< Psalms 75 >

1 We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done [for us].
برای رهبر سرایندگان: در مایۀ «نابود نکن». مزمور آساف. سرود. تو را سپاس می‌گویم ای خدا، تو را سپاس می‌گویم! تو به ما نزدیک هستی و ما کارهای شگفت‌انگیز تو را اعلام می‌کنیم.
2 [You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
خداوند می‌فرماید: «وقتی زمان معین برسد، مردم را از روی عدل و انصاف داوری خواهم کرد.
3 When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will (keep its foundations steady/prevent it from being destroyed).
وقتی زمین بلرزد و ساکنانش هراسان شوند، مَنَم که ارکان آن را محکم نگاه می‌دارم.
4 I say to people who (boast/talk proudly about themselves), ‘Stop bragging!’ and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly [do things to] show how great you are [IDM]!
«به متکبران و شروران می‌گویم که مغرور نباشند
5 Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
و از بلندپروازی و لاف زدن دست بردارند.»
6 The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
زیرا سرافرازی انسان نه از غرب می‌آید نه از شرق و نه از هیچ جای دیگر،
7 God is the one who judges people; he says that some have sinned and must be punished, and that others have not done what is wrong.
بلکه خداست که داوری می‌کند؛ اوست که یکی را سرافراز و دیگری را سرافکنده می‌نماید.
8 [It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
خداوند جامی در دست دارد که از شراب تند و قوی غضب او پر است. او آن را به تمام شریران خواهد نوشانید و آنها آن را تا قطرۀ آخر سر خواهند کشید.
9 But [as for me], I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob [worshiped has done]; I will never quit singing to praise him.
اما من از تعریف و تمجید خدای یعقوب باز نخواهم ایستاد، بلکه پیوسته در وصف او سرود خواهم خواند!
10 He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
او قدرت شریران را در هم خواهد شکست و عادلان را تقویت خواهد نمود.
