Salmos 74
1 Oh ʼElohim, ¿por qué nos desechaste para siempre? ¿Por qué humea tu ira contra las ovejas de tu prado?
God, why have you abandoned/rejected us? Will you keep rejecting us forever [RHQ]? Why are you angry with us, since we are like sheep in your pasture [and you are like our shepherd]? [MET, RHQ]
2 Acuérdate de tu congregación, La que compraste desde tiempo antiguo, La que redimiste para que sea tribu de tu heredad, Y de esta Montaña Sion, donde moras.
Do not forget your people whom you chose long ago, the people whom you freed [from being slaves in Egypt] and caused to become your tribe. Do not forget Jerusalem, which was (your home/where you dwelt) [on this earth].
3 Dirige tus pasos hacia las perpetuas desolaciones. Todo destruyó el enemigo en el Santuario.
Walk along [and see] where everything has been totally ruined; our enemies have destroyed everything in the sacred temple.
4 Tus adversarios vociferan en medio de tu lugar de reunión. Pusieron como insignias sus propios estandartes.
Your enemies shouted triumphantly in this sacred place; they erected their banners [to show they had defeated us].
5 Se parecen a los que levantan hachas en un bosque de árboles.
They cut down all the [engraved objects in the temple] like woodsmen cut down trees.
6 Y ahora todas sus entalladuras destruyen con hachas y martillos.
Then they smashed all the carved wood with their axes and hammers.
7 Y hasta los cimientos quemaron tu Santuario. Profanaron el lugar de morada de tu Nombre.
[Then] they burned your temple to the ground; they caused that place where you were worshiped to be unfit for people to worship in.
8 Dijeron en su corazón: Destruyámoslos por completo. Y quemaron todas las congregaciones de ʼEL en la tierra.
They said to themselves, “We will destroy the Israelis completely,” and they [also] burned down all the other places where we gathered to worship God.
9 No vemos nuestras insignias, Ya no hay profeta, Ni hay entre nosotros quien sepa hasta cuándo.
All our sacred symbols (OR, miracles) are gone; there are no prophets now/any more, and no one knows how long [this situation will continue].
10 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh ʼElohim, nos seguirá afrentando el adversario? ¿Seguirá blasfemando tu Nombre para siempre?
God, how long will our enemies make fun of you [RHQ]? Will they insult you [MTY] forever [RHQ]?
11 ¿Por qué retraes tu mano? ¿Por qué escondes tu mano derecha en tu regazo? ¡Destrúyelos!
Why do you refuse to help [MTY, RHQ] us? Why do you keep your hand inside your cloak [instead of using it to destroy our enemies] [RHQ]?
12 Sin embargo, ʼElohim es mi Rey desde antaño, Quien hace obras de salvación en la tierra.
God, you have been our king [all the time] since we came out of Egypt [HYP], and you have enabled us to defeat [our enemies] in the land [of Israel].
13 Tú dividiste el mar con tu poder. Quebraste en las aguas las cabezas de los monstruos.
By your power you caused the [Red] Sea to divide; [it was as though] you smashed the heads of the [rulers of Egypt who were like] huge sea dragons [MET].
14 Tú aplastaste las cabezas de cocodrilo. Lo diste como comida a las criaturas del desierto.
[It was as though] you crushed the head of the king of Egypt [MET] and gave his body to the animals in the desert to eat.
15 Tú abriste fuentes y torrentes. Secaste corrientes impetuosas.
You caused springs and streams to flow, and you [also] dried up rivers that had never dried up previously.
16 Tuyo es el día, tuya también la noche. Tú preparaste la luz y el sol.
You created the days and the nights, and you put the sun and the moon in their places.
17 Tú estableciste todos los límites de la tierra. Tú hiciste verano e invierno.
You determined where the oceans end and the land begins, and you created the summer/hot season and the winter/cold season.
18 Recuerda esto, oh Yavé, que el enemigo te ofendió, Y gente insensata blasfemó tu Nombre.
Yahweh, do not forget that your enemies laugh at you, and that it is foolish people who despise you [MTY].
19 No entregues la vida de tu tórtola a las bestias salvajes. No olvides para siempre la vida de tu pobre.
Do not let your helpless people [MET] fall into the hands of their cruel enemies; do not forget your suffering/persecuted people.
20 Considera el Pacto, Porque los lugares oscuros de la tierra están llenos de habitaciones de violencia.
Do not forget the agreement that you made with us; remember that there are violent people in every dark place on the earth.
21 No permitas que el oprimido regrese avergonzado. Ordena que los afligidos y menesterosos alaben tu Nombre.
Do not allow your oppressed people to be disgraced; help those poor and needy people in order that they will [again] praise you [MTY].
22 ¡Levántate, oh ʼElohim, y defiende tu propia causa! Recuerda cómo el insensato te ofende todo el día.
God, arise and defend yourself [by defending your people]! Do not forget that foolish people laugh at you (all day long/continually)!
23 No olvides la voz de tus adversarios, El tumulto de los que se levantan contra Ti, Que sube de continuo.
Do not forget that your enemies shout angrily [at you]; the uproar that they make [while they oppose you] never stops.
