Psalms 80
1 [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.
Salmo di Asaf, [dato] al Capo de' Musici sopra Sosannim-edut O PASTORE d'Israele, che guidi Giuseppe come una greggia, Porgi gli orecchi; Tu che siedi sopra i Cherubini, Apparisci in gloria.
2 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!
Eccita la tua potenza davanti ad Efraim, ed a Beniamino, ed a Manasse; E vieni a nostra salute.
3 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.]
O Dio, ristoraci; E fa' risplendere il tuo volto, e noi saremo salvati.
4 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?
O Signore Iddio degli eserciti, Infino a quando fumerai tu contro all'orazione del tuo popolo?
5 [It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
Tu li hai cibati di pan di pianto, E li hai abbeverati di lagrime a larga misura.
6 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.
Tu ci hai posti [in] contesa co' nostri vicini; E i nostri nemici si fanno beffe [di noi].
7 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!
O Dio degli eserciti, ristoraci; E fa' risplendere il tuo volto, e noi saremo salvati.
8 [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.
Tu avevi trasportata di Egitto una vigna; Tu avevi cacciate le nazioni, e l'avevi piantata.
9 [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].
Tu avevi sgomberato davanti a lei [il suo luogo]; Ed avevi fatto ch'ella aveva messe radici, ed aveva empiuta la terra.
10 [Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
I monti erano coperti della sua ombra, E i suoi tralci [erano come] cedri altissimi.
11 [your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
Aveva gettati i suoi rami infino al mare, E i suoi rampolli infino al fiume.
12 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,
Perchè hai tu rotte le sue chiusure, Sì che tutti i passanti l'han vendemmiata?
13 and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
I cinghiali l'hanno guastata, E le fiere della campagna l'hanno pascolata.
14 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,
O Dio degli eserciti, rivolgiti, ti prego; Riguarda dal cielo, e vedi, e visita questa vigna.
15 who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
E le piante che la tua destra aveva piantate, E le propaggini [che] tu ti avevi fortificate.
16 Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
[Quella è] arsa col fuoco, ella è ricisa fino dal piè; [Quelle] periscono per lo sgridar della tua faccia.
17 But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
Sia la tua mano sopra l'uomo della tua destra, Sopra il figliuol dell'uomo [che] tu ti avevi fortificato.
18 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.
E noi non ci trarremo indietro da te; Mantienci in vita, e noi invocheremo il tuo Nome.
19 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
O Signore Iddio degli eserciti, ristoraci; Fa' risplendere il tuo volto, e noi saremo salvati.
