79 ¶ Se yon sòm Asaf. Bondye, moun lòt nasyon yo anvayi peyi pèp ou a! Yo antre nan kay ki apa pou ou a, yo derespekte li. Yo fè lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon pil wòch.

Yo kite kadav moun k'ap sèvi ou yo pou zwezo nan syèl vin manje. Yo kite kadav moun k'ap viv pou ou yo pou bèt bwa vin manje.

Yo fè san pèp ou a koule tankou dlo larivyè. San an koule tankou dlo nan tout lavil Jerizalèm. pa t' gen pesonn pou antere kadav yo!

Ou fè nasyon ki bò kote nou yo ap pase nou nan betiz. Wi, yo tout ap lonje dwèt sou nou, y'ap pase nou nan rizib.

Seyè! jouk kilè w'ap rete fache ak nou? Gen lè se pou tout tan? Eske w'ap kite kòlè ou boule nou tankou dife?

¶ Mete ou ankòlè sou nasyon ki pa konnen ou yo, sou pèp ki p'ap sèvi ou yo.

Paske, se yo menm ki fin touye pitit Jakòb yo, yo fin ravaje peyi kote yo rete a.

Tanpri, pa pini nou pou peche zansèt nou yo te fè. Gen pitye pou nou! Prese vin ede nou, paske nou fin dekouraje nèt.

O Bondye, ou menm ki delivrans nou, fè konnen se ou ki gen pouvwa! vin pote nou sekou. Delivre nou, padonnen peche nou yo pou moun ka fè lwanj ou.

10 Poukisa moun lòt nasyon yo ap mande nou: -Kote Bondye nou an! Fè yo wè, devan je nou, jan w'ap pini moun ki te fè san sèvitè ou yo koule!

11 Koute jan prizonye yo ap plenn non! Avèk fòs ponyèt ou, delivre moun yo kondannen amò yo non.

12 Seyè, rann moun lòt nasyon yo sèt fwa laparèy pou tout joure yo joure ou yo.

13 Lè sa a nou menm, pèp ou a, mouton ki nan savann ou yo, nou p'ap janm sispann di ou mèsi. Pitit an pitit, n'a fè lwanj ou.

80 ¶ (80:1) Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante l' sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Bèl ti flè savann blan yo. Se pou yo jwe mizik la sou enstriman akòd. Se yon sòm Asaf. (80:2) Ou menm ki gadò pèp Izrayèl la, ou menm k'ap mennen pitit pitit Jozèf yo tankou bann mouton ou, panche zòrèy ou pou koute nou. Ou menm ki chita sou fotèy ou anwo zanj cheriben yo, parèt nan mitan gwo limyè ou la.

(80:3) Fè pitit Efrayim, pitit Benjamen ansanm ak pitit Manase yo wè jan ou gen pouvwa. vin delivre nou.

(80:4) Bondye, mete nou sou pye nou ankò! Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre.

(80:5) Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, jouk kilè w'a rete fache sou pèp ou k'ap lapriyè nan pye ou?

(80:6) Ou ba yo dlo k'ap koule sot nan je yo pou sèvi yo manje. Ou ba yo gwo gode plen dlo k'ap soti nan je yo pou yo bwè.

(80:7) Ou kite nasyon ki bò kote nou yo ap goumen yonn ak lòt poutèt nou. Ou kite lènmi nou yo ap pase nou nan rizib.

(80:8) Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa, mete nou sou pye nou ankò. Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre.

¶ (80:9) Ou rache yon pye rezen nan peyi Lejip, ou mete anpil nasyon deyò, ou plante l' nan plas yo.

(80:10) Ou pare yon moso tè kote pou l' te grandi. Li pouse gwo rasin byen fon, branch li yo kouvri tout peyi a.

10 (80:11) Lonbraj li te kouvri tout mòn yo, branch li yo kouvri tout gwo pye sèd yo.

11 (80:12) Branch li yo rive jouk bò lanmè Mediterane, jouk bò larivyè Lefrat.

12 (80:13) Poukisa ou lage lantouraj li yo atè konsa, kifè koulye a nenpòt moun k'ap pase vin vòlè rezen li yo?

13 (80:14) Kochon mawon fin raboure rasin li yo, bèt nan bwa ap manje tout fèy li yo.

14 (80:15) Bondye, ou menm ki gen tout pouvwa, tounen vin jwenn nou non! Kote ou ye nan syèl la, gade sak rive nou! Pran ka pye rezen ou lan non!

15 (80:16) vin sove pye rezen ou menm ou te plante a, ti pye rezen ou fè tounen yon gwo pyebwa a.

16 (80:17) Lènmi nou yo mete dife ladan l', yo koupe tout branch li yo. Fè kòlè! Annik gade yo, y'a peri!

17 (80:18) Pwoteje peyi ou te fè tounen yon gwo peyi a! Pwoteje pèp ou te chwazi a!

18 (80:19) Nou p'ap janm vire do ba ou ankò! Ban nou lavi ankò! N'a fè lwanj ou!

19 (80:20) Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, mete nou sou pye nou ankò! Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre!

Psalm 79

A psalm of Asaph.

O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;(A)
    they have defiled(B) your holy temple,
    they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.(C)
They have left the dead bodies of your servants
    as food for the birds of the sky,(D)
    the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.(E)
They have poured out blood like water
    all around Jerusalem,
    and there is no one to bury(F) the dead.(G)
We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,
    of scorn(H) and derision to those around us.(I)

How long,(J) Lord? Will you be angry(K) forever?
    How long will your jealousy burn like fire?(L)
Pour out your wrath(M) on the nations
    that do not acknowledge(N) you,
on the kingdoms
    that do not call on your name;(O)
for they have devoured(P) Jacob
    and devastated his homeland.

Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;(Q)
    may your mercy come quickly to meet us,
    for we are in desperate need.(R)
Help us,(S) God our Savior,
    for the glory of your name;
deliver us and forgive our sins
    for your name’s sake.(T)
10 Why should the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”(U)

Before our eyes, make known among the nations
    that you avenge(V) the outpoured blood(W) of your servants.
11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you;
    with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die.
12 Pay back into the laps(X) of our neighbors seven times(Y)
    the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord.
13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,(Z)
    will praise you forever;(AA)
from generation to generation
    we will proclaim your praise.

Psalm 80[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” Of Asaph. A psalm.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
    you who lead Joseph like a flock.(AB)
You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,(AC)
    shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.(AD)
Awaken(AE) your might;
    come and save us.(AF)

Restore(AG) us,(AH) O God;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.(AI)

How long,(AJ) Lord God Almighty,
    will your anger smolder(AK)
    against the prayers of your people?
You have fed them with the bread of tears;(AL)
    you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.(AM)
You have made us an object of derision[b] to our neighbors,
    and our enemies mock us.(AN)

Restore us, God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.(AO)

You transplanted a vine(AP) from Egypt;
    you drove out(AQ) the nations and planted(AR) it.
You cleared the ground for it,
    and it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
    the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,[c]
    its shoots as far as the River.[d](AS)

12 Why have you broken down its walls(AT)
    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(AU) it,
    and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
    Look down from heaven and see!(AV)
Watch over this vine,
15     the root your right hand has planted,
    the son[e] you have raised up for yourself.

16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;(AW)
    at your rebuke(AX) your people perish.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
    the son of man(AY) you have raised up for yourself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
    revive(AZ) us, and we will call on your name.

19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.

11 ¶ Koulye a, m'ap mande: Eske Bondye te voye pèp li a jete? Men non. Paske mwen menm, mwen se yon moun pèp Izrayèl, yon pitit pitit Abraram. Mwen soti nan branch fanmi Benjamen.

Non, Bondye pa voye pèp li te chwazi davans lan jete. Eske ou pa chonje sa ki ekri nan Liv la, kote y'ap rakonte ki jan Eli t'ap pote plent bay Bondye pou pèp Izrayèl la:

Bondye, yo touye pwofèt yo, yo kraze lotèl ou yo; se mwen menm sèl ki rete. Men y'ap chache wete lavi m' tou?

Men repons Bondye te ba li: Mwen gen sètmilòm (7.000) pou mwen ki pa janm mete jenou yo atè devan Baal.

Konsa tou, koulye a, gen yon ti rès Bondye te chwazi nan pèp la, se yon favè li te fè yo.

Se pa paske yo te fè sa ki byen kifè Bondye te fè yo fave sa a; men se paske Bondye te vle fè l' pou yo. Si se pa t' konsa, favè Bondye a pa ta yon favè tout bon ankò.

Bon. Kisa n'a di koulye a? Sa pèp Izrayèl la t'ap chache a, li pa t' jwenn li. Men, moun Bondye te chwazi yo, se yo ase ki jwenn li. Kanta pou lòt yo, yo vin gen tèt di,

dapre jan sa te ekri nan Liv la: Bondye te rann lespri yo lou, yo gen je, men yo pa ka wè; yo gen zòrèy, men yo pa ka tande jouk jòdi a.

David, bò pa l', di tou: Se pou resepsyon y'ap fè yo tounen yon senn, yon pèlen pou yo, pou yo menm yo pran ladan l', pou yo resevwa chatiman yo.

10 Se pou je yo bouche pou yo pa wè menm. Fè yo mache do ba tout tan.

11 Koulye a, m'ap mande: Lè jwif yo bite, èske yo te tonbe nèt. Men non. Men, lè yo tonbe a, sa penmèt moun lòt nasyon yo rive delivre. Se konsa yo tounen yon jalouzi pou jwif yo.

12 Fòt jwif yo fè a tounen yon richès pou tout moun. Tonbe yo tonbe a, sa vin yon gwo benediksyon pou moun lòt nasyon yo. Nou pa bezwen mande ki gwo benediksyon sa va ye lè tout jwif yo va delivre!

13 Koulye a, nou menm moun lòt nasyon yo, mwen gen sa pou m' di nou: Se apòt nou mwen ye, se vre. Mwen kontan anpil travay m'ap fè a.

14 Men, mwen kwè konsa m'a rive eksite jalouzi moun ras mwen yo, pou m' ka delivre kèk nan yo.

15 Wi. Si lè Bondye te mete jwif yo sou kote, sa te penmèt tout moun sou latè rive vin byen ak Bondye ankò, nou pa bezwen mande kisak va rive lè jwif yo va tounen vin jwenn favè Bondye? Se va lavi pou tout moun ki te mouri yo!

16 Lè yo ofri premye moso pen an bay Bondye, tout rès pen an vin pou li tou. Si yo ofri rasin yon pyebwa bay Bondye, tout branch li yo vin pou li tou.

17 Pèp Izrayèl la tankou yon pye oliv kay. Yo koupe kèk branch soti ladan li. Ou menm ki pa jwif la, ou tankou yon branch pye oliv mawon yo grefe nan plas branch yo koupe yo. Kifè koulye a, se ou menm k'ap pwofite lèt rasin k'ap nouri pye oliv kay la.

18 Se poutèt sa, pa gonfle kò ou sou branch ki koupe yo. Ki jan ou kapab ap fè grandizè? Pa bliye, se yon senp branch ou ye. Se pa ou k'ap pote rasin lan. Men, se rasin lan k'ap pote ou pito.

The Remnant of Israel

11 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means!(A) I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham,(B) from the tribe of Benjamin.(C) God did not reject his people,(D) whom he foreknew.(E) Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]?(F) And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b](G) So too, at the present time there is a remnant(H) chosen by grace.(I) And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works;(J) if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain.(K) The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,(L) as it is written:

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
    eyes that could not see
    and ears that could not hear,(M)
to this very day.”[c](N)

And David says:

“May their table become a snare and a trap,
    a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,(O)
    and their backs be bent forever.”[d](P)

Ingrafted Branches

11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!(Q) Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles(R) to make Israel envious.(S) 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles,(T) how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!

13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,(U) I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy(V) and save(W) some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation(X) to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?(Y) 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits(Z) is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

17 If some of the branches have been broken off,(AA) and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others(AB) and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.(AC)
