Psalmi 79
1 Oh Bog, pogani so prišli v tvojo dediščino, omadeževali so tvoj sveti tempelj, Jeruzalem so razbili na kupe.
A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 Trupla tvojih služabnikov so izročili, da so hrana perjadi neba, meso tvojih svetih za zemeljske živali.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
3 Njihovo kri so kakor vodo prelivali naokoli Jeruzalema, in nikogar ni bilo, da jih pokoplje.
They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4 Postali smo graja našim sosedom, norčevanje in posmeh tem, ki so okoli nas.
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
5 Doklej, Gospod? Hočeš biti jezen na veke? Ali bo tvoja ljubosumnost gorela kakor ogenj?
How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Svoj bes izlij nad pogane, ki te ne spoznavajo in nad kraljestva, ki ne kličejo tvojega imena.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
7 Kajti požrli so Jakoba in opustošili njegovo prebivališče.
for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
8 O ne spominjaj se zoper nas prejšnjih krivičnosti. Naj nas tvoja nežna usmiljenja naglo vodijo, kajti mi smo zelo ponižani.
Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
9 Pomagaj nam, oh Bog rešitve naše duše, zaradi slave svojega imena in osvobodi nas in naše grehe očisti proč zaradi svojega imena.
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
10 Zakaj bi pogani rekli: »Kje je njihov Bog?« Naj bo z maščevanjem krvi tvojih služabnikov, ki je prelita, on spoznan med pogani v našem pogledu.
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
11 Naj pride predte jetnikovo vzdihovanje; glede na veličino svoje moči ohrani tiste, ki so določeni, da umro
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
12 in povrni našim sosedom njihovo grajo sedemkratno v njihovo naročje, s katero so te grajali, oh Gospod.
Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
13 Tako ti bomo mi, tvoje ljudstvo in ovce tvojega pašnika, dajali zahvalo na veke. Tvojo hvalo bomo naznanjali vsem rodovom.
So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
