< Псалтирь 79 >
1 Боже, приидоша языцы в достояние Твое, оскверниша храм святый Твой,
A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
2 положиша Иерусалим яко овощное хранилище: положиша трупия раб Твоих брашно птицам небесным, плоти преподобных Твоих зверем земным:
They have given the dead bodies of your servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth.
3 пролияша кровь их яко воду окрест Иерусалима, и не бе погребаяй.
They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them].
4 Быхом поношение соседом нашым, подражнение и поругание сущым окрест нас.
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.
5 Доколе, Господи, прогневаешися до конца? Разжжется яко огнь рвение Твое?
How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Пролий гнев Твой на языки незнающыя Тебе, и на царствия, яже имене Твоего не призваша:
Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon your name.
7 яко поядоша Иакова, и место его опустошиша.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.
8 Не помяни наших беззаконий первых: скоро да предварят ны щедроты Твоя, Господи, яко обнищахом зело.
Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
9 Помози нам, Боже, Спасителю наш, славы ради имене Твоего: Господи, избави ны и очести грехи нашя имене ради Твоего.
Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake.
10 Да не когда рекут языцы: где есть Бог их? И да увестся во языцех пред очима нашима отмщение крове раб Твоих пролитыя.
Lets haply they should say amongst the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of your servant's blood that has been shed be known amongst the heathen before our eyes.
11 Да внидет пред Тя воздыхание окованных: по величию мышцы Твоея снабди сыны умерщвленных.
Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
12 Воздаждь соседом нашым седмерицею в недро их поношение их, имже поносиша Тя, Господи.
Repay to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
13 Мы же людие Твои и овцы пажити Твоея исповемыся Тебе, Боже, во век, в род и род возвестим хвалу Твою.
For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture; we will give you thanks for ever; we will declare your praise throughout all generations.
