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 make memorial. O LORD, rebuke me not in Thine anger; neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

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

For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.

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

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation; neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

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

For mine iniquities are gone over my head; as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

My wounds are noisome, they fester, because of my foolishness.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

I am bent and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day.

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

For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.

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

I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning 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 sighing is not hid from Thee.

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

My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

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

My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

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

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.

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

But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

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

Yea, I am become as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.

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

For in Thee, O LORD, do I hope; Thou wilt 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: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.'

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

For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.

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

For I do declare mine iniquity; I am full of care because of my sin.

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

But mine enemies are strong in health; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

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

They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

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

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

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

Make haste to help me, O LORD, my salvation.
