< Psalmi 68 >
1 Zborovođi. Davidov. Psalam. Pjesma. Bog nek' ustane! Razbježali se dušmani njegovi! Svi mrzitelji njegovi pobjegli pred njim!
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song.] Let God arise. Let his enemies be scattered, and let them who hate him flee before him.
2 Kao što dim iščezava, i njih neka nestane! Kako se vosak topi na ognju, nek' nestane grešnika pred licem Božjim!
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Pravedni neka se raduju, neka klikću pred Bogom, neka kliču od radosti.
But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Pjevajte Bogu, slavite mu ime! Poravnajte put onome koji ide pustinjom - kojemu je ime Jahve - i kličite pred njim!
Sing to God. Sing praises to his name. Extol him who rides on the clouds: to the LORD, his name. Rejoice before him.
5 Otac sirota, branitelj udovica, Bog je u svom svetom šatoru.
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Napuštene okućit će Jahve, sužnjima pružit' sretnu slobodu: buntovnici samo ostaše u sažganoj pustinji.
God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 Kad si stupao, Bože, pred narodom svojim, dok si prolazio pustinjom,
God, when you went forth before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... (Selah)
8 tresla se zemlja, nebo se rosilo pred Bogom, Sinaj drhtao pred Bogom, Bogom Izraela.
The earth trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai—at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Blagoslovljen dažd pustio si, Bože, na baštinu svoju, okrijepio je umornu.
You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Stado se tvoje nastani u njoj, u dobroti, Bože, ti je spremi siromahu.
Your congregation lived in it. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11 Jahve riječ zadaje, veliko je mnoštvo radosnih vjesnika:
The LORD announced the word; a great company of women proclaim the good news.
12 kraljevi vojska bježe te bježe, domaćice plijen dijele.
"Kings of armies flee. They flee." She who waits at home divides the spoil,
13 Dok vi počivaste među stadima, krila golubice zablistaše srebrom, a njeno perje žućkastim zlatom:
while you sleep among the campfires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining gold.
14 ondje Svemogući razbijaše kraljeve, a ona poput snijega zablista na Salmonu.
When Shaddai scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
15 Božanska je gora gora bašanska vrletna.
The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
16 Zašto vi, gore vrletne, zavidno gledate na goru gdje se svidje Bogu prebivati? Jahve će na njoj boraviti svagda!
Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
17 Božja su kola bezbrojna, tisuću tisuća: Jahve sa Sinaja u Svetište dolazi!
The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The LORD is among them, from Sinai, in holiness.
18 Na visinu uzađe vodeći sužnje, na dar si ljude primio, pa i one što ne žele prebivati kod Boga.
You have ascended on high. You have taken captivity captive. And you gave gifts to people; but the rebellious will not dwell in the presence of God.
19 Blagoslovljen Jahve dan za danom, nosi nas Bog, naš Spasitelj.
Blessed be the LORD, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Bog naš jest Bog koji spasava, Jahve od smrti izbavlja.
God is to us a God of deliverance. To the LORD belongs escape from death.
21 Zaista, Bog će satrti glave dušmana svojih, kuštravo tjeme onog što hodi u grijesima.
But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
22 Reče Gospodin: “Iz Bašana ću ih dovesti, dovest ću ih iz dubine mora,
The LORD said, "I will bring you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from the depths of the sea;
23 da okupaš nogu u krvi, da jezici tvojih pasa imadnu dio od dušmana.”
That you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies."
24 Ulazak ti, Bože, gledaju, ulazak moga Boga i Kralja u Svetište:
They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 sprijeda pjevači, za njima svirači, u sredini djevojke s bubnjićima.
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the ladies playing with tambourines,
26 “U svečanim zborovima slavite Boga, slavite Jahvu, sinovi Izraelovi!”
"Bless God in the congregations, even the LORD from the fountain of Israel."
27 Predvodi ih najmlađi, Benjamin, koji ide pred njima, ondje su knezovi Judini sa četama svojim, knezovi Zebulunovi i knezovi Naftalijevi.
There is little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Pokaži, Bože, silu svoju, silu kojom se, Bože, boriš za nas
Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29 iz Hrama svojega u Jeruzalemu! Nek' ti kraljevi darove donose!
Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to you.
30 Ukroti neman u trsci, stado bikova s teladi naroda! Neka se prostru pred tobom sa srebrnim žezlima: rasprši narode koji se ratu vesele!
Rebuke the wild animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Being humbled, may it bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations that delight in war.
31 Nek' dođu velikani iz Egipta, Etiopija nek' pruži ruke Bogu!
Envoys shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.
32 Sva kraljevstva svijeta, pjevajte Bogu, slavite Jahvu,
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth. Sing praises to the LORD. (Selah)
33 koji se vozi po nebu, po nebu iskonskom! Čuj, glasom grmi, glasom svojim silnim:
To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; look, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.
34 “Priznajte silu Božju!” Nad Izraelom veličanstvo njegovo, u oblacima (sila) njegova!
Ascribe strength to God. His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
35 Strašan je Bog iz svojega Svetišta. Bog Izraelov daje moć i silu narodu svojemu. Blagoslovljen Bog!
You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God.
