Psalmi 60
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim, iemācīt pēc: „lilija ir liecība“; Kad viņš kāvās ar Sīriešiem no Mezopotamijas un ar Sīriešiem no Cobas, un Joabs nāca atpakaļ un sakāva no Edomiešiem divpadsmit tūkstošus sāls ielejā. Dievs, Tu mūs esi atmetis, izkaisījis, Tu esi bijis dusmīgs, griezies atkal pie mums.
[I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
2 Tu zemi esi kustinājis un šķēlis, dziedini viņas plīsumus, jo viņa šaubās.
[When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
3 Tu Saviem ļaudīm grūtumu esi licis redzēt, ar reibuma vīnu Tu mūs esi dzirdinājis.
You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
4 Tiem, kas Tevi bīstas, Tu esi devis karogu, celties patiesības labad. (Sela)
But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
5 Lai Tavi mīļie taptu atsvabināti, tad palīdzi nu ar Savu labo roku un paklausi mūs!
Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
6 Dievs runā Savā svētā vietā, par to es priecājos; es dalīšu Šehemi un mērošu Sukota ieleju.
[Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
7 Gileāds Man pieder, un Manasus Man pieder, un Efraīms ir Manas galvas stiprums, Jūda ir Mans valdības zizlis.
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
8 Moabs ir Mans mazgājamais trauks; Savu kāju Es stiepju pār Edomu; tu, Fīlistu zeme, kliedzi par Mani!
but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
9 Kas mani vadīs tai stiprā pilsētā? Kas mani pavadīs līdz Edomam?
[Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
10 Vai ne tu, Dievs, kas mūs biji atmetis un neizgāji, ak Dievs, ar mūsu karaspēku?
So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
11 Dod mums palīgu bēdu laikā, jo cilvēku pestīšana nav nekas.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12 Ar Dievu darīsim stiprus darbus. Viņš samīdīs mūsu pretiniekus.
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
