Psalmi 80
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ljiljan svjedočanstva”. Asafov. Psalam. Pastiru Izraelov, počuj, ti što vodiš Josipa k'o stado ovaca! Ti što sjediš nad kerubima, zablistaj
[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.
2 pred Efrajimom, Benjaminom, Manašeom: probudi silu svoju, priteci nam u pomoć!
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!
3 Bože, obnovi nas, razvedri lice svoje i spasi nas!
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.]
4 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, dokle ćeš plamtjeti, premda se moli narod tvoj?
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?
5 Dokle ćeš nas hraniti kruhom suza i obilno pojiti suzama?
[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6 Dokle će se oko nas svađat' susjedi i rugat' nam se naši dušmani?
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.
7 Bože nad Vojskama, obnovi nas, razvedri lice svoje i spasi nas!
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!
8 Ti prenese čokot iz Egipta, pogane istjera, a njega zasadi.
[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.
9 Ti mu tlo pripravi, i on pusti korijenje i napuni zemlju.
[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].
10 Sjena mu prekri bregove, lozje mu k'o Božji cedrovi.
[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
11 Mladice svoje ispruži do mora i svoje ogranke do Rijeke.
[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
12 Zašto si mu srušio ogradu da ga beru svi što putem prolaze,
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,
13 da ga pustoši vepar iz šume, da ga pasu poljske zvijeri?
and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
14 Vrati se, Bože nad Vojskama, pogledaj s neba i vidi, obiđi ovaj vinograd:
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,
15 zakrili što zasadi desnica tvoja, sina kog za se odgoji!
who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
16 Oni koji ga spališe i posjekoše nek' izginu od prijetnje lica tvojega!
Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
17 Tvoja ruka nek' bude nad čovjekom desnice tvoje, nad sinom čovječjim kog za se odgoji!
But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
18 Nećemo se više odmetnuti od tebe; poživi nas, a mi ćemo zazivati ime tvoje.
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.
19 Jahve, Bože nad Vojskama, obnovi nas, razvedri lice svoje i spasi nas!
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
