Psalmi 31
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Tebi se, Jahve, utječem, o, da se ne postidim nikada: u svojoj me pravdi izbavi!
To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, Let me not be ashamed to times age-abiding, In thy righteousness, deliver me:
2 Prikloni k meni uho svoje, pohiti da me oslobodiš! Budi mi hrid zaštite, tvrđava spasenja.
Incline unto me, thine ear, Speedily rescue me, —Become to me a Rock of refuge, a Place of security, For saving me.
3 Jer ti si hrid moja, tvđava moja, radi svoga imena vodi me i ravnaj.
Because, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art, Therefore, for the sake of thine own Name, wilt thou lead me and guide me?
4 Izvuci me iz mreže koju mi zapeše, jer ti si moje utočište.
Wilt thou bring me forth, out of the net which they have hidden for me? For, thou, art my refuge.
5 U tvoje ruke duh svoj predajem: otkupi me, Jahve, Bože vjerni.
Into thy hand, do I commit my spirit—Thou hast ransomed me, O Yahweh, GOD most faithful.
6 Ti mrziš one koji štuju ništavne kumire, a ja se u Jahvu uzdam.
I hate such as give heed to false vanities, I, then, in Yahweh, have set my hope.
7 Radosno ću klicat' tvojoj milosti, jer si na moju bijedu pogledao, pomogao u tjeskobi duši mojoj.
I will indeed exult and rejoice, in thy lovingkindness, —In that thou hast looked upon my humiliation, thou hast taken note that in distresses was my life;
8 Nisi me predao u ruke dušmana, noge si mi na prostran put izveo.
And hast not shut me up in the hand of the foe, Thou hast given standing, in a roomy place, unto my feet.
9 Smiluj mi se, Jahve, jer sam u tjeskobi, od jada slabi mi oko, duša i tijelo.
Show me favour, O Yahweh, for in distress am I, —Wasted with vexation, is mine eye—my soul and my body;
10 Život mi se troši u gorčini, ljeta moja u jecanju. U muci mi se iscrpila snaga i kosti su moje klonule.
For, consumed with sorrow, is my life, and my years with sighing, —My strength hath staggered with my humiliation, and, my bones, are without marrow.
11 Dušmanima svojim postao sam ruglo, susjedima podsmijeh, a znancima strašilo; koji me vide vani, bježe od mene.
By reason of all mine adversaries, have I become a reproach. Even to my neighbours, altogether, and a dread to mine acquaintance, —They who have seen me abroad, have fled from me:
12 Nestalo me k'o mrtvaca iz sjećanja ljudi, postadoh k'o razbijena posuda.
I have been forgotten, like one dead—out of mind, I have been as a missing vessel.
13 Čujem šaputanje mnogih, užas odasvud: sastaju se protiv mene i smišljaju kako da mi život oduzmu.
For I have heard the whispering of many—A terror round about! When they have sat in conclave together against me, to take away my life, have they intrigued.
14 A ja se, Jahve, u tebe uzdam; govorim: Ti si Bog moj!
I, therefore. in thee, have put my trust, O Yahweh, I have said, My God, thou art!
15 U tvojoj je ruci sudbina moja: istrgni me iz ruke dušmana i onih koji me progone!
In thy hand, are my times, Rescue me from the hand of my foes and from my pursuers!
16 Rasvijetli lice nad slugom svojim, po svojoj me dobroti spasi.
Cause thy face to shine upon thy servant, Save me in thy lovingkindness.
17 Jahve, ne bilo me stid što tebe zazvah! Neka se postide zlotvori, nek' u Podzemlju zamuknu. (Sheol h7585)
O Yahweh! let me not be ashamed, For I have called upon thee, Let the lawless be ashamed, Go down in silence to hades! (Sheol h7585)
18 Nek' zanijeme usne lažljive koje protiv pravednika govore drsko, oholo i prezirno.
Let false lips be made dumb, —which are speaking—against a righteous one—arrogantly, with pride and contempt.
19 O, kako je velika, Jahve, tvoja dobrota, koju čuvaš za one koji te se boje, koju iskazuješ onima što se tebi utječu naočigled sinovima čovječjim.
How great is thy goodness, which thou hast hidden away for them who revere thee, —Thou hast wrought for them who seek refuge in thee, in sight of the sons of men.
20 Zaklanjaš ih štitom lica svoga od zavjera ljudskih; u šatoru svom ih skrivaš od jezika svadljivih.
Thou wilt conceal them, in the secrecy of thine own presence, from the conspiracies of men, —Thou wilt hide them in a pavilion, from the strife of tongues.
21 Blagoslovljen Jahve jer me obasu čudesnom dobrotom u gradu tvrdom.
Blessed be Yahweh, for he hath made wonderful his lovingkindness for me, in a fortified city.
22 U tjeskobi svojoj već mišljah: “Odbačen sam od pogleda tvoga.” Ali ti si čuo glas mog zaziva dok sam tebi vapio.
But, I, had said in mine alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes, —But, indeed, thou didst hear the voice of my supplication, when I cried for help unto thee.
23 Ljubite Jahvu, svi sveti njegovi: čuva Jahve svoje vjernike, a po zasluzi vraća onima koji postupaju oholo.
Love Yahweh, all ye his men of lovingkindness, —Faithfulness, doth Yahweh observe, but repayeth abundantly him that worketh proudly.
24 Budite hrabri i jaka srca, svi koji se u Jahvu uzdate!
Be strong, and let your heart be bold, all ye who are waiting for Yahweh.
