Psalmi 38
1 Psalam. Davidov. Za spomen. Jahve, u srdžbi svojoj nemoj ne karati, i nemoj me kazniti u svojemu gnjevu.
A Melody of David. To bring to Remembrance. O Yahweh, do not, in thine anger, correct me, nor, in thy wrath, chastise me;
2 Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:
For, thine arrows, have sunk down into me, and thy hand, presseth heavily 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, By reason of thine indignation, There is no peace in my bones, By reason of my sin;
4 Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.
For, mine iniquities, have passed over my head, Like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me:
5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.
My wounds are of bad odour—they have festered, by reason of my folly:
6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.
I am bent, I am bowed down very low. All the day, have I gloomily walked;
7 Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.
For, my loins, are filled with inflammation, and there is no soundness in my flesh:
8 Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.
I am benumbed and crushed exceedingly, —I have cried aloud because of the groaning of my heart.
9 O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.
O My Lord! before thee, is all my longing, and, my sighing, from thee, hath not been hid:
10 Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.
My heart, fluttereth, my strength hath forsaken me, and, as for the light of mine eyes, even they, are not with me:
11 Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.
My lovers, and my friends, from before my stroke, stand aloof, —and, my near ones, far away, do stand:
12 Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.
Yea they who are seeking my life, have laid snares, and they who are asking my harm, have threatened engulfing ruin, And, deceitful things—all day long, do they mutter.
13 A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.
But, I, as one deaf, will not hear, —and as one dumb, who will not open his mouth:
14 Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.
Thus have I become as a man who cannot hear, in whose mouth are no arguments:
15 Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!
Because, for thee, O Yahweh, have I waited, Thou, wilt answer, O Adonay, 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 feet were tottering, against me, have they magnified themselves:
17 Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.
For, I, to halt, am ready, and, my pain, is before me continually;
18 Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.
For, mine iniquity, will I declare, I shall be anxious because of my sin;
19 A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.
And, my foes, are alive—have become strong, —and multiplied are they who hate me for false cause:
20 Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.
Even they who are repaying evil for good, accuse me because I pursue the good.
21 O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!
Do not forsake me, O Yahweh, My God! be not far from me:
22 Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!
Make haste to help me, My Lord, my deliverance!
