Psalmi 69
1 Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ljiljani”. Davidov. Spasi me, Bože: vode mi dođoše do grla!
O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
2 U duboko blato zapadoh i nemam kamo nogu staviti; u duboku tonem vodu, pokrivaju me valovi.
I continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around me.
3 Iznemogoh od vikanja, grlo mi je promuklo, oči mi klonuše Boga mog čekajuć'.
I am exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
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 when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
5 Bože, ti znadeš bezumnost moju, moji ti grijesi nisu sakriti.
O God, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
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!
O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
7 Jer zbog tebe podnesoh pogrdu, i stid mi pokri lice.
People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
8 Tuđinac postadoh braći i stranac djeci majke svoje.
Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
9 Jer me izjela revnost za Dom tvoj i poruge onih koji se rugaju tebi padoše na me.
[Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting me.
10 Dušu sam postom mučio, okrenulo mi se u ruglo.
When I have humbled myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
11 Uzeh kostrijet za haljinu, i postah im igračka.
When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
12 Koji sjede na vratima protiv mene govore, vinopije mi rugalice poju.
Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
13 No tebi se molim, Jahve, u vrijeme milosti, Bože; po velikoj dobroti svojoj ti me usliši po svojoj vjernoj pomoći!
But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
14 Izvuci me iz blata da ne potonem, od onih koji me mrze izbavi me - iz voda dubokih.
Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep waters!
15 Nek' me ne pokriju valovi, nek' me ne proguta dubina, nek' bezdan ne zatvori usta nada mnom!
Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].
16 Usliši me, Jahve, jer je dobrostiva milost tvoja, po velikom milosrđu pogledaj na me!
O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
17 Ne sakrivaj lica pred slugom svojim; jer sam u stisci, usliši me brzo!
Do not (hide yourself from/refuse to hear) me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
18 Približi se duši mojoj i spasi je; zbog dušmana mojih oslobodi me!
Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
19 Ti mi znadeš porugu, stid i sramotu, pred tvojim su očima svi koji me muče.
You know that I am insulted and that [people cause] me [to feel] ashamed and dishonored; you know [who] all my enemies [are].
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.
[Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
21 U jelo mi žuči umiješaše, u mojoj me žeđi octom napojiše.
[Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
22 Nek' im stol bude zamka, a žrtvene gozbe stupica!
I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
23 Nek' im potamne oči da ne vide, nek' im bokovi zasvagda oslabe!
I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
24 Izlij na njih ljutinu, žar tvoga gnjeva nek' ih zahvati!
Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
25 Njihova kuća nek' opusti, u njihovu šatoru nek' nitko ne stanuje!
Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
26 Jer su progonili koga ti pokara, bol povećaše onomu koga ti rani.
[Do this] because they persecute those whom you have punished, (they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more) those whom you have wounded.
27 Na njihovu krivnju krivnju još dodaj, ne opravdali se pred tobom!
Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them [for the evil things that they have done].
28 Nek' budu izbrisani iz knjige živih, među pravednike neka se ne broje!
Erase their names [SYN] from the book [containing the names of those who have eternal] life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
29 A ja sam jadnik i bolnik - nek' me štiti tvoja pomoć, o Bože!
As for me, I have pain and am suffering. O God, protect me and rescue me.
30 Božje ću ime hvaliti popijevkom, hvalit ću ga zahvalnicom.
When God does that, I will sing as I praise God, and I will honor him by thanking him.
31 Bit će to milije Jahvi no bik žrtveni, milije nego junac s papcima i rozima.
My doing that will please Yahweh more than [sacrificing] oxen, more than offering him full-grown bulls.
32 Gledajte, ubogi, i radujte se, nek' vam oživi srce, svima koji Boga tražite.
Oppressed/Afflicted people will see [that God has rescued me], and they will be glad. I want all of you who ask God [to help you] to be encouraged.
