Psalmi 50
1 Psalam. Asafov. Bog nad bogovima, Jahve, govori i zove zemlju od izlaza sunčeva do zalaza.
[A Psalm by Asaph.] The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks, and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 Sa Siona predivnog Bog zablista:
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
3 Bog naš dolazi i ne šuti. Pred njim ide oganj što proždire, oko njega silna bjesni oluja.
Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
4 On zove nebesa odozgo i zemlju da sudi narodu svojemu:
He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 “Saberite mi sve pobožnike koji žrtvom Savez sa mnom sklopiše!”
"Gather my faithful ones together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
6 Nebesa objavljuju pravednost njegovu: on je Bog sudac!
The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Selah)
7 “Slušaj, narode moj, ja ću govoriti, o Izraele, svjedočit ću protiv tebe: ja, Bog - Bog tvoj!
"Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
8 Ne korim te zbog žrtava tvojih - paljenice su tvoje svagda preda mnom.
I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9 Neću od doma tvog' uzet junca, ni jaraca iz tvojih torova:
I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
10 tÓa moje su sve životinje šumske, tisuće zvjeradi u gorama mojim.
For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
11 Znam sve ptice nebeske, moje je sve što se miče u poljima.
I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
12 Kad bih ogladnio, ne bih ti rekao, jer moja je zemlja i sve što je ispunja.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 Zar da ja jedem meso bikova ili da pijem krv jaraca?
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Prinesi Bogu žrtvu zahvalnu, ispuni Višnjemu zavjete svoje!
Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
15 I zazovi me u dan tjeskobe: oslobodit ću te, a ti ćeš me slaviti.”
Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me."
16 A grešniku Bog progovara: “Što tumačiš naredbe moje, što mećeš u usta Savez moj?
But to the wicked God says, "What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
17 Ti, komu stega ne prija, te riječi moje iza leđa bacaš?
seeing you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
18 Kad tata vidiš, s njime se bratimiš i družiš se s preljubnicima.
When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
19 Svoja si usta predao pakosti, a jezik ti plete prijevare.
"You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
20 U društvu na brata govoriš i kaljaš sina matere svoje.
You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother's son.
21 Sve si to činio, a ja da šutim? Zar misliš da sam ja tebi sličan? Pokarat ću te i stavit ću ti sve to pred oči.”
You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
22 Shvatite ovo svi vi koji Boga zaboraviste, da vas ne pograbim i nitko vas spasiti neće.
"Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.
23 Pravo me štuje onaj koji prinosi žrtvu zahvalnu: i onomu koji hodi stazama pravim - njemu ću pokazati spasenje svoje.
Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me; and to him who orders his conduct I will show the salvation of God."
