Psalms 79
1 Of Asaph. God, hethene men cam in to thin eritage; thei defouliden thin hooli temple, thei settiden Jerusalem in to the keping of applis.
阿撒夫的詩歌。
2 Thei settiden the slayn bodies of thi seruauntis, meetis to the volatilis of heuenes; the fleischis of thi seyntis to the beestis of the erthe.
天主，異民侵入了您的遺產，褻瀆了您的聖殿，使耶路撒冷覆顛；
3 Thei schedden out the blood of hem, as watir in the cumpas of Jerusalem; and noon was that biriede.
並將您眾僕人的屍首，給天空的飛鳥做食物，用您聖徒的肉餵野獸。
4 We ben maad schenschipe to oure neiyboris; mowynge and scornynge to hem, that ben in oure cumpas.
在耶路撒冷四周血如水流，但出來埋葬的人一個也無。
5 Lord, hou longe schalt thou be wrooth in to the ende? schal thi veniaunce be kyndelid as fier?
我們竟成為我們鄰居的恥辱，作了我們四周的譏諷與玩物。
6 Schede out thin ire in to hethene men, that knowen not thee; and in to rewmes, that clepiden not thi name.
上主，您經常發怒，要到何時，您怒燄如火，要到何時？
7 For thei eeten Jacob; and maden desolat his place.
求您向那不承認您的異民，及不呼號您名的列國洩憤，
8 Haue thou not mynde on oure elde wickidnesses; thi mercies bifore take vs soone, for we ben maad pore greetli.
因為他們吞併了雅各伯家族，並蹂躪了他的住處。
9 God, oure heelthe, helpe thou vs, and, Lord, for the glorie of thi name delyuer thou vs; and be thou merciful to oure synnes for thi name.
求您別向我們追討祖先惡行，以您仁慈速來協助我們，因為我們實在是可憐萬分。天主，我們的救主，為您名的光榮，協助我們，為了您的聖名，寬赦我們的罪過，拯救我們！
10 Lest perauenture thei seie among hethene men, Where is the God of hem? and be he knowun among naciouns bifore oure iyen. The veniaunce of the blood of thi seruauntis, which is sched out; the weilyng of feterid men entre in thi siyt.
為何讓異民說：他們的天主在哪裡？願我們在異民中能親眼看到您僕人流出的血，要得的酬報！
11 Vpe the greetnesse of thin arm; welde thou the sones of slayn men.
願囚徒的哀歎上達您面前，按您手臂的能力解放死犯!
12 And yelde thou to oure neiyboris seuenfoold in the bosum of hem; the schenschip of hem, which thei diden schenschipfuli to thee, thou Lord.
天主，求您將我們四鄰加給您的凌辱，向他們的胸懷裏投以七倍報復!
13 But we that ben thi puple, and the scheep of thi leesewe; schulen knouleche to thee in to the world. In generacioun and in to generacioun; we schulen telle thin heriyng.
這樣做您子民做您牧場羊群的我們，能永遠稱謝您，能萬世宣揚您的光榮。
