Psalmi 83
1 Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!
“A psalm of Asaph.” O God! keep not 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 roar, And they who hate thee lift up their heads.
3 Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.
For they form secret plots against thy people, And consult together against thy chosen ones.
4 Govore: “Dođite, zatrimo ih da ne budu narod, nek' se ime Izrael više ne spominje!”
“Come,” say they, “let us blot them out from the number of the nations, That the name of Israel may no more be remembered!”
5 Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:
With one consent they consult together, Against thee do they form a league, —
6 šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,
The tents 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.
The Assyrians also are joined with them; They lend their strength to the children of Lot.
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 Kison,
10 koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.
Who perished at Endor, And were trampled like dung to the earth.
11 K'o Oreb i Zeb neka budu knezovi njihovi, kao Zebah i Salmuna nek' budu sve vođe njihove
Make their chiefs like Oreb and Zeeb; Yea, all their princes as Zeba and Zalmunna!
12 koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”
Who say, “Let us seize on God's habitations!”
13 Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.
Make them, O my God! like whirling chaff; Like stubble before the wind!
14 Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,
As fire consumeth the forest, And as flame setteth the mountains in a blaze,
15 tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!
So pursue them with thy tempest, And terrify them with thy storm!
16 Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!
Cover 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 confounded! Yea, let them be put to shame, and perish!
18 Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.
That they may know that thy name alone is Jehovah; That thou art the Most High over all the earth.
