Psalmi 83
1 Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!
A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
2 Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.
See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
3 Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.
With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
4 Govore: “Dođite, zatrimo ih da ne budu narod, nek' se ime Izrael više ne spominje!”
saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5 Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:
For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
6 šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Gebal i Amon i Amalek, Filisteja sa stanovnicima Tira.
of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
8 I Asirci se s njima udružiše, pružiše ruke potomcima Lotovim.
Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot.
9 Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:
Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
10 koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.
who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
11 K'o Oreb i Zeb neka budu knezovi njihovi, kao Zebah i Salmuna nek' budu sve vođe njihove
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”
who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
13 Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
14 Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,
As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!
so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
16 Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!
Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17 Neka se stide i plaše navijek, neka se posrame i neka izginu!
May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
18 Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.
May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
