Psalmi 38

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

A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath. Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath.

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

For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me.

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

There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.

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

For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.

5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

My sores are putrified and corrupted, because of my foolishness.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long.

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

For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh.

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

I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart.

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

Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.

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

My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.

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

My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:

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

And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.

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

But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.

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

And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.

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

For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, 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: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.

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

For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.

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

For I will declare my inequity: and I will think for my sin.

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

But my enemies live, and are stronger that I: and they hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

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

They that render evil for good, have detracted me, because I followed goodness.

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

Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not thou depart from me.

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

Attend unto my help, O Lord, the God of my salvation.
