Psalmi 79

Nova Vulgata	New Jerusalem Bible
¹ Psalmus. Asaph. Deus, venerunt gentes in hereditatem tuam, polluerunt templum sanctum tuum, posuerunt Ierusalem in ruinas.	¹ [Psalm Of Asaph] God, the pagans have invaded your heritage, they have defiled your holy temple,they have laid Jerusalem in ruins,
² Dederunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus caeli, carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terrae.	² they have left the corpses of your servants as food for the birds of the air, the bodies of your faithful forthe wild beasts.
³ Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Ierusalem, et non erat qui sepeliret.	³ Around Jerusalem they have shed blood like water, leaving no one to bury them.
⁴ Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris, subsannatio et illusio his, qui in circuitu nostro sunt.	⁴ We are the scorn of our neighbours, the butt and laughing-stock of those around us.
⁵ Usquequo, Domine? Irasceris in finem? Accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus?	⁵ How long will you be angry, Yahweh? For ever? Is your jealousy to go on smouldering like a fire?
⁶ Effunde iram tuam in gentes, quae te non noverunt, et in regna, quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt,	⁶ Pour out your anger on the nations who do not acknowledge you, and on the kingdoms that do not callon your name;
⁷ quia comederunt Iacob et sedem eius desolaverunt.	⁷ for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his home.
⁸ Ne memineris iniquitatum patrum nostrorum, cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae, quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.	⁸ Do not count against us the guilt of former generations, in your tenderness come quickly to meet us,for we are utterly weakened;
⁹ Adiuva nos, Deus salutaris nostri, propter gloriam nominis tui et libera nos; et propitius esto peccatis nostris propter nomen tuum.	⁹ help us, God our Saviour, for the glory of your name; Yahweh, wipe away our sins, rescue us for thesake of your name.
¹⁰ Quare dicent in gentibus: “ Ubi est Deus eorum? ”. Innotescat in nationibus coram oculis nostris ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum, qui effusus est.	¹⁰ Why should the nations ask, 'Where is their God?' Let us see the nations suffer vengeance forshedding your servants' blood.
¹¹ Introeat in conspectu tuo gemitus compeditorum; secundum magnitudinem brachii tui superstites relinque filios mortis.	¹¹ May the groans of the captive reach you, by your great strength save those who are condemned todeath!
¹² Et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum, improperium ipsorum, quod exprobraverunt tibi, Domine.	¹² Repay our neighbours sevenfold for the insults they have level ed at you, Lord.
¹³ Nos autem, populus tuus et oves pascuae tuae, confitebimur tibi in saeculum; in generationem et generationem annuntiabimus laudem tuam.	¹³ And we, your people, the flock that you pasture, will thank you for ever, wil recite your praises fromage to age.
