Mezmurlar 82

¹Asaf'a ait bir mezmur ilahisi.

²Ey Tanrı, kim sana benzer kılınabilir? Sessiz kalma ve eylemsizliğe bürünme, ey Tanrı.

³Çünkü işte, düşmanların uğuldadı ve senden nefret edenler başlarını kaldırdı.

⁴Halkına karşı kurnazca bir plan tasarladılar ve senin kutsal olanlarına karşı danıştılar.

⁵"Gelin, onları bir ulus olmaktan kazıyıp yok edelim" dediler, "Öyle ki, İsrail'in adı bir daha asla anılmasın."

⁶Çünkü tek bir amaç doğrultusunda oybirliğiyle karar aldılar, sana karşı bir antlaşma kestiler:

⁷İdumelilerin çadırları ve İsmaililer, Moav ve Haceriler,

⁸Geval, Ammon ve Amalek, Sur sakinleriyle birlikte yabancılar.

⁹Nitekim Asur da onlara katıldı, Lut oğullarına bir destek oldular. (Diapsalma).

¹⁰Onlara Midyan'a yaptığını, Kişon sel yatağında Sisera'ya ve Yavin'e yaptığını yap.

¹¹Onlar Endor'da yok edildiler, toprak için gübre gibi oldular.

¹²Onların önderlerini Orev ve Zeev gibi yap, tüm önderlerini de Zevah ve Salmuna gibi kıl.

¹³Onlar ki, "Tanrı'nın kutsal mekanını kendimize miras edinelim" dediler.

¹⁴Ey Tanrım, onları dönen bir tekerlek gibi, rüzgarın önündeki saman çöpü gibi yap.

¹⁵Ormanı yakıp kül edecek olan ateş gibi, dağları tutuşturup bitirecek olan alev gibi;

¹⁶Onları fırtınanla öyle kovalayacaksın ve öfkenle onları tamamen sarsacaksın.

¹⁷Yüzlerini utançla doldur, öyle ki senin adını arasınlar, ey Rab.

¹⁸Çağlar çağı boyunca utandırılsınlar ve dehşete düşürülsünler, rezil olup yok olsunlar.

¹⁹Ve bilsinler ki senin adın Rab'dir; bütün yeryüzü üzerinde tek En Yüce olan yalnızca sensin.

¹᾿ῼδὴ ψαλμοῦ τῷ ᾿Ασάφ. -

²Ο ΘΕΟΣ, τίς ὁμοιωθήσεταί σοι; μὴ σιγήσῃς μηδὲ καταπραΰνῃς, ὁ Θεός·

³ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἤχησαν, καὶ οἱ μισοῦντές σε ᾖραν κεφαλήν,

⁴ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν σου κατεπανουργεύσαντο γνώμην καὶ ἐβουλεύσαντο κατὰ τῶν ἁγίων σου·

⁵εἶπαν· δεῦτε καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσωμεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ ἔθνους, καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθῇ τὸ ὄνομα ᾿Ισραὴλ ἔτι.

⁶ὅτι ἐβουλεύσαντο ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό, κατὰ σοῦ διαθήκην διέθεντο

⁷τὰ σκηνώματα τῶν ᾿Ιδουμαίων καὶ οἱ ᾿Ισμαηλῖται, Μωὰβ καὶ οἱ ᾿Αγαρηνοί,

⁸Γεβὰλ καὶ ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ ᾿Αμαλὴκ καὶ ἀλλόφυλοι μετὰ τῶν κατοικούντων Τύρον.

⁹καὶ γὰρ καὶ ᾿Ασσοὺρ συμπαρεγένετο μετ᾿ αὐτῶν, ἐγενήθησαν εἰς ἀντίληψιν τοῖς υἱοῖς Λώτ. (διάψαλμα).

¹⁰ποίησον αὐτοῖς ὡς τῇ Μαδιὰμ καὶ τῷ Σισάρᾳ, ὡς τῷ ᾿Ιαβεὶμ ἐν τῷ χειμάρρῳ Κεισών·

¹¹ἐξωλοθρεύθησαν ἐν ᾿Αενδώρ, ἐγενήθησαν ὡσεὶ κόπρος τῇ γῇ.

¹²θοῦ τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν ὡς τὸν ᾿Ωρὴβ καὶ Ζὴβ καὶ Ζεβεὲ καὶ Σαλμανὰ πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας αὐτῶν,

¹³οἵτινες εἶπαν· Κληρονομήσωμεν ἑαυτοῖς τὸ ἁγιαστήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

¹⁴ὁ Θεός μου, θοῦ αὐτοὺς ὡς τροχόν, ὡς καλάμην κατὰ πρόσωπον ἀνέμου·

¹⁵ὡσεὶ πῦρ, ὃ διαφλέξει δρυμόν, ὡσεὶ φλόξ, ἣ κατακαύσει ὄρη,

¹⁶οὕτως καταδιώξεις αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ καταιγίδι σου, καὶ ἐν τῇ ὀργῇ σου συνταράξεις αὐτούς.

¹⁷πλήρωσον τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ἀτιμίας, καὶ ζητήσουσι τὸ ὄνομά σου, Κύριε.

¹⁸αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ταραχθήτωσαν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἐντραπήτωσαν καὶ ἀπολέσθωσαν

¹⁹καὶ γνώτωσαν ὅτι ὄνομά σοι Κύριος· σὺ μόνος ῞Υψιστος ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

¹[A Song of a Psalm for Asaph.]

²O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God.

³For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

⁴Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints.

⁵They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.

⁶For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee;

⁷even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;

⁸Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.

⁹Yea, Assur too is come with them: they have become a help to the children of Lot. Pause.

¹⁰Do thou to them as to Madiam, and to Sisera; as to Jabin at the brook of Kison.

¹¹They were utterly destroyed at Aendor: they became as dung for the earth.

¹²Make their princes as Oreb and Zeb, and Zebee and Salmana; [even] all their princes:

¹³who said, let us take to ourselves the altar of God as an inheritance.

¹⁴O my God, make them as a wheel; as stubble before the face of the wind.

¹⁵As fire which shall burn up a wood, as the flame may consume the mountains;

¹⁶so shalt thou persecute them with thy tempest, and trouble them in thine anger.

¹⁷Fill their faces with dishonour; so shall they seek thy name, O Lord.

¹⁸Let them be ashamed and troubled for evermore; yea, let them be confounded and destroyed.

¹⁹And let them know that thy name is Lord; that thou alone art Most High over all the earth.
