Psalmi 38

1 Psalam. Davidov. Za spomen. Jahve, u srdžbi svojoj nemoj ne karati, i nemoj me kazniti u svojemu gnjevu.

A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

2 Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:

For Your arrows have pierced me deeply, and Your hand has pressed down on me.

3 na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema zbog gnjeva tvog, od grijeha mojih mira mi nema kostima.

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

4 Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.

For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.

5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.

7 Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.

For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.

8 Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.

I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

9 O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.

O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.

10 Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.

My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.

11 Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.

My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.

12 Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.

Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.

13 A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.

But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

14 Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.

I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply.

15 Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!

I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.

16 Rekoh: “Nek' se ne raduju nada mnom; kad mi noga posrne, nek' se ne uzdižu nada mnom!”

For I said, “Let them not gloat over me— those who taunt me when my foot slips.”

17 Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.

For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

18 Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.

Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

19 A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.

Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.

20 Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.

Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.

21 O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!

Do not forsake me, O LORD; be not far from me, O my God.

22 Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!

Come quickly to help me, O Lord my Savior.
