Zsoltárok 144
1 Dávidé. Áldott az Úr, az én kőváram, a ki hadakozásra tanítja kezemet, s viadalra az én ujjaimat.
I praise Yahweh, who is [like an overhanging] rock [under which I] ([get refuge/am protected])! He trains my hands so that I can use them to fight battles; he trains my fingers so that I can [shoot arrows in a war].
2 Jóltevőm és megoltalmazóm, mentőváram és szabadítóm nékem; paizsom, és az, a kiben én bízom: ő veti alám népemet.
He is the one who protects me; he is [like] a fortress [DOU] in which I am safe, he protects me [like] [protect soldiers] [MET], and he gives me refuge. He defeats [other] nations and [then] puts them under my power.
3 Uram! Micsoda az ember, hogy tudsz felőle, és az embernek fia, hogy gondod van reá?
Yahweh, [we] people are [very insignificant/unimportant], so why (are you concerned/do you care about us) [RHQ]? [It is amazing to me that] you pay attention to humans.
4 Olyan az ember, mint a lehellet; napjai, mint az átfutó árnyék.
[The time that we live is as short] as [SIM] a puff of wind; our time to live disappears like a shadow does.
5 Uram, hajlítsd meg egeidet és szállja alá; illesd meg a hegyeket, hogy füstölögjenek!
Yahweh, (tear open/open up) the sky and come down! Touch the mountains in order that smoke will pour out from them!
6 Lövelj villámot és hányd szerte őket; bocsásd ki nyilaidat és vedd el eszöket.
Cause lightning to flash with the result that [your enemies] will run away! Shoot your arrows [at them] and cause them to (run away/scatter).
7 Nyújtsd le kezeidet a magasból; ragadj ki és ments meg engem a nagy vizekből, az idegen-fiak kezéből;
[It is as though my enemies surround me like] a flood; reach your hand down from heaven and rescue me from them [SYN]. They are men from other countries
8 A kiknek szájok hazugságot beszél, s jobb kezök a hamisság jobb keze.
who [SYN] [always] tell lies. [Even in a courtroom where they swear to tell the truth] they tell lies.
9 Isten! Új éneket éneklek néked; tízhúrú hangszerrel zengedezlek téged;
God, I will sing a new song to you, and I will play my ten-stringed harp [while I sing] to you.
10 Ki segítséget ád a királyoknak, s megmenti Dávidot, az ő szolgáját a gonosz szablyától.
You enable kings to defeat [their enemies]; and you rescued me, your servant David, from [being killed by] my enemies’ swords.
11 Ragadj ki és ments meg engem az idegen-fiak kezéből, a kiknek szájok hazugságot beszél, s jobbkezök a hamisság jobbkeze.
[So I ask you to] save me from [being killed by] the swords [that those] evil [people carry]. Rescue me from the power [MTY] of those foreigners who [SYN] [always] tell lies, and [who raise] their right hands [in courtrooms when they solemnly declare that they will tell the truth].
12 Hogy fiaink olyanok legyenek, mint a plánták, nagyokká nőve ifjú korukban; leányaink, mint a templom mintájára kifaragott oszlopok.
I wish/hope that our young sons will grow up to be like strong plants [SIM], and I wish/hope that our daughters will [grow up to] be [straight and tall] like the pillars [SIM] that stand in the corners of palaces.
13 Legyenek telve tárházaink, eledelt eledelre szolgáltassanak; juhaink százszorosodjanak, ezerszeresedjenek a mi legelőinken.
I wish/hope that our barns will be full of many different crops. I wish/hope that the sheep in our fields will give birth to tens of thousands of baby lambs.
14 Ökreink megrakodva legyenek; sem betörés, sem kirohanás, sem kiáltozás ne legyen a mi utczáinkon.
I wish/hope that our cows will give birth to many calves without having any miscarriages or deaths when they are born (OR, that no enemies will break through our city walls and take us (into exile/to their own countries)). I wish/hope that [there will not be a time when the people in] our streets cry out in distress [because foreign armies are invading].
15 Boldog nép az, a melynek így van dolga; boldog nép az, a melynek az Úr az ő Istene.
If good things like that happen to a nation, the people will be very happy. The people whose God is Yahweh are the ones who will be happy!
