Salmos 79
1 Oh ʼElohim, las naciones invadieron tu heredad. Profanaron tu Santuario Y redujeron a escombros a Jerusalén.
A Psalm. Of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into your heritage; they have made your holy Temple unclean; they have made Jerusalem a mass of broken walls.
2 Dieron los cadáveres de tus esclavos Como comida a las aves del cielo, La carne de tus santos a las bestias de la tierra.
They have given the bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, and the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3 Derramaron la sangre de ellos como agua alrededor de Jerusalén, Y no hay quien los sepulte.
Their blood has been flowing like water round about Jerusalem; there was no one to put them in their last resting-place.
4 Fuimos afrenta de nuestros vecinos, Escarnio y burla de los que nos rodean.
We are looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and made sport of by those who are round us.
5 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Yavé? ¿Estarás airado para siempre? ¿Arderá tu celo como fuego?
How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? will your wrath go on burning like fire?
6 Derrama tu ira sobre las naciones que no te conocen Y sobre los reinos que no invocan tu Nombre,
Let your wrath be on the nations who have no knowledge of you, and on the kingdoms who have not made prayer to your name.
7 Porque devoraron a Jacob, Y desolaron su morada.
For they have taken Jacob for their meat, and made waste his house.
8 No recuerdes contra nosotros las iniquidades de nuestros antepasados. Salgan pronto a encontrarnos tus misericordias, Porque estamos muy abatidos.
Do not keep in mind against us the sins of our fathers; let your mercy come to us quickly, for we have been made very low.
9 Oh ʼElohim de nuestra salvación, ayúdanos, Para la gloria de tu Nombre. Líbranos y perdona nuestros pecados por amor a tu Nombre.
Give us help, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; take us out of danger and give us forgiveness for our sins, because of your name.
10 ¿Por qué deben decir los gentiles: Dónde está su ʼElohim? Sea proclamada a los gentiles y ante nuestros ojos La venganza de la sangre de tus esclavos que fue derramada.
Why may the nations say, Where is their God? Let payment for the blood of your servants be made openly among the nations before our eyes.
11 Llegue ante Ti el gemido de los cautivos. Conforme a la grandeza de tu poder Preserva a los sentenciados a muerte.
Let the cry of the prisoner come before you; with your strong arm make free the children of death;
12 Devuelve en su regazo a nuestros vecinos siete veces La infamia con la cual te afrentaron, ¡oh ʼAdonay!
And give punishment seven times over into the breast of our neighbours for the bitter words which they have said against you, O Lord.
13 Así nosotros, pueblo tuyo y ovejas de tu prado, Te daremos gracias para siempre. A todas las generaciones contaremos de tu alabanza.
So we your people, and the sheep of your flock, will give you glory for ever: we will go on praising you through all generations.
