Psalmi 74
1 Asafa pamācība. Ak Dievs, kāpēc Tu mūs mūžīgi atstūmis, un Tava dusmība kūp pār Tavas ganības avīm?
O God, why have you cast us off for ever? why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Piemini Savu draudzi, ko Tu mantojis no veciem laikiem, un Sev par mantību atpestījis, Ciānas kalnu, uz kā Tu dzīvo.
Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old; the rod of your inheritance, which you have redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein you have dwelt.
3 Cel Savas kājas uz to mūžīgo postījumu; ienaidnieks visu ir samaitājis svētā vietā.
Lift up your feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Tavi pretinieki rūc Tavā namā, savas zīmes tie likuši par zīmēm.
your enemies roar in the midst of your congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5 Tie izrādās, tā kā biezā mežā cirtēji cirvjus cilā.
A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 Un nu tie viņas izgreznojumu visnotaļ sadauza ar cirvjiem un veseriem.
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 Tie Tavā svētā vietā met uguni, līdz zemei tie sagāna Tava vārda mājas vietu.
They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of your name to the ground.
8 Tie saka savā sirdī: izpostīsim tos(namus) pavisam; visus Dieva lūgšanas namus tai zemē tie ir sadedzinājuši.
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 Savas zīmes mēs neredzam: neviena pravieša vairs nav, nedz kāda cita pie mums, kas zinātu, cik ilgi tā būs.
We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long.
10 Cik ilgi, ak Dievs, pretinieks nievās, un ienaidnieks zaimos Tavu vārdu mūžam?
O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme your name for ever?
11 Kāpēc Tu atrauj Savu roku, ak, Savu labo roku? Izvelc to no Savas azotes un dari galu.
Why withdraw you your hand, even your right hand? pluck it out of your bosom.
12 Taču Dievs ir mans ķēniņš no iesākuma, kas pasniedz visu palīgu zemes virsū.
For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Tu caur Savu spēku jūru esi pāršķīris, Tu esi salauzījis pūķu galvas ūdenī.
You did divide the sea by your strength: you brake the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Tu esi satriecis levijatana galvas, Tu to esi devis par barību tai tautai tuksnesī.
You brake the heads of leviathan (sea serpent) in pieces, and gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Tu esi izšķēlis avotus un upes, Tu esi izkaltējis varenas upes.
You did cleave the fountain and the flood: you dried up mighty rivers.
16 Tiem pieder diena un nakts, Tu esi radījis gaismu un sauli.
The day is yours, the night also is yours: you have prepared the light and the sun.
17 Tu zemei esi licis visas robežas, vasaru un ziemu Tu esi darījis.
You have set all the borders of the earth: you have made summer and winter.
18 Piemini to, ka ienaidnieks To Kungu nievā, un ģeķu ļaudis zaimo Tavu vārdu.
Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed your name.
19 Nenodod zvēram Savas ūbeles dvēseli, Savu bēdīgo pulku neaizmirsti mūžam.
O deliver not the soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor for ever.
20 Piemini to derību, jo zemes alas ir palikušas par slepkavu bedrēm.
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 Lai nospiestais neaiziet ar kaunu, lai bēdīgie un nabagi slavē Tavu vārdu.
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Celies, Dievs, iztiesā Savas tiesas, piemini tās nievāšanas, kas Tev notiek no tiem ģeķiem ik dienas.
Arise, O God, plead your own cause: remember how the foolish man reproaches you daily.
23 Neaizmirsti Savu pretinieku kliegšanu; to troksni, kas vienmēr pret Tevi no Taviem ienaidniekiem.
Forget not the voice of your enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against you increases continually.
