Psalmi 69
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ljiljani”. Davidov. Spasi me, Bože: vode mi dođoše do grla!
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.
2 U duboko blato zapadoh i nemam kamo nogu staviti; u duboku tonem vodu, pokrivaju me valovi.
I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.
3 Iznemogoh od vikanja, grlo mi je promuklo, oči mi klonuše Boga mog čekajuć'.
I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.
4 Brojniji su od vlasi na glavi mojoj oni koji me mrze nizašto. Tvrđi su od kostiju mojih oni što mi se nepravedno protive: zar mogu vratiti što nisam oteo?
Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs of my head; many are those who would destroy me— my enemies for no reason. Though I did not steal, I must repay.
5 Bože, ti znadeš bezumnost moju, moji ti grijesi nisu sakriti.
You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You.
6 Nek' se ne postide zbog mene koji se u te uzdaju, Gospode, Jahve nad Vojskama! Neka se ne posrame zbog mene koji traže tebe, Bože Izraelov!
May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.
7 Jer zbog tebe podnesoh pogrdu, i stid mi pokri lice.
For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.
8 Tuđinac postadoh braći i stranac djeci majke svoje.
I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,
9 Jer me izjela revnost za Dom tvoj i poruge onih koji se rugaju tebi padoše na me.
because zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.
10 Dušu sam postom mučio, okrenulo mi se u ruglo.
I wept and fasted, but it brought me reproach.
11 Uzeh kostrijet za haljinu, i postah im igračka.
I made sackcloth my clothing, and I was sport to them.
12 Koji sjede na vratima protiv mene govore, vinopije mi rugalice poju.
Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of drunkards.
13 No tebi se molim, Jahve, u vrijeme milosti, Bože; po velikoj dobroti svojoj ti me usliši po svojoj vjernoj pomoći!
But my prayer to You, O LORD, is for a time of favor. In Your abundant loving devotion, O God, answer me with Your sure salvation.
14 Izvuci me iz blata da ne potonem, od onih koji me mrze izbavi me - iz voda dubokih.
Rescue me from the mire and do not let me sink; deliver me from my foes and out of the deep waters.
15 Nek' me ne pokriju valovi, nek' me ne proguta dubina, nek' bezdan ne zatvori usta nada mnom!
Do not let the floods engulf me or the depths swallow me up; let not the Pit close its mouth over me.
16 Usliši me, Jahve, jer je dobrostiva milost tvoja, po velikom milosrđu pogledaj na me!
Answer me, O LORD, for Your loving devotion is good; turn to me in keeping with Your great compassion.
17 Ne sakrivaj lica pred slugom svojim; jer sam u stisci, usliši me brzo!
Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!
18 Približi se duši mojoj i spasi je; zbog dušmana mojih oslobodi me!
Draw near to my soul and redeem me; ransom me because of my foes.
19 Ti mi znadeš porugu, stid i sramotu, pred tvojim su očima svi koji me muče.
You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.
20 Ruganje mi slomilo srce i klonuh; čekao sam da se tko sažali nada mnom, ali ga ne bi; i da me tko utješi, ali ga ne nađoh.
Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.
21 U jelo mi žuči umiješaše, u mojoj me žeđi octom napojiše.
They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.
22 Nek' im stol bude zamka, a žrtvene gozbe stupica!
May their table become a snare; may it be a retribution and a trap.
23 Nek' im potamne oči da ne vide, nek' im bokovi zasvagda oslabe!
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.
24 Izlij na njih ljutinu, žar tvoga gnjeva nek' ih zahvati!
Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.
25 Njihova kuća nek' opusti, u njihovu šatoru nek' nitko ne stanuje!
May their place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
26 Jer su progonili koga ti pokara, bol povećaše onomu koga ti rani.
For they persecute the one You struck and recount the pain of those You wounded.
27 Na njihovu krivnju krivnju još dodaj, ne opravdali se pred tobom!
Add iniquity to their iniquity; let them not share in Your righteousness.
28 Nek' budu izbrisani iz knjige živih, među pravednike neka se ne broje!
May they be blotted out of the Book of Life and not listed with the righteous.
29 A ja sam jadnik i bolnik - nek' me štiti tvoja pomoć, o Bože!
But I am in pain and distress; let Your salvation protect me, O God.
30 Božje ću ime hvaliti popijevkom, hvalit ću ga zahvalnicom.
I will praise God’s name in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving.
31 Bit će to milije Jahvi no bik žrtveni, milije nego junac s papcima i rozima.
And this will please the LORD more than an ox, more than a bull with horns and hooves.
32 Gledajte, ubogi, i radujte se, nek' vam oživi srce, svima koji Boga tražite.
The humble will see and rejoice. You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!
33 Jer siromahe Jahve čuje, on ne prezire sužanja svojih.
For the LORD listens to the needy and does not despise His captive people.
34 Neka ga hvale nebesa i zemlja, mora i sve što se u njima miče.
Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
35 Jer Bog će spasiti Sion - on će sagradit' gradove Judine - tu će oni stanovat', imati baštinu.
For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah, that they may dwell there and possess it.
36 Baštinit će ga potomci slugu njegovih; prebivat će u njemu oni što ljube ime Božje.
The descendants of His servants will inherit it, and those who love His name will settle in it.
