Psalms 74
1 God, why have you abandoned/rejected us? Will you keep rejecting us forever [RHQ]? Why are you angry with us, since we are like sheep in your pasture [and you are like our shepherd]? [MET, RHQ]
亚萨的训诲诗。 神啊，你为何永远丢弃我们呢？ 你为何向你草场的羊发怒，如烟冒出呢？
2 Do not forget your people whom you chose long ago, the people whom you freed [from being slaves in Egypt] and caused to become your tribe. Do not forget Jerusalem, which was (your home/where you dwelt) [on this earth].
求你记念你古时所得来的会众， 就是你所赎、作你产业支派的， 并记念你向来所居住的锡安山。
3 Walk along [and see] where everything has been totally ruined; our enemies have destroyed everything in the sacred temple.
求你举步去看那日久荒凉之地， 仇敌在圣所中所行的一切恶事。
4 Your enemies shouted triumphantly in this sacred place; they erected their banners [to show they had defeated us].
你的敌人在你会中吼叫； 他们竖了自己的旗为记号。
5 They cut down all the [engraved objects in the temple] like woodsmen cut down trees.
他们好像人扬起斧子， 砍伐林中的树。
6 Then they smashed all the carved wood with their axes and hammers.
圣所中一切雕刻的， 他们现在用斧子锤子打坏了。
7 [Then] they burned your temple to the ground; they caused that place where you were worshiped to be unfit for people to worship in.
他们用火焚烧你的圣所， 亵渎你名的居所，拆毁到地。
8 They said to themselves, “We will destroy the Israelis completely,” and they [also] burned down all the other places where we gathered to worship God.
他们心里说：我们要尽行毁灭； 他们就在遍地把 神的会所都烧毁了。
9 All our sacred symbols (OR, miracles) are gone; there are no prophets now/any more, and no one knows how long [this situation will continue].
我们不见我们的标帜，不再有先知； 我们内中也没有人知道这灾祸要到几时呢！
10 God, how long will our enemies make fun of you [RHQ]? Will they insult you [MTY] forever [RHQ]?
神啊，敌人辱骂要到几时呢？ 仇敌亵渎你的名要到永远吗？
11 Why do you refuse to help [MTY, RHQ] us? Why do you keep your hand inside your cloak [instead of using it to destroy our enemies] [RHQ]?
你为什么缩回你的右手？ 求你从怀中伸出来，毁灭他们。
12 God, you have been our king [all the time] since we came out of Egypt [HYP], and you have enabled us to defeat [our enemies] in the land [of Israel].
神自古以来为我的王， 在地上施行拯救。
13 By your power you caused the [Red] Sea to divide; [it was as though] you smashed the heads of the [rulers of Egypt who were like] huge sea dragons [MET].
你曾用能力将海分开， 将水中大鱼的头打破。
14 [It was as though] you crushed the head of the king of Egypt [MET] and gave his body to the animals in the desert to eat.
你曾砸碎鳄鱼的头， 把它给旷野的禽兽为食物。
15 You caused springs and streams to flow, and you [also] dried up rivers that had never dried up previously.
你曾分裂磐石，水便成了溪河； 你使长流的江河干了。
16 You created the days and the nights, and you put the sun and the moon in their places.
白昼属你，黑夜也属你； 亮光和日头是你所预备的。
17 You determined where the oceans end and the land begins, and you created the summer/hot season and the winter/cold season.
地的一切疆界是你所立的； 夏天和冬天是你所定的。
18 Yahweh, do not forget that your enemies laugh at you, and that it is foolish people who despise you [MTY].
耶和华啊，仇敌辱骂， 愚顽民亵渎了你的名，求你记念这事。
19 Do not let your helpless people [MET] fall into the hands of their cruel enemies; do not forget your suffering/persecuted people.
不要将你斑鸠的性命交给野兽； 不要永远忘记你困苦人的性命。
20 Do not forget the agreement that you made with us; remember that there are violent people in every dark place on the earth.
求你顾念所立的约， 因为地上黑暗之处都满了强暴的居所。
21 Do not allow your oppressed people to be disgraced; help those poor and needy people in order that they will [again] praise you [MTY].
不要叫受欺压的人蒙羞回去； 要叫困苦穷乏的人赞美你的名。
22 God, arise and defend yourself [by defending your people]! Do not forget that foolish people laugh at you (all day long/continually)!
神啊，求你起来为自己伸诉！ 要记念愚顽人怎样终日辱骂你。
23 Do not forget that your enemies shout angrily [at you]; the uproar that they make [while they oppose you] never stops.
不要忘记你敌人的声音； 那起来敌你之人的喧哗时常上升。
