مزامیر 60
| برای رهبر سرایندگان. در مایۀ «سوسن شهادت». غزل داوود دربارۀ زمانی که با اَرام نَهَرَین و اَرام صوبه جنگید و یوآب بازگشته دوازده هزار نفر از اَدومیان را در درۀ نَمک کُشت. ای خدا، تو ما را طرد کرده‌ای، ما را پراکنده ساخته و بر ما خشمگین بوده‌ای؛ اما اینک به سوی ما بازگرد. | 1 |
[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!
| زمین را لرزان ساخته و آن را شکافته‌ای؛ شکافهایش را به هم آور، زیرا نزدیک است متلاشی شود. | 2 |
[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).
| به قوم برگزیده‌ات سختیهای فراوان داده‌ای؛ ما را همچون افراد مست گیج و سرگردان نموده‌ای. | 3 |
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].
| اما برای کسانی که تو را گرامی می‌دارند پرچمی افراشته‌ای تا آنان را در مقابل تیرهای دشمن در امان داری. | 4 |
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.
| ای خدایی که ما را دوست داری، با قدرت خویش ما را نجات ده و دعای ما را اجابت فرما. | 5 |
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.”
| خدا در قدوسیت خویش سخن گفته و فرموده است: «با شادی شهر شکیم را قسمت می‌کنم و دشت سوکوت را اندازه می‌گیرم. | 6 |
[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.
| جِلعاد از آن من است و منسی نیز از آن من؛ افرایم کلاهخود من است و یهودا عصای سلطنت من. | 7 |
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];
| اما قوم موآب را مانند لگن برای شستشو به کار خواهم برد، بر قوم ادوم کفشم را خواهم انداخت و بر فلسطین فریاد پیروزی برخواهم آورد.» | 8 |
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].”
| کیست که مرا برای گرفتن شهرهای حصاردار ادوم رهبری کند؟ | 9 |
[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]
| خدایا، تو ما را رهبری کن، تو که اینک از ما روگردان شده‌ای و دیگر با سپاهیان ما نیستی! | 10 |
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].
| تو ما را در جنگ با دشمن کمک کن، زیرا کمک انسان بی‌فایده است. | 11 |
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
| با کمک تو ای خدا، پیروز خواهیم شد، زیرا تو دشمنان ما را شکست خواهی داد! | 12 |
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
