Psalms 83
1 God, do not continue to be silent! Do not be quiet and say nothing,
Canticum Psalmi Asaph. [Deus, quis similis erit tibi? ne taceas, neque compescaris, Deus:
2 because your enemies are rioting against you; those who hate you are rebelling against you!
quoniam ecce inimici tui sonuerunt, et qui oderunt te extulerunt caput.
3 They are secretly planning to do things to harm [us], your people; they are (conspiring together against/planning how to defeat) the people whom you protect.
Super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium, et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos.
4 They say, “Come, we must destroy their nation, with the result that no one will remember that Israel ever existed!”
Dixerunt: Venite, et disperdamus eos de gente, et non memoretur nomen Israël ultra.
5 They have agreed on [what they want to do to destroy Israel], and they have formed an alliance against you.
Quoniam cogitaverunt unanimiter; simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt:
6 [The people who have done that are] the people of Edom [region], the descendants of Ishmael [who live on the east side of the Jordan River], the Moab [people-group], the descendants of Hagar [who also live on the east side of the Jordan River],
tabernacula Idumæorum et Ismahelitæ, Moab et Agareni,
7 Gebal [people-group], the Ammon [people-group], the Amalek [people-group], the Philistia [people-group], and the people of Tyre [city].
Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec; alienigenæ cum habitantibus Tyrum.
8 [The people of] have joined them; they are strong allies of the [Moab and Ammon people-groups, who are] descendants of [Abraham’s nephew] Lot.
Etenim Assur venit cum illis: facti sunt in adjutorium filiis Lot.
9 [God], do to those people things like you did to the Midian [people-group], like [you did] to Sisera and Jabin at Kishon River.
Fac illis sicut Madian et Sisaræ, sicut Jabin in torrente Cisson.
10 You destroyed them at Endor [town], and their corpses [lay on] the ground and decayed.
Disperierunt in Endor; facti sunt ut stercus terræ.
11 Do to them things like you did to [Kings] Oreb and Zeeb; defeat their leaders like you defeated Zebah and Zalmunna,
Pone principes eorum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, et Zebee, et Salmana: omnes principes eorum,
12 who said, “We will take for ourselves the land that [the Israelis say] belongs to God!”
qui dixerunt: Hæreditate possideamus sanctuarium Dei.
13 My God, cause them [to disappear quickly] like whirling dust, like chaff that the wind blows away!
Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam, et sicut stipulam ante faciem venti.
14 Like a fire completely burns a forest and like flames burn in the mountains,
Sicut ignis qui comburit silvam, et sicut flamma comburens montes,
15 expel them by sending storms; cause them to be terrified by your big storms/hurricanes!
ita persequeris illos in tempestate tua, et in ira tua turbabis eos.
16 Cause them [SYN] to be very ashamed in order that they will admit that you are very powerful.
Imple facies eorum ignominia, et quærent nomen tuum, Domine.
17 Cause them to be forever disgraced [because of being defeated], and cause them to die while they are still disgraced.
Erubescant, et conturbentur in sæculum sæculi, et confundantur, et pereant.
18 Cause them to know that you, whose name is Yahweh, are the supreme ruler over everything on the earth.
Et cognoscant quia nomen tibi Dominus: tu solus Altissimus in omni terra.]
