Psalms 94
1 Yahweh, you are able to get revenge [on your enemies]. [So] show them that you are going to punish them!
Oh Dios, en cuyas manos está el castigo, oh Dios del castigo, que se vea tu rostro resplandeciente.
2 You are the one who judges all [people on] the earth; [so] arise, and give/punish the proud [leaders of our] people like they deserve.
Engrandecete, oh juez de la tierra; que su recompensa llegue a los hombres de orgullo.
3 Yahweh, how long will those wicked [people] be glad/happy? It is not right that [RHQ] they continue being glad!
¿Hasta cuándo los pecadores, oh Señor, cuánto tiempo los pecadores tendrán gozo por nosotros?
4 They do evil things, and they boast about doing them; how long will they [be allowed to] continue doing that?
Las palabras de orgullo provienen de sus labios; todos los malhechores dicen grandes cosas de sí mismos.
5 Yahweh, [it is as though] those wicked people crush [us], your people; they (oppress/treat cruelly) those who belong to you [DOU].
Tu pueblo es aplastado por ellos, oh Señor, tu herencia está turbada,
6 They murder widows and orphans and people from other countries who [think it is safe to] live in our land.
Ellos mataron a la viuda y al invitado; se quitaron la vida de niños los niños huérfanos;
7 Those wicked people say, “Yahweh does not see anything; [so] the God whom those Israelis [worship] does not see [the evil things that we do].”
Y dicen: No lo verá JAH, el Dios de Jacob no entenderá.
8 You evil people [who rule Israel], you are foolish and stupid; when will you become wise [RHQ]?
Da tu mente a mis palabras, tú que estás sin sabiduría entre la gente; Necios, ¿cuándo serás sabio?
9 God made our ears; so [do you think that] he cannot hear [what you say] [RHQ]? He created our eyes; so do you think that he cannot see [the evil things that you do] [RHQ]?
¿Aquel a quien te ha formado orejas, no oirá? ¿O es ciego por quien se formaron tus ojos?
10 He also scolds [the leaders of other] nations; so do you think that he will not punish [you] [RHQ]? He is the one who knows everything; [so why do you think that he does not know what you do] [RHQ]?
El que juzga las naciones, ¿no dará a los hombres la recompensa de sus actos, y acaso no ha de saber el que da conocimiento al hombre?
11 Yahweh knows [everything] that people are thinking; he knows that what they think ([is useless/vanishes as quickly as]) smoke [MET].
El Señor tiene conocimiento de los pensamientos del hombre, que son vanidad.
12 Yahweh, you are pleased with people who [want you to] discipline/correct them, those who [want you to] teach them your laws.
Feliz es el hombre que es guiado por ti, oh Jah, corriges a quien le das enseñanza de tu ley;
13 When those people have had troubles, you cause those troubles to cease, and some day [it will be as though] you will dig pits for wicked people, and they will fall into those pits [and die].
Para que le des descanso de los días del mal, en tanto se cava hoyo para la destrucción de los pecadores.
14 Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert like that those who belong to him [DOU].
El Señor no abandonará a su pueblo ni le quitará su apoyo de su pueblo;
15 [Some day] judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest/righteous people will be pleased about that.
Pero las decisiones se volverán a hacer justas; y serán guardadas por todos aquellos cuyos corazones sean verdaderos.
16 But when wicked [people] ([oppressed me/treated me cruelly]), (who defended me?/no one defended me.) [RHQ] No one stood up to testify for me against those evil people [RHQ].
¿Quién me dará ayuda contra los pecadores? ¿y quién será mi apoyo contra los malhechores?
17 If Yahweh had not helped me [at that time], [I would have been executed], [and] my soul/spirit would have gone to the place where [dead people] say nothing.
Si el Señor no hubiera sido mi ayudante, mi alma habría descendido rápidamente a la muerte.
18 I said/thought [to myself], “I am about to die,” but Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.
Si digo: Mi pie se resbala; tu misericordia, oh Señor, es mi apoyo.
19 Whenever I am very worried, you comfort/encourage me and cause me to be happy.
Entre todos mis pensamientos turbados, tus consolaciones son el deleite de mi alma.
20 You have nothing to do with wicked judges, who establish laws that allow people to do what is not legal.
¿Qué parte tienes con el trono del pecado, que convierte el mal en ley?
21 They plan to get rid of righteous [people], and they declare that (innocent people/people who have not done what is wrong) must be executed.
Ellos están unidos entre sí contra el alma de los rectos, para tomar decisiones contra aquellos que no han hecho nada malo.
22 But Yahweh (has become [like] my fortress/protects me) [MET]; my God is [like a huge] rock under which I am protected/safe [MET].
Pero el Señor es mi lugar de descanso seguro; mi Dios es la Roca donde estoy a salvo.
23 He will punish those wicked leaders in return for the wicked things that they have done, and will get rid of them for the sins that they have committed; [yes], Yahweh our God will (wipe them out/destroy them completely).
Y él ha hecho que sus malos designios vuelvan sobre sí mismos, destruidos en su propio pecado; el Señor nuestro Dios los pondrá fin.
