Psalmi 44
1 Koraha bērnu pamācība. Dziedātāju vadonim. Dievs, ar savām ausīm mēs to esam dzirdējuši, mūsu tēvi to mums ir teikuši: vienu darbu Tu esi darījis viņu laikā sendienās.
God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
2 Ar savu roku pagānus Tu esi izdzinis, bet viņus Tu esi dēstījis; tautas Tu esi mocījis, bet viņus Tu esi izplatījis.
[They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
3 Jo tie to zemi caur savu zobenu nav iemantojuši, un viņu elkonis tiem nav palīdzējis, bet Tava labā roka un Tavs elkonis un Tava vaiga gaišums, jo Tev bija labs prāts pie tiem.
It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
4 Tu tas esi, ak Dievs, mans ķēniņš; sūti Jēkabam pestīšanu.
You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
5 Ar Tevi mēs gribam sadauzīt savus ienaidniekus, Tavā vārdā gribam samīt, kas mums ceļas pretim.
It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
6 Jo es neceru uz savu stopu, un mans zobens man nevar palīdzēt.
I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
7 Bet Tu mūs izglābi no mūsu pretiniekiem, un Tu mūsu ienaidniekus lieci kaunā.
No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
8 Ar Dievu mēs lielāmies cauru dienu un pateicamies Tavam vārdam mūžīgi. (Sela)
We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
9 Bet nu Tu mūs atstūmi un lieci mūs kaunā un neizej ar mūsu karaspēku.
But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
10 Tu mūs dzeni atpakaļ priekš mūsu pretiniekiem, ka mūsu ienaidnieki mūs aplaupa.
You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
11 Tu mūs nodevi kā avis par barību, un mūs izkaisi starp pagāniem.
You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
12 Tu pārdevi Savus ļaudis pa velti, un nespriedi priekš viņiem nekādas maksas.
[It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
13 Tu mūs cēli par apsmieklu mūsu kaimiņiem, par nievāšanu un apmēdīšanu tiem, kas ir ap mums.
People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
14 Tu mūs dari par sakāmu vārdu starp pagāniem, ka tautas par mums galvu krata.
They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
15 Cauru dienu mans negods man ir klāt, un kauns apklāj manu vaigu
All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
16 Mēdītāju un zaimotāju valodas pēc, ienaidnieku un atriebēju dēļ.
I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
17 Viss tas mums uzgājis, taču mēs Tevi neesam aizmirsuši, nedz viltīgi darījuši pret Tavu derību.
All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
18 Mūsu sirds nav atpakaļ griezusies, nedz mūsu soļi noklīduši no Taviem ceļiem,
We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
19 Ka Tu mūs tā satriec zvēru vidū, un mūs apklāj ar nāves ēnu.
But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
20 Ja mēs būtu aizmirsuši sava Dieva vārdu, un pacēluši savas rokas uz kādu svešu dievu,
If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
21 Vai Dievs to nevarētu samanīt? Jo Viņš zina sirds noslēpumus.
you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
22 Bet Tevis pēc mēs topam nāvēti visaugošu dienu, un topam turēti līdzi kaujamām avīm.
But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Uzmosties, Kungs, kāpēc Tu guli? Mosties, neatstum mūžīgi.
[So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!
24 Kāpēc Tu apslēpi Savu vaigu un aizmirsti mūsu bēdas un mokas?
Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?
25 Jo mūsu dvēsele ir nospiesta pīšļos, mūsu vēders līp pie zemes.
We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.
26 Celies mums par palīgu, un izglāb mūs Savas žēlastības dēļ.
Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
