< Psalmi 83 >

1 Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!
Keep not you silence, O God: hold not your peace, and be not still, O God.
2 Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.
For, see, your enemies make a tumult: and they that hate you have lifted up the head.
3 Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.
They have taken crafty counsel against your people, and consulted against your hidden 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: they are confederate against you:
6 šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7 Gebal i Amon i Amalek, Filisteja sa stanovnicima Tira.
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 I Asirci se s njima udružiše, pružiše ruke potomcima Lotovim.
Assur also is joined with them: they have helped the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:
Do to them as to the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10 koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.
Which perished at Endor: 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 like Zeeb: yes, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12 koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13 Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.
O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14 Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,
As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire;
15 tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!
So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm.
16 Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!
Fill 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!
Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yes, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18 Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.
That men may know that you, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are the most high over all the earth.
