Zsoltárok 68
1 A karmesternek. Dávidtól. Zsoltár. Ének. Keljen föl Isten, szélyedjenek el ellenei és futamodjanak meg gyűlölői előle.
God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
2 Mint elhajtatik füst, hajtsad el őket; mint elolvad viasz tűz elől, veszszenek el a gonoszok Isten elől!
Like [wind] blows smoke away, chase your enemies away. Like wax melts when it is near a fire, cause wicked people to (disappear/be destroyed).
3 De az igazak örüljenek, vigadjanak Isten előtt, örvendjenek örömmel!
But righteous people should be joyful; they should rejoice when they are in God’s presence; they should be happy, and be very joyful.
4 Énekeljetek Istennek, zengjétek nevét; töltsetek föl utat, a pusztaságokon hajtónak – Jáh a neve – és vigadjatok előtte!
Sing to God; sing to praise him; sing a song (OR, make a road) for him who rides on the clouds; his name is Yahweh; be glad when you are in his presence.
5 Árváknak atyja s özvegyeknek birája Isten, az ő szent hajlékában;
God, who lives in his sacred temple, is [like] [MET] a father to [those who are] orphans, and he is the one who protects widows.
6 Isten magánosokat letelepít a házban, foglyokat kivezet boldogulásra; ámde pártütők sivár földön laknak.
For those who have no one to live with, he provides families [to live with]. He frees prisoners and enables them to be successful, but those who rebel [against him] will be forced to live in a very hot and dry land.
7 Isten! mikor elindultál néped előtt, mihor lépdeltél a sivatagon – Széla –
God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
8 a föld megrendült, az egek is csepegtek Isten előtt, ez a Színáj Isten, Izraél Istene előtt.
After you did that, because when you, the God [worshiped by us] Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai [Mountain], the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.
9 Esőt bőviben permeteztetsz, Isten; birtokodat, a lankadtat, te szilárdítod meg.
You caused plenty of rain to fall [on your land], [and so] you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave [to us Israelis].
10 Csapatod letelepedett benne, elkészíted azt jóságodban a szegénynek, oh Isten.
Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
11 Az Úr szózatot ad, a hirhozók nagy seregben vannak:
The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
12 Seregek királyai bolyongnak, bolyongnak, s a háznak aszszonya osztja a zsákmányt.
[They proclaimed], “Many kings and their armies are running away [from our army]!” [When our army brought back to their homes] the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things [among themselves and among their families].
13 Avagy feküdnétek az aklok között? Galambnak szárnyai ezüsttel borítvák és szárnytollai zöldes aranynyal.
Even those women who were in the pens [taking care of] the sheep [received some of those things]; they got statues of doves whose wings were covered with silver and whose feathers were covered with pure yellow gold.
14 Mikor a Mindenható szétszórta benne a királyokat, hófehéres volt a Czalmónon.
When Almighty [God] scattered the [enemy] kings [and their armies], [the number of weapons that they abandoned there] seemed like there had been a snowstorm on Zalmon (OR, a black) [Mountain].
15 Isten hegye a Básán hegye, kúpozatos hegy a Básán hegye.
There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
16 Miért sandítotok, kúpozatos hegyek ti, a hegyre, melyet Isten megkívánt székhelyéül? Lakni is fogja az Örökkévaló mindétig.
But the [people who live near] that mountain should not [RHQ] envy those who live near [Zion], the mountain on which God chose to live! Yahweh will live there forever!
17 Isten szekere sok tízezernyi, ismételten ezernyi; az Úr van rajtuk – Színaj a szentélyben!
[After we defeated all our enemies], [it was as though] the Lord, surrounded by many thousands of strong chariots, descended from Sinai [Mountain] and came into the sacred temple [in Jerusalem].
18 Fölszálltál a magasba, ejtettél foglyot, vettél ajándékokat az emberek közűl; pártütők is lakni fognak Jáhnál, Istennél.
He ascended the sacred mountain [where his temple is], and took with him many people who had been captured [in battles]; and received gifts from the enemies [whom he had defeated]. He received gifts even from those who had rebelled against him, and Yahweh our God will live there [in his sacred temple] forever.
19 Áldva legyen az Úr, napról-napra, hord bennünket; az Isten a mi segítségünk. Széla.
Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
20 Az Isten nekünk megsegítésre való Isten, a az Örökkévalónál, az Úrnál vannak kiszabadítások a halálból.
Our God is the God who saves us; He is Yahweh, our Lord, the one who (allows us to escape/prevents us) from being killed [in battles].
21 Bizony, Isten ősszezúzza ellenségei fejét, hajas fejetetejét a bűneiben járónak.
But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
22 Szólt az Úr: Básánból hozom vissza, visszahozom a tenger mélységeiből:
The Lord said, “I will bring back the [corpses of those who were killed in] Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean [and drowned].
23 azért hogy vérbe mártsad lábadat, ebeid nyelvének az ellenségekben legyen része.
I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can [also] lap up some of your enemies’ blood.”
24 Látták járataidat, Isten, Istenemnek, királyomnak járatait a szentélyben.
God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, [celebrating that you have defeated your enemies]. You [march like] a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.
25 Elől mentek énekesek, azután hárfások, dobverő leányzók közepette.
The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.
26 Gyülekezetekben áldjátok Istent, az Urat, Izraél forrásából valók ti!
[They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
27 Ott van Benjámin, a legifjabbik, vezetőjük, Jehúda nagyjai, néptömegükkel, Zebúlún nagyjai, Naftáli nagyjai.
First come [the people of the tribe of] Benjamin, the smallest [tribe], and following them come the leaders of [the tribe of] Judah and their group, and following them come the leaders of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
28 Elrendelte Istened hatalmadat – hatalmas légy, oh Isten, a ki ezt művelted értünk,
God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
29 templomodból Jeruzsálem fölött! Neked visznek királyok ajándékot.
Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
30 Dorgáld meg a nádasnak vadját, bikák csordáját népek borjai közt, az ezüst rudakon tipródót, szétszórva a karczokat kedvelő népeket.
Rebuke [your enemies, such as those in Egypt who are like] wild hippopotamuses/animals that live in the reeds; and [powerful nations that are like] bulls that are among their calves [MET]; rebuke/trample them until they bow down and give you gifts of silver. Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
31 Eljönnek főurak Egyiptomból, Kús sietve terjeszti kezeit Istenhez.
Then people will bring gifts of bronze (OR, of cloth) to you from Egypt; the people in Ethiopia will lift up their hands [to praise you].
32 Királyságai a földnek, énekeljetek Istennek, zengjetek az Úrnak- Széla-,
[You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
33 annak a ki hajt az ősrégi egek egein; íme hallatja hangját, hatalmas hangot.
Sing to the God, the one who rides across the sky, the sky that [he created] long ago. Listen as he shouts with a very powerful voice.
34 adjatok hatalmat Istennek! Izraélen van fensége és hatalma a felhőkben.
Proclaim that God is very powerful; he is the king that rules over Israel, and in the skies [he also shows that] he is powerful.
35 Félelmetes az Isten a te szentélyeidből; Izraél Istene, ő ad hatalmat és erősödést a népnek. Áldva legyen Isten.
God is awesome as he comes out of his sacred temple; he is the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship]. He makes [DOU] his people very powerful. Praise God!
