Psalmi 79
1 Asafa dziesma. Ak Dievs, pagāni Tavā tautā ir ielauzušies, tie ir sagānījuši Tavu svēto namu un Jeruzālemi darījuši par akmeņu kopām;
A psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.
2 Tavu kalpu apkautas miesas tie ir devuši putniem apakš debess par barību, Tavu svēto miesas zemes zvēriem.
They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth.
3 Viņu asinis tie ir izlējuši ap Jeruzālemi kā ūdeni, un neviena nebija, kas apraka.
They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem and there was none to bury them.
4 Mēs saviem kaimiņiem esam palikuši par apsmieklu, mūs apmēda un apsmej tie, kas ap mums.
We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 Cik ilgi, ak Kungs, vai tad Tu gribi mūžīgi dusmot? Vai tad Tavai bardzībai būs degt kā ugunij?
How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?
6 Izgāz Savu dusmību pār tiem pagāniem, kas Tevi nepazīst, un pār tām valstīm, kas Tavu Vārdu nepiesauc.
Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7 Jo tie Jēkabu ēduši un postījuši viņa dzīvokļus.
Because they have devoured Jacob; and have laid waste his place.
8 Nepiemini mums mūsu tēvu noziegumus; steidzies, Tava sirds žēlastība lai mums nāk pretim, jo mēs esam ļoti panīkuši.
Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor.
9 Palīdzi mums, ak Dievs, mūsu Pestītājs, Sava godājamā vārda dēļ un izglāb mūs un piedod mūsu grēkus Sava vārda dēļ.
Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:
10 Kāpēc pagāniem būs sacīt: kur ir viņu Dievs? Lai pagāni priekš mūsu acīm atzīst, ka Tu atriebi Savu kalpu izlietās asinis.
Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes, By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed:
11 Lai cietumnieku nopūšanās nāk Tavā priekšā: uzturi dzīvus nāves bērnus pēc Tava lielā elkoņa,
Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee. According to the greatness of thy arm, take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.
12 Un atmaksā septiņkārt mūsu kaimiņiem viņu klēpī to nievāšanu, ar ko tie Tevi, Kungs, nievājuši.
And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
13 Tad mēs, Tavi ļaudis un Tavas ganības avis, Tevi teiksim mūžīgi, Tavu slavu sludināsim uz radu radiem.
But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks to thee for ever. We will shew forth thy praise, unto generation and generation.
