Salmos 79
1 Oh ʼElohim, las naciones invadieron tu heredad. Profanaron tu Santuario Y redujeron a escombros a Jerusalén.
God, other people-groups have invaded your land. They have (desecrated your temple/caused your temple to be unfit for worship), and they have destroyed all the buildings in Jerusalem.
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.
[Instead of burying] the corpses of your people [whom they killed], they allowed vultures and wild animals to eat the flesh of those corpses,
3 Derramaron la sangre de ellos como agua alrededor de Jerusalén, Y no hay quien los sepulte.
When they killed your people, your people’s blood flowed like water through [the streets of] Jerusalem, and there was [almost] no one [HYP] left to bury their corpses.
4 Fuimos afrenta de nuestros vecinos, Escarnio y burla de los que nos rodean.
The people-groups that live in countries that surround our land insult us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
5 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Yavé? ¿Estarás airado para siempre? ¿Arderá tu celo como fuego?
Yahweh, how long [will this continue]? Will you be angry with us forever? Will your being angry [destroy us like] a burning fire [destroys things]?
6 Derrama tu ira sobre las naciones que no te conocen Y sobre los reinos que no invocan tu Nombre,
[Instead of being angry with us], be angry with the people-groups that do not know/worship you! Be angry with kingdoms whose people do not pray to you,
7 Porque devoraron a Jacob, Y desolaron su morada.
because they have killed Israeli people and they have ruined your country.
8 No recuerdes contra nosotros las iniquidades de nuestros antepasados. Salgan pronto a encontrarnos tus misericordias, Porque estamos muy abatidos.
Do not punish us because of the sins that our ancestors committed! Be merciful to us now/quickly, because we are very discouraged.
9 Oh ʼElohim de nuestra salvación, ayúdanos, Para la gloria de tu Nombre. Líbranos y perdona nuestros pecados por amor a tu Nombre.
God, you have saved/rescued [us many times], [so] help us [now]; rescue us and forgive us for having sinned in order that other people will honor you [MTY].
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.
It is not right that [RHQ] other people-groups say [about us], “If their God [is very powerful], (surely he should help them/why does he not [help them])?” Allow us to see you punishing the people of other nations in return for their shedding our blood; they have killed many of us, your people.
11 Llegue ante Ti el gemido de los cautivos. Conforme a la grandeza de tu poder Preserva a los sentenciados a muerte.
Listen to your people groaning while they are in prison, and by your great power free those whom our enemies say that they will certainly execute.
12 Devuelve en su regazo a nuestros vecinos siete veces La infamia con la cual te afrentaron, ¡oh ʼAdonay!
In return for their having [often] insulted you, punish them seven times as much!
13 Así nosotros, pueblo tuyo y ovejas de tu prado, Te daremos gracias para siempre. A todas las generaciones contaremos de tu alabanza.
After you do that, we, whom you [take care of like a shepherd takes care of] his sheep, will continue praising you; we will continue to praise you forever [HYP].
