Salmos 22
1 ¡ʼEL mío, ʼEL mío! ¿Por qué me desamparaste? ¿Por qué estás lejos de mi salvación y de las palabras de mi clamor?
My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
2 ʼElohim mío, clamo de día, y no respondes, Y de noche, y no hay descanso para mí.
My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
3 Pero Tú eres santo, ¡Tú, que moras entre las alabanzas de Israel!
But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
4 En Ti confiaron nuestros antepasados. Confiaron, y Tú los libraste.
Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
5 Clamaron a Ti, y fueron librados. Confiaron en Ti, y no fueron avergonzados.
When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
6 Pero yo soy gusano y no hombre, Oprobio de los hombres y despreciado por el pueblo.
But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
7 Todos los que me ven me escarnecen. Hacen una mueca con los labios. Menean la cabeza y dicen:
Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
8 Se encomendó a Yavé. Líbrelo Él. Que Él lo rescate, Puesto que se complacía en Él.
“He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
9 Pero Tú eres el que me sacó del vientre. Me diste confianza aun cuando estaba a los pechos de mi madre.
[Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
10 A Ti fui entregado desde la matriz, Desde el vientre de mi madre Tú eres mi ʼEL.
[It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
11 No te alejes de Mí, porque la angustia está cerca, Porque no hay quien ayude.
So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
12 Me rodearon muchos toros. Fuertes toros de Basán me rodearon.
[My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
13 Abren su boca contra mí Como león voraz y rugiente.
[They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
14 Soy derramado como aguas Y todos mis huesos se descoyuntan. Mi corazón se volvió como cera. Se derritió entre mis órganos.
I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
15 Mi vigor está seco como tiesto Y mi lengua se pega a mis mandíbulas. ¡Me pones en el polvo de la muerte!
My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
16 Perros me rodearon. Me cercó cuadrilla de perversos. Horadaron mis manos y mis pies.
My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
17 Puedo contar todos mis huesos. Ellos me miran y me observan.
[I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
18 Reparten entre sí mis ropas, Y sobre mi túnica echan suertes.
They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
19 Pero Tú, oh Yavé, ¡no te alejes! Fortaleza mía, ¡Apresúrate a socorrerme!
O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
20 ¡Libra de la espada el alma mía, Del poder del perro mi vida!
Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
21 ¡Sálvame de la boca del león Y de los cuernos de los toros salvajes! ¡Me has respondido!
Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
22 Anunciaré tu Nombre a mis hermanos. En medio de la congregación te alabaré.
[But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
23 Los que temen a Yavé, alábenlo. Glorifíquenlo, toda la descendencia de Jacob, Y témanle, toda la descendencia de Israel,
You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
24 Porque no menospreció ni aborreció el dolor del afligido, Ni de él ocultó su rostro, Sino cuando clamó a Él, Lo escuchó.
He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
25 De Ti viene mi alabanza en la gran congregación. Cumpliré mis votos delante de los que te temen.
Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
26 ¡Los pobres comerán y serán saciados! ¡Alabarán a Yavé los que lo buscan! ¡Que su corazón viva para siempre!
The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
27 Se acordarán y volverán a Yavé de todos los confines de la tierra, Y todas las familias de las naciones se postrarán delante de Ti.
I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
28 Porque de Yavé es el reino, Y Él gobierna las naciones.
Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
29 Comerán y se postrarán Todos los poderosos de la tierra, Los que bajan al polvo se postrarán ante Él, Los que no pueden conservar viva su alma.
I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
30 Una futura generación le servirá. Esto se dirá de ʼAdonay hasta la próxima generación.
People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
31 Acudirán y declararán su justicia, Anunciarán a pueblo que nacerá que Él hizo esto.
People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
