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!
«Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, επί Σουσάν-εδούθ, Μικτάμ του Δαβίδ προς διδασκαλίαν, οπότε επολέμησε την Συρίαν της Μεσοποταμίας και την Συρίαν Σωβά, ο δε Ιωάβ επέστρεψε και επάταξε του Εδώμ εν τη κοιλάδι του άλατος δώδεκα χιλιάδας.» Θεέ, απέρριψας ημάς· διεσκόρπισας ημάς· ωργίσθης· επίστρεψον εις ημάς.
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).
Έσεισας την γήν· διέσχισας αυτήν· ίασαι τα συντρίμματα αυτής, διότι σαλεύεται.
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].
Έδειξας εις τον λαόν σου πράγματα σκληρά· επότισας ημάς οίνον παραφροσύνης.
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.
Έδωκας εις τους φοβουμένους σε σημαίαν, διά να υψόνηται υπέρ της αληθείας. Διάψαλμα.
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.”
Διά να ελευθερόνωνται οι αγαπητοί σου, σώσον διά της δεξιάς σου και επάκουσόν μου.
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.
Ο Θεός ελάλησεν εν τω αγιαστηρίω αυτού· θέλω χαίρει· θέλω μοιράσει την Συχέμ και την κοιλάδα Σοκχώθ θέλω διαμετρήσει.
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];
Εμού είναι ο Γαλαάδ και εμού ο Μανασσής· ο μεν Εφραΐμ είναι η δύναμις της κεφαλής μου· ο δε Ιούδας ο νομοθέτης μου·
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].”
Ο Μωάβ είναι η λεκάνη του νιψίματός μου· επί τον Εδώμ θέλω ρίψει το υπόδημά μου· αλάλαξον επ' εμοί, Παλαιστίνη.
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]
Τις θέλει με φέρει εις την περιτετειχισμένην πόλιν; τις θέλει με οδηγήσει έως Εδώμ;
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].
Ουχί συ, Θεέ, ο απορρίψας ημάς; και δεν θέλεις εξέλθει, Θεέ, μετά των στρατευμάτων ημών;
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Βοήθησον ημάς από της θλίψεως· διότι ματαία είναι η παρά των ανθρώπων σωτηρία.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Διά του Θεού θέλομεν κάμει ανδραγαθίας, και αυτός θέλει καταπατήσει τους εχθρούς ημών.
