< Psalmi 83 >

1 Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
3 Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.
They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
4 Govore: “Dođite, zatrimo ih da ne budu narod, nek' se ime Izrael više ne spominje!”
They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
5 Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:
For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
6 šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal i Amon i Amalek, Filisteja sa stanovnicima Tira.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 I Asirci se s njima udružiše, pružiše ruke potomcima Lotovim.
Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:
Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
10 koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.
Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
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 like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
12 koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”
Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
13 Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
14 Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
15 tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!
So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
16 Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
17 Neka se stide i plaše navijek, neka se posrame i neka izginu!
Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
18 Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.
That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
