Psalms 79
1 God, other people-groups have invaded your land. They have (desecrated your temple/caused your temple to be unfit for worship), and they have destroyed all the buildings in Jerusalem.
Боже! Незнабошци дођоше у достојање Твоје; оскврнише свету цркву Твоју, Јерусалим претворише у зидине.
2 [Instead of burying] the corpses of your people [whom they killed], they allowed vultures and wild animals to eat the flesh of those corpses,
Трупље слуга Твојих дадоше птицама небеским да их једу, тела светаца Твојих зверима земаљским.
3 When they killed your people, your people’s blood flowed like water through [the streets of] Jerusalem, and there was [almost] no one [HYP] left to bury their corpses.
Пролише крв њихову као воду око Јерусалима, и не беше ко да погребе.
4 The people-groups that live in countries that surround our land insult us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
Постадосмо подсмех у суседа својих, ругају нам се и срамоте нас који су око нас.
5 Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you be angry with us forever? Will your being angry [destroy us like] a burning fire [destroys things]?
Докле ћеш се, Господе, једнако гневити, јарост Твоја горети као огањ?
6 [Instead of being angry with us], be angry with the people-groups that do not know/worship you! Be angry with kingdoms whose people do not pray to you,
Излиј гнев свој на народе који Те не знају, и на царства која не призивају Твоје име.
7 because they have killed Israeli people and they have ruined your country.
Јер изједоше Јакова, и насеље његово опустеше.
8 Do not punish us because of the sins that our ancestors committed! Be merciful to us now/quickly, because we are very discouraged.
Не помињи пређашња безакоња наша, већ похитај да нас пресретеш милосрђем својим, јер смо веома олошали.
9 God, you have saved/rescued [us many times], [so] help us [now]; rescue us and forgive us for having sinned in order that other people will honor you [MTY].
Помози нам, Боже, Спаситељу наш, ради славе имена свог, избави нас и очисти од греха наших ради имена свог.
10 It is not right that [RHQ] other people-groups say [about us], “If their God [is very powerful], (surely he should help them/why does he not [help them])?” Allow us to see you punishing the people of other nations in return for their shedding our blood; they have killed many of us, your people.
Зашто да говоре незнабошци: Где је Бог њихов? Нека се покаже пред очима нашим освета над незнабошцима за пролиту крв слуга Твојих!
11 Listen to your people groaning while they are in prison, and by your great power free those whom our enemies say that they will certainly execute.
Нека изађу пред лице Твоје уздаси сужањски, силом мишице своје сачувај намењене смрти.
12 In return for their having [often] insulted you, punish them seven times as much!
Седмином врати у недра суседима нашим ружење, којим Те ружише, Господе!
13 After you do that, we, whom you [take care of like a shepherd takes care of] his sheep, will continue praising you; we will continue to praise you forever [HYP].
А ми, народ Твој и овце паше Твоје, довека ћемо Тебе славити и од колена на колено казивати хвалу Твоју.
