< 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.
Escucha, oh Guardián de Israel, guiando a José como un rebaño; tú que tienes tu asiento con los ángeles. deja que se vea tu gloria.
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!
Delante de Efraín, de Benjamín y de Manasés, despierta de tu sueño, y ven a salvarnos.
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.]
Llévanos de nuevo, oh Dios; veamos el brillo de tu rostro y déjanos estar a salvo.
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?
Oh Jehová Dios de los ejércitos, ¿hasta cuándo se encenderá tu ira contra la oración de tu pueblo?
5 [It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
Les diste el pan de llanto para comer; por su bebida les has dado tristeza en gran medida.
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.
Nos haces causa de guerra entre nuestros vecinos; nuestros enemigos se están riendo de nosotros entre ellos.
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!
Llévanos de nuevo, oh Dios de los ejércitos; veamos el brillo de tu rostro y déjanos estar a salvo.
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.
Sacaste una vid de Egipto, expulsando a las naciones y plantando en su tierra.
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].
Preparó un lugar para ello, para que arraigara profundamente, y envió sus ramas sobre toda la tierra.
10 [Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
Las montañas estaban cubiertas con su sombra, y los grandes árboles con sus ramas.
11 [your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
Envió sus armas al mar, y sus ramas al río.
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,
¿Por qué derribar sus muros con tus manos, para que todos los que pasan puedan tomar su fruto?
13 and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
Es desarraigado por los cerdos del bosque, las bestias del campo obtienen su alimento de él.
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,
Vuelve, oh Dios de los ejércitos: desde el cielo vuelven tus ojos a esta vid, y concéntrate en ella,
15 who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
Hasta el árbol que fue plantado a tu diestra, y al árbol que para ti afirmaste.
16 Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
Se quema con fuego; es cortado: son destruidos por la ira de tu rostro.
17 But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
Sea tu mano sobre el varón de tu diestra, sobre el hijo de hombre, que para ti afirmaste.
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.
Así no nos apartaremos de ti; guárdanos en la vida y alabaremos tu nombre.
19 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
Llévanos, oh Jehová Dios de los ejércitos; restáuranos! veamos el brillo de tu rostro y déjanos estar a salvo.
