Psalmi 38

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

[A Psalm by David, for a memorial.] YHWH, do not rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

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

For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard 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 flesh because of your 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 my iniquities have 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 loathsome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

I am pained and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long.

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

For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

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

I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of 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 groaning is not hidden from you.

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

My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

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

My loved ones and my friends keep their distance because of my affliction. My kinsmen stand far away.

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

They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.

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

But I, as a deaf man, do not hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.

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

Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.

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

For in you, YHWH, do I hope. You will answer, YHWH my God.

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

For I said, "Do not let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."

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

For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.

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

Yes, I confess my iniquity. I am anxious because of my sin.

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

But my enemies, for no reason, are many. Those who hate me wrongfully are numerous.

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

They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.

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

Do not forsake me, YHWH. My God, do not be far from me.

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

Hurry to help me, YHWH, my salvation.
