Psalms 79
1 A psalm of Asaph. God, foreign nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple; they have turned Jerusalem into a heap of ruins.
Asafa dziesma. Ak Dievs, pagāni Tavā tautā ir ielauzušies, tie ir sagānījuši Tavu svēto namu un Jeruzālemi darījuši par akmeņu kopām;
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the skies, the bodies of your faithful people to the beasts of the earth.
Tavu kalpu apkautas miesas tie ir devuši putniem apakš debess par barību, Tavu svēto miesas zemes zvēriem.
3 They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
Viņu asinis tie ir izlējuši ap Jeruzālemi kā ūdeni, un neviena nebija, kas apraka.
4 We have become a reproach for our neighbors, mocking and derision to those who are around us.
Mēs saviem kaimiņiem esam palikuši par apsmieklu, mūs apmēda un apsmej tie, kas ap mums.
5 How long, Yahweh? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your jealous anger burn like fire?
Cik ilgi, ak Kungs, vai tad Tu gribi mūžīgi dusmot? Vai tad Tavai bardzībai būs degt kā ugunij?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name.
Izgāz Savu dusmību pār tiem pagāniem, kas Tevi nepazīst, un pār tām valstīm, kas Tavu Vārdu nepiesauc.
7 For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his villages.
Jo tie Jēkabu ēduši un postījuši viņa dzīvokļus.
8 Do not hold the sins of our forefathers against us; may your merciful actions come to us, for we are very low.
Nepiemini mums mūsu tēvu noziegumus; steidzies, Tava sirds žēlastība lai mums nāk pretim, jo mēs esam ļoti panīkuši.
9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of your name; save us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.
Palīdzi mums, ak Dievs, mūsu Pestītājs, Sava godājamā vārda dēļ un izglāb mūs un piedod mūsu grēkus Sava vārda dēļ.
10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” May the blood of your servants that was shed be avenged on the nations before our eyes.
Kāpēc pagāniem būs sacīt: kur ir viņu Dievs? Lai pagāni priekš mūsu acīm atzīst, ka Tu atriebi Savu kalpu izlietās asinis.
11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you; with the greatness of your power keep the children of death alive.
Lai cietumnieku nopūšanās nāk Tavā priekšā: uzturi dzīvus nāves bērnus pēc Tava lielā elkoņa,
12 Pay back into the laps of our neighboring countries seven times as much as the insults with which they have insulted you, Lord.
Un atmaksā septiņkārt mūsu kaimiņiem viņu klēpī to nievāšanu, ar ko tie Tevi, Kungs, nievājuši.
13 So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks forever. We will tell your praises to all generations.
Tad mēs, Tavi ļaudis un Tavas ganības avis, Tevi teiksim mūžīgi, Tavu slavu sludināsim uz radu radiem.
