Salmos 80
1 Al Vencedor: sobre Sosanim: testimonio de Asaf: Salmo. Oh Pastor de Israel, escucha; tú que pastoreas como a ovejas a José, que estás entre querubines, resplandece.
[Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
2 Despierta tu valentía delante de Efraín, y de Benjamín, y de Manasés, y ven a salvarnos.
Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
3 Oh Dios, haznos tornar; y haz resplandecer tu rostro, y seremos salvos.
God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
4 SEÑOR, Dios de los ejércitos, ¿Hasta cuándo humearás tú contra la oración de tu pueblo?
Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
5 Les diste a comer pan de lágrimas, y les diste a beber lágrimas con medida.
[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6 Nos pusiste por contienda a nuestros vecinos; y nuestros enemigos se burlan de nosotros entre sí.
You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
7 Oh Dios de los ejércitos, haznos tornar; y haz resplandecer tu rostro, y seremos salvos.
God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
8 Hiciste venir una vid desde Egipto; echaste los gentiles, y la plantaste.
[Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
9 Limpiaste sitio delante de ella, e hiciste arraigar sus raíces, y llenó la tierra.
[Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
10 Los montes fueron cubiertos de su sombra; y sus ramas como cedros de Dios.
[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
11 Envió sus ramas hasta el mar, y hasta el río sus renuevos.
[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
12 ¿Por qué aportillaste sus vallados, y la vendimian todos los que pasan por el camino?
So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
13 La estropeó el puerco montés, y la pació la bestia del campo.
and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
14 Oh Dios de los ejércitos, vuelve ahora; mira desde el cielo, y ve, y visita esta vid,
You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
15 y la viña que tu diestra plantó, y sobre el renuevo que corroboraste para ti.
who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
16 Quemada a fuego está, y talada; perezcan por la reprensión de tu rostro.
Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
17 Sea tu mano sobre el varón de tu diestra, sobre el hijo del hombre que corroboraste para ti.
But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
18 Así no nos volveremos de ti; nos darás vida, e invocaremos tu Nombre.
When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
19 Oh SEÑOR, Dios de los ejércitos, haznos tornar; haz resplandecer tu rostro, y seremos salvos.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
