Salmos 80
1 Para el director del coro. Un salmo de Asaf. Con la melodía de “Los lirios de la alianza”. Por favor escúchanos, pastor de Israel, tú, que guías a los descendientes de José como a un rebaño. Tú, que te sientas en tu trono sobre los querubines, brilla
[Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
2 en la presencia de Efraín, Benjamín, y Manasés. ¡Reúne todo tu poder y ven a salvarnos!
Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
3 Por favor, Dios, ¡Restáuranos! Permite que tu rostro resplandezca sobre nosotros para que podamos ser salvos.
God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
4 ¡Oh, Señor, Todopoderoso! ¿Por cuánto tiempo más estarás airado con las oraciones de tu pueblo?
Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
5 Los alimentaste con el pan de las lágrimas, y les diste un tazón lleno de estas para que bebieran.
[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6 Nos conviertes en víctimas por las que nuestros vecinos peleen; de las que nuestros enemigos se burlen.
You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
7 Dios todopoderoso, ¡Restáuranos! ¡Permite que tu rostro se resplandezca sobre nosotros para que podamos ser salvos!
God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
8 Nos sacaste de Egipto como una vid, expulsaste a las naciones paganas y sembraste la vid en su lugar.
[Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
9 Preparaste el suelo. Echo raíz y llenó la tierra
[Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
10 Las montañas fueron cubiertas por su sombra; sus ramas cubrieron los grandes cedros.
[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
11 Envió sus ramas hacia el oeste, hasta el mar Mediterráneo y sus brotes hacia el este, hasta el río Éufrates.
[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
12 ¿Por qué has roto los muros que lo protegían para que cualquiera que pase pueda robar su fruto?
So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
13 Los cerdos salvajes del bosque se los comen, animales salvajes se alimentan de él.
and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
14 Dios todo poderoso, por favor, ¡Vuelve a nosotros! ¡Observa hacia abajo desde los cielos y mira lo que nos está pasando a nosotros! Ven y cuida de esta vid
You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
15 que tú mismo plantaste, este hijo que tú criaste por tus propios méritos.
who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
16 Nosotros, tu vid, hemos sido talados y quemados. Ojalá todos los que hicieron esto mueran cuando los mires.
Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
17 Protege al hombre que permanece a tu lado; fortalece al hijo que has escogido.
But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
18 Entonces no nos apartaremos de ti. Devuélvenos la vida para que podamos invocar tu nombre.
When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
19 ¡Oh, Señor! Dios todopoderoso, ¡Restáuranos! ¡Permite que tu rostro resplandezca sobre nosotros para que podamos ser salvos!
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
