Psalmi 68
1 Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim dziedama. Lai Dievs ceļas, ka Viņa ienaidnieki top izklīdināti, un Viņa nīdētāji bēg Viņa priekšā.
God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
2 Izdzen tos, tā kā dūmi top izdzīti; tā kā vasks ugunī top kausēts, tāpat bezdievīgie ies bojā Dieva priekšā.
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 Bet taisnie priecāsies un līksmosies Dieva priekšā, un no sirds dibina(dziļuma) priecāsies.
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 Dziediet Dievam, dziediet Viņa vārdam, sataisiet ceļu Tam, kas brauc pa tuksnešiem. Viņa vārds ir Kungs, - un līksmojaties Viņa priekšā.
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 Viņš ir bāriņu tēvs un atraitņu tiesnesis, Viņš ir Dievs Savā svētā dzīvoklī,
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 Tāds Dievs, kas vientuļiem dod namā dzīvot, kas cietumniekus izved pie labklāšanās; bet atkāpējiem jādzīvo tukšumā.
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 Dievs, kad Tu gāji Savu ļaužu priekšā, kad Tu staigāji tuksnesī, (Sela)
God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
8 Tad zeme drebēja un debesis pilēja Dieva priekšā, un tas Sinaī, Tā Dieva priekšā, kas ir Israēla Dievs.
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 Tu, Dievs, devi nolīt bagātam lietum; Savu iemantojamo tiesu, kas bija noguruši, Tu spirdzināji,
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 Ka Tava draudzīte tur var dzīvot; Tu, Dievs, atspirdzini bēdīgos ar Savu labumu.
Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
11 Tas Kungs dod vēsti ar lielu pulku priecas sludinātāju.
The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
12 Karaspēku ķēniņi bēga, tie bēga, un nama dzīvotāja izdalīja laupījumu.
[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 Kad lēģerī esat apmetušies, tad jūs spīdiet kā baložu spārni ar sudrabu apklāti, un kam ir spalvas kā zaļgans zelts.
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 Kad tas Visuvarenais tur ķēniņus izkaisa, tad ir balts kā sniegs uz Zalmona.
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 Dieva kalns ir Basanas kalns, kalns ar daudz virsotnēm ir Basanas kalns.
There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
16 Kāpēc jūs apskaužat, jūs augstie kalni to kalnu, kur Dievam patīk mājot? Tiešām, Tas Kungs tur dzīvos mūžam.
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 Dieva ratu ir daudz tūkstošu tūkstoši, Tas Kungs ir viņu vidū, tā kā uz Sinaī Savā svētumā.
[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 Tu esi uzkāpis augstībā, cietumu Tu esi vedis cietumā, par dāvanām Tu esi dabūjis cilvēkus, arī atkāpējus, ka tie dzīvo, ak Kungs Dievs.
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 Slavēts lai ir Tas Kungs, ikdienas Viņš nes mūsu nastu; Dievs ir mūsu pestīšana. (Sela)
Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
20 Dievs mums ir Dievs, kas pilnīgi izpestī, un pie Tā Kunga Dieva ir izvešana no nāves.
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 Tiešām, Dievs sadauzīs pieri Saviem ienaidniekiem, un matu pilno galvu tiem, kas staigā savos noziegumos.
But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
22 Tas Kungs saka, Es atvedīšu, Es atvedīšu atkal no Basanas, Es atvedīšu atkal no jūras dziļumiem.
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 Tādēļ tu mērksi savu kāju ienaidnieku asinīs, un tavi suņi tās laizīs.
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 Tavi gājumi, ak Dievs, top redzēti, mana stiprā Dieva, mana ķēniņa, gājumi svētā vietā.
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 Dziedātāji iet papriekš, spēlētāji pakaļ bungotāju meitu starpā.
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 Teiciet Dievu, To Kungu, draudzes sapulcē, jūs, kas no Israēla avota.
[They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
27 Tur pār tiem valda mazais Benjamins, Jūda lielkungi ar saviem pulkiem, Zebulona lielkungi, Naftalus lielkungi.
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 Tavs Dievs ir pavēlējis tavai valstij būt stiprai; stiprini, ak Dievs, ko Tu mums par labu esi darījis.
God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
29 Tava nama dēļ Jeruzālemē ķēniņi Tev atnesīs dāvanas.
Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
30 Rāj to zvēru niedrēs, to vēršu pulku ar tautu teļiem, lai tie zemē metās ar sudraba gabaliem. Viņš izklīdina tautas, kam tīk karot.
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 Lieli kungi nāks no Ēģiptes, Moru zeme steigsies, izstiept savas rokas uz Dievu.
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 Jūs pasaules valstis, dziediet Dievam, dziediet Tam Kungam, (Sela)
[You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
33 Tam, kas brauc pa debesu debesīm, kas no iesākuma. Redzi, Viņš dos Savam pērkonam spēcīgu skaņu.
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 Dodiet Dievam godu! Viņa augstība ir pār Israēli, un Viņa spēks pār augstiem padebešiem.
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 Dievs, Tu esi bijājams no Savas svētās vietas, Tu stiprais Israēla Dievs. Viņš dod tiem ļaudīm stiprumu un spēku, - slavēts lai ir Dievs!
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!
