Salmos 60
1 Ó Deus, tu nos rejeitaste, tu nos espalhaste, tu te indignaste; oh, volta-te para nós.
[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 Abalaste a terra, e a fendeste; sara as suas fendas, pois ella treme.
[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 Fizeste ver ao teu povo coisas arduas; fizeste-nos beber o vinho da perturbação.
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 Déste um estandarte aos que te temem, para arvorarem no alto, por causa da verdade (Selah)
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 Para que os teus amados sejam livres, salva-nos com a tua dextra, e ouve-nos;
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 Deus fallou na sua sanctidade: Eu me regozijarei, repartirei a Sichem e medirei o valle de Succoth.
[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 Meu é Galaad, e meu é Manasseh; Ephraim é a força da minha cabeça; Judah é o meu legislador.
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 Moab é o meu vaso de lavar; sobre Edom lançarei o meu sapato; alegra-te, ó Palestina, por minha causa.
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 Quem me conduzirá á cidade forte? Quem me guiará até Edom?
[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 Não serás tu, ó Deus, que nos tinhas rejeitado? tu, ó Deus, que não saiste com os nossos exercitos?
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 Dá-nos auxilio na angustia, porque vão é o soccorro do homem.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12 Em Deus faremos proezas; porque elle é que pisará os nossos inimigos.
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
