< תהילים 83 >
שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָֽף׃ אֱלֹהִים אַל־דֳּמִי־לָךְ אַל־תֶּחֱרַשׁ וְאַל־תִּשְׁקֹט אֵֽל׃ | 1 |
God, do not continue to be silent! Do not be quiet and say nothing,
כִּֽי־הִנֵּה אוֹיְבֶיךָ יֶהֱמָיוּן וּמְשַׂנְאֶיךָ נָשְׂאוּ רֹֽאשׁ׃ | 2 |
because your enemies are rioting against you; those who hate you are rebelling against you!
עַֽל־עַמְּךָ יַעֲרִימוּ סוֹד וְיִתְיָעֲצוּ עַל־צְפוּנֶֽיךָ׃ | 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.
אָמְרוּ לְכוּ וְנַכְחִידֵם מִגּוֹי וְלֹֽא־יִזָּכֵר שֵֽׁם־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֽוֹד׃ | 4 |
They say, “Come, we must destroy their nation, with the result that no one will remember that Israel ever existed!”
כִּי נוֹעֲצוּ לֵב יַחְדָּו עָלֶיךָ בְּרִית יִכְרֹֽתוּ׃ | 5 |
They have agreed on [what they want to do to destroy Israel], and they have formed an alliance against you.
אׇהֳלֵי אֱדוֹם וְיִשְׁמְעֵאלִים מוֹאָב וְהַגְרִֽים׃ | 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],
גְּבָל וְעַמּוֹן וַעֲמָלֵק פְּלֶשֶׁת עִם־יֹשְׁבֵי צֽוֹר׃ | 7 |
Gebal [people-group], the Ammon [people-group], the Amalek [people-group], the Philistia [people-group], and the people of Tyre [city].
גַּם־אַשּׁוּר נִלְוָה עִמָּם הָיֽוּ זְרוֹעַ לִבְנֵי־לוֹט סֶֽלָה׃ | 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.
עֲשֵֽׂה־לָהֶם כְּמִדְיָן כְּֽסִיסְרָא כְיָבִין בְּנַחַל קִישֽׁוֹן׃ | 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.
נִשְׁמְדוּ בְֽעֵין־דֹּאר הָיוּ דֹמֶן לָאֲדָמָֽה׃ | 10 |
You destroyed them at Endor [town], and their corpses [lay on] the ground and decayed.
שִׁיתֵמוֹ נְדִיבֵימוֹ כְּעֹרֵב וְכִזְאֵב וּֽכְזֶבַח וּכְצַלְמֻנָּע כׇּל־נְסִיכֵֽימוֹ׃ | 11 |
Do to them things like you did to [Kings] Oreb and Zeeb; defeat their leaders like you defeated Zebah and Zalmunna,
אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ נִירְשָׁה לָּנוּ אֵת נְאוֹת אֱלֹהִֽים׃ | 12 |
who said, “We will take for ourselves the land that [the Israelis say] belongs to God!”
אֱֽלֹהַי שִׁיתֵמוֹ כַגַּלְגַּל כְּקַשׁ לִפְנֵי־רֽוּחַ׃ | 13 |
My God, cause them [to disappear quickly] like whirling dust, like chaff that the wind blows away!
כְּאֵשׁ תִּבְעַר־יָעַר וּכְלֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט הָרִֽים׃ | 14 |
Like a fire completely burns a forest and like flames burn in the mountains,
כֵּן תִּרְדְּפֵם בְּסַעֲרֶךָ וּבְסוּפָתְךָ תְבַהֲלֵֽם׃ | 15 |
expel them by sending storms; cause them to be terrified by your big storms/hurricanes!
מַלֵּא פְנֵיהֶם קָלוֹן וִיבַקְשׁוּ שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 16 |
Cause them [SYN] to be very ashamed in order that they will admit that you are very powerful.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִבָּהֲלוּ עֲדֵי־עַד וְֽיַחְפְּרוּ וְיֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ | 17 |
Cause them to be forever disgraced [because of being defeated], and cause them to die while they are still disgraced.
וְֽיֵדְעוּ כִּֽי־אַתָּה שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָה לְבַדֶּךָ עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ | 18 |
Cause them to know that you, whose name is Yahweh, are the supreme ruler over everything on the earth.
