Psalmi 75
1 Asafa dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim, dziedama, pēc: „nesamaitā!“Mēs Tev pateicamies, Dievs, mēs pateicamies, ka Tavs vārds ir it tuvu; Tavi brīnumi top slavēti.
We give thanks to you; our God, we thank you. You are close to us, and we proclaim to others the wonderful things that you have done [for us].
2 „Kad Es īsto laiku pratīšu, tad Es it taisni tiesāšu.
[You have said], “I have appointed a time when I will judge people, and I will judge [everyone] fairly.
3 Zeme un visi viņas iedzīvotāji trīc, bet Es viņas pīlārus esmu stiprinājis.“(Sela.)
When the earth shakes and all the creatures on the earth tremble, I am the one who will (keep its foundations steady/prevent it from being destroyed).
4 Es sacīju uz tiem lielīgiem: nelielāties; un uz tiem bezdievīgiem: nelepojaties ar varu;
I say to people who (boast/talk proudly about themselves), ‘Stop bragging!’ and I say to wicked people, ‘Do not proudly [do things to] show how great you are [IDM]!
5 Nelielāties ar varu, un nerunājiet tik pārgalvīgi.
Do not be arrogant, and do not speak so boastfully!’”
6 Ka (nekāds palīgs nenāks) nedz no rīta puses, nedz no vakara puses, nedz no tuksneša kalniem.
The one who judges people does not come from the east or from the west, and he does not come from the desert.
7 Bet Dievs ir soģis, kas citu pazemo un citu paaugstina.
God is the one who judges people; he says that some have sinned and must be punished, and that others have not done what is wrong.
8 Jo Tam Kungam biķeris ir rokā, kur stiprs vīns papilnam iejaukts, un Viņš dod no tā dzert; bet visiem bezdievīgiem virs zemes būs dzert un izsūkt tās mieles.
[It is as though] Yahweh holds a cup in his hand; it is filled with wine that [has spices] mixed in it [to cause those who drink it to become more drunk]; and when Yahweh pours it out, he will force all the wicked people to drink it; they will drink every drop of it, [which means that he will give them all the punishment that they deserve].
9 Bet es to pasludināšu mūžīgi, es dziedāšu Jēkaba Dievam,
But [as for me], I will never stop saying what the God whom Jacob [worshiped has done]; I will never quit singing to praise him.
10 Un salauzīšu visiem bezdievīgiem galvas, ka taisniem galvas top paaugstinātas.
He will destroy the power [IDM] of wicked people, but he will cause righteous people to become more powerful.
