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]
Asafa pamācība. Ak Dievs, kāpēc Tu mūs mūžīgi atstūmis, un Tava dusmība kūp pār Tavas ganības avīm?
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].
Piemini Savu draudzi, ko Tu mantojis no veciem laikiem, un Sev par mantību atpestījis, Ciānas kalnu, uz kā Tu dzīvo.
3 Walk along [and see] where everything has been totally ruined; our enemies have destroyed everything in the sacred temple.
Cel Savas kājas uz to mūžīgo postījumu; ienaidnieks visu ir samaitājis svētā vietā.
4 Your enemies shouted triumphantly in this sacred place; they erected their banners [to show they had defeated us].
Tavi pretinieki rūc Tavā namā, savas zīmes tie likuši par zīmēm.
5 They cut down all the [engraved objects in the temple] like woodsmen cut down trees.
Tie izrādās, tā kā biezā mežā cirtēji cirvjus cilā.
6 Then they smashed all the carved wood with their axes and hammers.
Un nu tie viņas izgreznojumu visnotaļ sadauza ar cirvjiem un veseriem.
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.
Tie Tavā svētā vietā met uguni, līdz zemei tie sagāna Tava vārda mājas vietu.
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.
Tie saka savā sirdī: izpostīsim tos(namus) pavisam; visus Dieva lūgšanas namus tai zemē tie ir sadedzinājuši.
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].
Savas zīmes mēs neredzam: neviena pravieša vairs nav, nedz kāda cita pie mums, kas zinātu, cik ilgi tā būs.
10 God, how long will our enemies make fun of you [RHQ]? Will they insult you [MTY] forever [RHQ]?
Cik ilgi, ak Dievs, pretinieks nievās, un ienaidnieks zaimos Tavu vārdu mūžam?
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]?
Kāpēc Tu atrauj Savu roku, ak, Savu labo roku? Izvelc to no Savas azotes un dari galu.
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].
Taču Dievs ir mans ķēniņš no iesākuma, kas pasniedz visu palīgu zemes virsū.
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].
Tu caur Savu spēku jūru esi pāršķīris, Tu esi salauzījis pūķu galvas ūdenī.
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.
Tu esi satriecis levijatana galvas, Tu to esi devis par barību tai tautai tuksnesī.
15 You caused springs and streams to flow, and you [also] dried up rivers that had never dried up previously.
Tu esi izšķēlis avotus un upes, Tu esi izkaltējis varenas upes.
16 You created the days and the nights, and you put the sun and the moon in their places.
Tiem pieder diena un nakts, Tu esi radījis gaismu un sauli.
17 You determined where the oceans end and the land begins, and you created the summer/hot season and the winter/cold season.
Tu zemei esi licis visas robežas, vasaru un ziemu Tu esi darījis.
18 Yahweh, do not forget that your enemies laugh at you, and that it is foolish people who despise you [MTY].
Piemini to, ka ienaidnieks To Kungu nievā, un ģeķu ļaudis zaimo Tavu vārdu.
19 Do not let your helpless people [MET] fall into the hands of their cruel enemies; do not forget your suffering/persecuted people.
Nenodod zvēram Savas ūbeles dvēseli, Savu bēdīgo pulku neaizmirsti mūžam.
20 Do not forget the agreement that you made with us; remember that there are violent people in every dark place on the earth.
Piemini to derību, jo zemes alas ir palikušas par slepkavu bedrēm.
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].
Lai nospiestais neaiziet ar kaunu, lai bēdīgie un nabagi slavē Tavu vārdu.
22 God, arise and defend yourself [by defending your people]! Do not forget that foolish people laugh at you (all day long/continually)!
Celies, Dievs, iztiesā Savas tiesas, piemini tās nievāšanas, kas Tev notiek no tiem ģeķiem ik dienas.
23 Do not forget that your enemies shout angrily [at you]; the uproar that they make [while they oppose you] never stops.
Neaizmirsti Savu pretinieku kliegšanu; to troksni, kas vienmēr pret Tevi no Taviem ienaidniekiem.
