Psalms 68
1 God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
Al maestro de coro. Salmo de David. Cántico. Alzase Dios; sus enemigos se dispersan, y huyen ante Él sus adversarios.
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).
Como se desvanece el humo, así se disipan; como se derrite la cera junto al fuego, así perecen los impíos ante la faz de Dios.
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.
Los justos están alegres, saltan de júbilo en la presencia de Dios, y se regocijan con deleite.
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.
Celebrad a Dios, entonad salmos a su Nombre; abrid camino al que viene a través del desierto. “El Señor” es su nombre, gozaos delante de Él.
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.
Padre de los huérfanos y defensor de las viudas, Dios está en su santa morada.
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.
Dios prepara un hogar a los desamparados, saca a prosperidad a los cautivos, solo los rebeldes se quedan en el tórrido desierto.
7 God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
Dios cuando Tú saliste a la cabeza de tu pueblo, cuando avanzabas por el desierto,
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.
se estremeció la tierra; también los cielos destilaron a la vista de Dios, [el mismo Sinaí tembló delante de Dios] el Dios de Israel.
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].
Lluvia generosa derramaste, oh Dios, sobre tu heredad; estaba agotada y la renovaste.
10 Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
En ella habitó tu grey; en tu bondad, oh Dios, proveías a los necesitados.
11 The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
El Señor cumple su palabra: las buenas nuevas llegan en tropel:
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].
“Huyen reyes y ejércitos, huyen; y las mujeres de la casa reparten el botín.
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.
Mientras vosotros descansabais recostados entre los apriscos, las alas de la paloma brillaban plateadas y las plumas de la misma atornasoladas de oro.
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].
Cuando el Omnipotente dispersaba a los reyes parecía caer nieve sobre el Salmón.”
15 There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
Montes grandes son los montes de Basan, montañas de altas cumbres son los montes de Basan.
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!
¿Por qué, oh montes encumbrados, miráis con envidia el monte que Dios escogió para su morada? Sí, en él habitará Yahvé para siempre.
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].
Millares y millares forman la carroza de Dios; en medio de ellos viene el Señor del Sinaí al Santuario.
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.
Subiste a lo alto llevando cautivos; recibiste en don hombres; aun los rebeldes habitarán junto a Yah (nuestro) Dios.
19 Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
¡Bendito sea el Señor, día tras día! Dios, salvación nuestra, lleva nuestras cargas.
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].
El Dios nuestro es un Dios que salva; por el Señor Yahvé escapamos a la muerte.
21 But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
Porque Dios quebrantará la cabeza de sus enemigos, el altivo penacho de los que se pasean en sus delitos.
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].
El Señor dijo: “De Basan los sacaré, los sacaré de lo profundo del océano;
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.”
para que hundas tu pie en la sangre de tus enemigos y en ella tenga parte la lengua de los perros.”
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.
Se ve tu entrada, oh Dios, la entrada de mi Dios, de mi Rey, en el Santuario.
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.
Cantores van delante, en pos van los tañedores; en medio, las doncellas baten los címbalos (cantando):
26 [They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
“Bendecid a Dios con alegría, bendecid al Señor los hijos de Israel.”
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.
Allí está Benjamín, el más joven, precediéndolos; los príncipes de Judá y su séquito, los príncipes de Zabulón, los príncipes de Neftalí.
28 God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
Despliega, oh Dios, tu poderío; poderío que asumes, oh Dios, en favor nuestro.
29 Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
A causa de tu templo que está en Jerusalén, te ofrezcan tributos los reyes.
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.
Increpa a la bestia del cañaveral y la multitud de los poderosos, dominadores de los pueblos. Suprime a los ávidos de plata. ¡Dispersa a los pueblos, que se gozan en las guerras!
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].
Vengan los magnates de Egipto, levante Etiopía sus manos a Dios,
32 [You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
Reinos de la tierra, celebrad a Dios, entonad salmos al Señor,
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.
a Aquel que cabalga por los cielos, los antiguos cielos; al que hace resonar su voz, su voz poderosa.
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.
Reconoced la potestad de Dios, su majestad es sobre Israel, y su poder en las nubes.
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!
Terrible es Dios desde su Santuario, el Dios de Israel, el que da potestad y vigor a su pueblo. ¡Bendito sea Dios!
