Psalmi 50
1 Psalam. Asafov. Bog nad bogovima, Jahve, govori i zove zemlju od izlaza sunčeva do zalaza.
God, the all-powerful one, speaks; he summons all people, from the east to the west.
2 Sa Siona predivnog Bog zablista:
His glory shines from Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], an extremely beautiful city.
3 Bog naš dolazi i ne šuti. Pred njim ide oganj što proždire, oko njega silna bjesni oluja.
Our God comes to us, and he is not silent. A great fire is in front of him, and a storm is around him.
4 On zove nebesa odozgo i zemlju da sudi narodu svojemu:
He comes to judge his people. He shouts to the [angels in] heaven and to [the people on] the earth.
5 “Saberite mi sve pobožnike koji žrtvom Savez sa mnom sklopiše!”
He says, “Summon those who faithfully [worship] me, those who made an agreement with me by offering sacrifices to me.”
6 Nebesa objavljuju pravednost njegovu: on je Bog sudac!
The [angels in] heaven declare, “God is righteous, and he is the supreme judge.”
7 “Slušaj, narode moj, ja ću govoriti, o Izraele, svjedočit ću protiv tebe: ja, Bog - Bog tvoj!
God says, “My people, listen! You Israeli people, listen, as I, your God, say what you have done that is wrong.
8 Ne korim te zbog žrtava tvojih - paljenice su tvoje svagda preda mnom.
I am not rebuking you for making sacrifices to me, for the offerings that you completely burn [on the altar].
9 Neću od doma tvog' uzet junca, ni jaraca iz tvojih torova:
But I do not really need [you to sacrifice] the bulls from your barns and the goats from your pens,
10 tÓa moje su sve životinje šumske, tisuće zvjeradi u gorama mojim.
because all the animals in the forest belong to me, [and all] the cattle on 1,000 hills also belong to me.
11 Znam sve ptice nebeske, moje je sve što se miče u poljima.
I [own and] know all the birds and all [the creatures] that move around in the fields.
12 Kad bih ogladnio, ne bih ti rekao, jer moja je zemlja i sve što je ispunja.
[So], if I were hungry, I would not tell you [to bring me some food], because everything in the world belongs to me!
13 Zar da ja jedem meso bikova ili da pijem krv jaraca?
I do not eat the flesh of the bulls [that you sacrifice], and I do not drink the blood of the goats [that you offer to me].
14 Prinesi Bogu žrtvu zahvalnu, ispuni Višnjemu zavjete svoje!
The sacrifice [that I really want is that] you thank me and do all that you have promised to do.
15 I zazovi me u dan tjeskobe: oslobodit ću te, a ti ćeš me slaviti.”
And pray to me when you have troubles. [If you do that], I will rescue you, and [then] you will praise me.
16 A grešniku Bog progovara: “Što tumačiš naredbe moje, što mećeš u usta Savez moj?
But I say this to the wicked people: (Why do you/It does not benefit you at all to) [RHQ] recite my commandments or talk about the agreement that I made with you,
17 Ti, komu stega ne prija, te riječi moje iza leđa bacaš?
because you have refused to allow me to discipline you, and you have rejected what I told you to do.
18 Kad tata vidiš, s njime se bratimiš i družiš se s preljubnicima.
Every time that you see a thief, you become his friend, and you spend [much] time with those who commit adultery.
19 Svoja si usta predao pakosti, a jezik ti plete prijevare.
You are [always] talking [MTY] about doing wicked things, and you are [always] to deceive people.
20 U društvu na brata govoriš i kaljaš sina matere svoje.
You are always accusing members of your own family [of doing wrong], and slandering them.
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 did [all] those things, and I did not say anything to you, [so] you thought that I was [a sinner] just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you, right in front of you.
22 Shvatite ovo svi vi koji Boga zaboraviste, da vas ne pograbim i nitko vas spasiti neće.
So, all you who have ignored me, pay attention to this, because if you do not, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to rescue you.
23 Pravo me štuje onaj koji prinosi žrtvu zahvalnu: i onomu koji hodi stazama pravim - njemu ću pokazati spasenje svoje.
The sacrifice that [truly] honors me is to thank me [for what I have done]; and I will save those who always do the things that I want them to.”
