Psalms 80
1 [Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
Jusqu'à la Fin, chant en répons; témoignage d'Asaph, Psaume au sujet de l'Assyrien. Ô pasteur d'Israël sois attentif, toi qui conduis Joseph comme un troupeau de brebis. Ô toi qui es assis sur les chérubins, apparais.
2 Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
Devant Ephraïm, et Benjamin et Manassé; réveille ta puissance, et viens pour nous secourir.
3 God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
Dieu, convertis-nous et montre-nous ta face et nous serons sauvés.
4 Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
Seigneur, Dieu des armées, jusques à quand seras-tu courroucé de la prière de ton serviteur?
5 [It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
Nous donneras-tu à manger un pain de larmes, et nous feras-tu boire des larmes à pleine mesure?
6 You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
Tu nous as mis en contradiction avec nos voisins, et nos ennemis se sont moqués de nous.
7 God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
Seigneur, Dieu des armées, convertis-nous et montre-nous ta face, et nous serons sauvés.
8 [Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
Tu as transplanté une vigne de l'Égypte; tu as chassé les Gentils, et tu l'as plantée sur leur terre.
9 [Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
Tu as fait un chemin devant elle; tu as fait germer ses racines, et la terre en a été remplie.
10 [Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
Son ombre a couvert les montagnes, et ses arbustes ont surpassé les cèdres de Dieu.
11 [your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
Elle a étendu des ceps jusqu'à la mer et des surgeons jusqu'au fleuve.
12 So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
Pourquoi donc as-tu détruit sa clôture, si bien que tous ceux qui passent sur la voie la vendangent?
13 and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
Le sanglier de la forêt l'a dévastée, et une bête solitaire y est venue paître.
14 You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
Dieu des armées, viens à nous; regarde du ciel; et vois; et visite cette vigne.
15 who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
Et restaure-la, elle que ta droite a plantée; aie la main sur le fils de l'homme, que pour toi-même tu as confirmé.
16 Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
Elle a été brûlée par le feu et arrachée; et à cause du blâme de ta face, ton peuple périra.
17 But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
Que ta main soit sur l'homme de ta droite et sur le fils de l'homme, que toi-même tu as confirmé.
18 When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
Et nous ne nous éloignerons point de toi; tu nous vivifieras; et nous invoquerons ton nom.
19 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
Seigneur, Dieu des armées, convertis-nous et montre-nous ta face, et nous serons sauvés.
