Salmos 68
1 Levántese ʼElohim, sean esparcidos sus enemigos. Huyan de tu Presencia los que lo aborrecen.
God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
2 Desvanécelos como se desvanece el humo. Como se derrite la cera ante el fuego, Perezcan así los perversos en la Presencia de ʼElohim.
Like [wind] blows smoke away, chase your enemies away. Like wax melts when it is near a fire, cause wicked people to (disappear/be destroyed).
3 Pero que se alegren los justos, Y sean regocijados ante ʼElohim. Que se regocijen con alegría.
But righteous people should be joyful; they should rejoice when they are in God’s presence; they should be happy, and be very joyful.
4 Canten a ʼElohim. Canten salmos a su Nombre. Exalten al que cabalga sobre los cielos. YA es su Nombre. Regocíjense ante Él.
Sing to God; sing to praise him; sing a song (OR, make a road) for him who rides on the clouds; his name is Yahweh; be glad when you are in his presence.
5 Padre de huérfanos y Juez de viudas es ʼElohim en su Santuario,
God, who lives in his sacred temple, is [like] [MET] a father to [those who are] orphans, and he is the one who protects widows.
6 El ʼElohim que hace un hogar a los desamparados, Quien saca los cautivos a prosperidad. Pero los rebeldes viven en tierra seca.
For those who have no one to live with, he provides families [to live with]. He frees prisoners and enables them to be successful, but those who rebel [against him] will be forced to live in a very hot and dry land.
7 Oh ʼElohim, cuando saliste delante de tu pueblo, Cuando anduviste por el desierto, (Selah)
God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
8 La tierra tembló. Los cielos también destilaron ante ʼElohim. La misma [Montaña] Sinaí tembló ante la Presencia de ʼElohim, El ʼElohim de Israel.
After you did that, because when you, the God [worshiped by us] Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai [Mountain], the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.
9 Una lluvia abundante derramaste, oh ʼElohim. Tú reanimaste tu heredad Cuando estaba exhausta.
You caused plenty of rain to fall [on your land], [and so] you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave [to us Israelis].
10 Tus criaturas se establecieron en ella, La que en tu bondad, oh ʼElohim, proveíste para el pobre.
Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
11 ʼAdonay da la orden, Y una gran hueste de mujeres anuncia las buenas noticias.
The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
12 Huyeron, huyeron los reyes de ejércitos, Y las que se quedaban en casa repartían los despojos.
[They proclaimed], “Many kings and their armies are running away [from our army]!” [When our army brought back to their homes] the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things [among themselves and among their families].
13 Aunque fueron echados entre los tiestos, Serán como alas de paloma cubiertas de plata Y sus plumas, con brillo de oro.
Even those women who were in the pens [taking care of] the sheep [received some of those things]; they got statues of doves whose wings were covered with silver and whose feathers were covered with pure yellow gold.
14 Cuando el Omnipotente esparció allí a los reyes Fue como cuando nieva en Salmón.
When Almighty [God] scattered the [enemy] kings [and their armies], [the number of weapons that they abandoned there] seemed like there had been a snowstorm on Zalmon (OR, a black) [Mountain].
15 Montaña de ʼElohim es la montaña de Basán. Una montaña alta es la de Basán.
There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
16 ¿Por qué, oh montañas de picos, Miran con envidia a la Montaña que ʼElohim deseó para su morada? Ciertamente Yavé morará en ella para siempre.
But the [people who live near] that mountain should not [RHQ] envy those who live near [Zion], the mountain on which God chose to live! Yahweh will live there forever!
17 Las carrozas de ʼElohim son miríadas de miríadas, y millares de millares. Desde Sinaí, ʼAdonay avanza entre ellas al Santuario.
[After we defeated all our enemies], [it was as though] the Lord, surrounded by many thousands of strong chariots, descended from Sinai [Mountain] and came into the sacred temple [in Jerusalem].
18 Ascendiste a lo alto, Llevaste cautivos a [tus] cautivos. Recibiste dones entre los hombres, Aun de los rebeldes, Para que YA ʼElohim more allí.
He ascended the sacred mountain [where his temple is], and took with him many people who had been captured [in battles]; and received gifts from the enemies [whom he had defeated]. He received gifts even from those who had rebelled against him, and Yahweh our God will live there [in his sacred temple] forever.
19 Bendito sea ʼAdonay, Quien diariamente lleva nuestra carga, El ʼEL de nuestra salvación. (Selah)
Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
20 Nuestro ʼEL es el ʼEL de salvación. A Yavé nuestro ʼAdonay corresponde el librar de la muerte.
Our God is the God who saves us; He is Yahweh, our Lord, the one who (allows us to escape/prevents us) from being killed [in battles].
21 Ciertamente ʼElohim herirá la cabeza de sus enemigos, La coronilla cabelluda del que anda en sus transgresiones.
But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
22 ʼAdonay dijo: De Basán los devolveré. Los devolveré de las profundidades del mar,
The Lord said, “I will bring back the [corpses of those who were killed in] Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean [and drowned].
23 Para que tu pie los aplaste en sangre, Y la lengua de tus perros tenga su porción de tus enemigos.
I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can [also] lap up some of your enemies’ blood.”
24 Vieron tu cortejo, oh ʼElohim, El cortejo de mi ʼEL, mi Rey en el Santuario.
God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, [celebrating that you have defeated your enemies]. You [march like] a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.
25 Los cantores van adelante, Los músicos detrás. Entre unos y otros van las doncellas que tocan panderetas.
The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.
26 Bendigan a ʼElohim en las congregaciones, Al ʼAdonay de la fuente de Israel.
[They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
27 Allí está Benjamín, el menor, quien los dirige, Los jefes de Judá con su multitud, Los jefes de Zabulón, Los jefes de Neftalí.
First come [the people of the tribe of] Benjamin, the smallest [tribe], and following them come the leaders of [the tribe of] Judah and their group, and following them come the leaders of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
28 Tu ʼElohim comandó tu fuerza. Oh ʼElohim, Tú actuaste por nosotros. Muéstrate fuerte.
God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
29 Por causa de tu Templo en Jerusalén los reyes te traerán regalos.
Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
30 Reprende las bestias salvajes que están entre los juncos, La manada de toros con los becerros de los pueblos, Que pisotean las piezas de plata. Esparce a los pueblos que se complacen en la guerra.
Rebuke [your enemies, such as those in Egypt who are like] wild hippopotamuses/animals that live in the reeds; and [powerful nations that are like] bulls that are among their calves [MET]; rebuke/trample them until they bow down and give you gifts of silver. Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
31 Embajadores vendrán de Egipto. Etiopía extenderá sus manos a ʼElohim.
Then people will bring gifts of bronze (OR, of cloth) to you from Egypt; the people in Ethiopia will lift up their hands [to praise you].
32 Oh reinos de la tierra, canten a ʼElohim. Canten salmos a ʼAdonay. (Selah)
[You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
33 Al que cabalga sobre el cielo de los cielos, Que son desde la antigüedad, Ciertamente emite su voz, su poderosa voz.
Sing to the God, the one who rides across the sky, the sky that [he created] long ago. Listen as he shouts with a very powerful voice.
34 Atribuyan fortaleza a ʼElohim. Su magnificencia es sobre Israel Y su poder está en las nubes.
Proclaim that God is very powerful; he is the king that rules over Israel, and in the skies [he also shows that] he is powerful.
35 ¡Oh ʼElohim, Tú eres asombroso desde tu Santuario! El mismo ʼEL de Israel da vigor y poder al pueblo. ¡Bendito sea ʼElohim!
God is awesome as he comes out of his sacred temple; he is the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship]. He makes [DOU] his people very powerful. Praise God!
