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. To keep in memory. O Lord, be not bitter with me in your wrath; let not your hand be on me in the heat of your passion.
2 Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:
For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.
3 na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema zbog gnjeva tvog, od grijeha mojih mira mi nema kostima.
My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.
4 Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.
For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.
5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.
My wounds are poisoned and evil-smelling, because of my foolish behaviour.
6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.
I am troubled, I am made low; I go weeping all the day.
7 Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.
For my body is full of burning; all my flesh is unhealthy.
8 Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.
I am feeble and crushed down; I gave a cry like a lion because of the grief in my heart.
9 O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.
Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.
10 Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.
My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.
11 Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.
My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.
12 Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.
Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.
13 A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.
But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.
14 Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.
So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.
15 Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!
In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.
16 Rekoh: “Nek' se ne raduju nada mnom; kad mi noga posrne, nek' se ne uzdižu nada mnom!”
I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me.
17 Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.
My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me.
18 Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.
I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.
19 A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.
But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.
20 Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.
They give me back evil for good; they are my haters because I go after the thing which is right.
21 O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!
Do not give me up, O Lord; O my God, be near to me.
22 Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!
Come quickly to give me help, O Lord, my salvation.
