Psalmi 116
1 Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
I love Jehovah because he hears my voice and my supplications.
2 uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
Because he has inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call as long as I live.
The cords of death encompassed me, and the pains of Sheol got hold upon me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
Then I called upon the name of Jehovah. O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous. Yea, our God is merciful.
6 Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
Jehovah preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
Return to thy rest, O my soul, for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with thee.
8 On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
For thou have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
9 Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
10 Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
I believed, therefore I have spoken, but I was greatly afflicted.
11 U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
What shall I render to Jehovah for all his benefits toward me?
13 Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
14 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yea, in the presence of all his people.
15 Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his sanctified.
16 Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant. I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid. Thou have loosed my bonds.
17 Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
18 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yea, in the presence of all his people,
19 u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
in the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
