłeś przez pustynię. (Sela)
8 After you did that, because when you, the God [worshiped by us] Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai [Mountain], the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.
Ziemia się trzęsła, a niebiosa rozpływały się przed obliczem Boga i sama góra Synaj [zadrżała] przed obliczem Boga, Boga Izraela.
9 You caused plenty of rain to fall [on your land], [and so] you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave [to us Israelis].
Zesłałeś obfity deszcz, Boże, otrzeźwiłeś swoje dziedzictwo, gdy omdlewało.
10 Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
Twoje zastępy mieszkają w nim; ty, Boże, w swojej dobroci przygotowałeś [je] dla ubogiego.
11 The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
Pan dał [swoje] słowo, wielki był zastęp zwiastujących dobre wieści.
12 [They proclaimed], “Many kings and their armies are running away [from our army]!” [When our army brought back to their homes] the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things [among themselves and among their families].
Królowie wojsk uciekali, uciekali; a ta, która doglądała domu, dzieliła łupy.
13 Even those women who were in the pens [taking care of] the sheep [received some of those things]; they got statues of doves whose wings were covered with silver and whose feathers were covered with pure yellow gold.
Chociaż musieliście leżeć wśród kotłów, [będziecie] jak skrzydła gołębicy pokryte srebrem, a jej pióra żółtym złotem.
14 When Almighty [God] scattered the [enemy] kings [and their armies], [the number of weapons that they abandoned there] seemed like there had been a snowstorm on Zalmon (OR, a black) [Mountain].
Gdy Wszechmogący rozproszył królów w ziemi, była biała jak śnieg na [górze] Salmon.
15 There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
Góra Boża jest jak góra Baszanu, wzgórze wysokie, jak góra Baszanu.
16 But the [people who live near] that mountain should not [RHQ] envy those who live near [Zion], the mountain on which God chose to live! Yahweh will live there forever!
Dlaczego wyskakujecie, wzgórza wysokie? Na tej górze spodobało się Bogu mieszkać, tam PAN będzie mieszkał na wieki.
17 [After we defeated all our enemies], [it was as though] the Lord, surrounded by many thousands of strong chariots, descended from Sinai [Mountain] and came into the sacred temple [in Jerusalem].
Rydwanów Bożych [jest] dwadzieścia tysięcy, wiele tysięcy aniołów; Pan [przebywa] wśród nich w świątyni, [jak na] Synaju.
18 He ascended the sacred mountain [where his temple is], and took with him many people who had been captured [in battles]; and received gifts from the enemies [whom he had defeated]. He received gifts even from those who had rebelled against him, and Yahweh our God will live there [in his sacred temple] forever.
Wstąpiłeś na wysokość, poprowadziłeś pojmanych jeńców, przyjąłeś dary dla ludzi, nawet dla buntowników, aby PAN Bóg mógł [z nimi] zamieszkać.
19 Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
Błogosławiony Pan; codziennie obsypuje nas [swymi dobrami] Bóg naszego zbawienia. (Sela)
20 Our God is the God who saves us; He is Yahweh, our Lord, the one who (allows us to escape/prevents us) from being killed [in battles].
Nasz Bóg jest Bogiem zbawienia, Pan BÓG wybawia od śmierci.
21 But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
Bóg zrani głowę swoich wrogów i owłosioną czaszkę tego, który trwa w swoich grzechach.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring back the [corpses of those who were killed in] Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean [and drowned].
Pan powiedział: Wyprowadzę znów [swoich] z Baszanu, wyprowadzę [ich] znowu z głębin morskich;
23 I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can [also] lap up some of your enemies’ blood.”
Aby twoja stopa była skąpana we krwi, a język twoich psów [we krwi] wrogów.
24 God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, [celebrating that you have defeated your enemies]. You [march like] a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.
Widzieli twoje pochody, Boże; pochody mego Boga, mego Króla w świątyni.
25 The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.
Przodem szli śpiewacy, za nimi grający na instrumentach, wśród nich dziewczęta uderzające w bębenki.
26 [They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
W zgromadzeniach błogosławcie Boga, Pana, wy, którzy pochodzicie ze źródła Izraela.
27 First come [the people of the tribe of] Benjamin, the smallest [tribe], and following them come the leaders of [the tribe of] Judah and their group, and following them come the leaders of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
Tam [jest] mały Beniamin, który im przewodzi, władcy Judy i ich hufce, władcy Zebulona i władcy Neftalego.
28 God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
Twój Bóg obdarzył cię siłą; umocnij, Boże, to, co dla nas uczyniłeś.
29 Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
Ze względu na twoją świątynię w Jeruzalem królowie będą przynosić ci dary.
30 Rebuke [your enemies, such as those in Egypt who are like] wild hippopotamuses/animals that live in the reeds; and [powerful nations that are like] bulls that are among their calves [MET]; rebuke/trample them until they bow down and give you gifts of silver. Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
Zgrom rzeszę kopijników, stado byków z cielcami ludu, chlubiących się kawałkiem srebra; rozprosz narody pragnące wojny.
31 Then people will bring gifts of bronze (OR, of cloth) to you from Egypt; the people in Ethiopia will lift up their hands [to praise you].
Przyjdą dostojnicy z Egiptu; Etiopia szybko wyciągnie swe ręce do Boga.
32 [You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
Śpiewajcie Bogu, królestwa ziemi, wysławiajcie Pana. (Sela)
33 Sing to the God, the one who rides across the sky, the sky that [he created] long ago. Listen as he shouts with a very powerful voice.
Temu, który przemierza najwyższe niebiosa odwieczne; oto wydaje swój głos, głos potężny.
34 Proclaim that God is very powerful; he is the king that rules over Israel, and in the skies [he also shows that] he is powerful.
Uznajcie moc Boga, jego majestat [jest] nad Izraelem i jego moc w obłokach.
35 God is awesome as he comes out of his sacred temple; he is the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship]. He makes [DOU] his people very powerful. Praise God!
Groźny jesteś, Boże, ze swych świętych przybytków; Bóg Izraela sam daje moc i siłę [swemu] ludowi. [Niech będzie] Bóg błogosławiony.
