Psalmi 83
1 Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!
“A song or psalm of Assaph.” O God, take no rest for thyself: be not silent and keep not still, O God!
2 Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.
For, lo, thy enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up their head.
3 Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.
Against thy people they take crafty secret device, and they consult against those whom thou protectest.
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; and the name of Israel shall be remembered no more.
5 Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:
For they have consulted cordially together; against thee they make a covenant:
6 šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,
The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites: 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.
Also Asshur is joined with them; they have become an arm unto the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:
Do unto them as [unto] Midian; as to Sissera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon:
10 koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.
Who were annihilated at 'En-dor; they became as dung for the ground.
11 K'o Oreb i Zeb neka budu knezovi njihovi, kao Zebah i Salmuna nek' budu sve vođe njihove
Render them, their nobles, like 'Oreb, and like Zeeb; yea, like Zebach and like Zalmunna' all their princes;
12 koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”
Who said, Let us conquer for ourselves the dwellings of God,
13 Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.
O my God, render them like the thistle-down, like stubble before the wind.
14 Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,
As the fire burneth up a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire:
15 tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!
So pursue them with thy storm, and with thy whirlwind do thou terrify them.
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 made ashamed and terrified for ever and aye; yea, let them be put to the blush and perish:
18 Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.
That they may know that thou, whose name is the Eternal, art by thyself alone, the Most High over all the earth.
