< Psalmi 83 >

1 Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!
A song, a psalm of Asaph. Do not keep silent, O God: hold not your peace, be not still, God.
2 Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.
For see! Your enemies roar, those who hate you lift up their heads,
3 Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.
laying crafty plans for your people, and plotting against those you treasure.
4 Govore: “Dođite, zatrimo ih da ne budu narod, nek' se ime Izrael više ne spominje!”
‘Come, let us wipe them out as a nation, so Israel’s name will be mentioned no more.’
5 Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:
For, conspiring with one accord, they have made a league against you
6 šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,
Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites.
7 Gebal i Amon i Amalek, Filisteja sa stanovnicima Tira.
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre;
8 I Asirci se s njima udružiše, pružiše ruke potomcima Lotovim.
Syria, too, is confederate, they have strengthened the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:
Deal with them as you dealt with Midian, with Sisera, with Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon,
10 koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.
who at Endor were destroyed, and became dung for the field.
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, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”
who said, ‘Let us take for ourselves the meadows of God.’
13 Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.
Whirl them, my God, like dust, like stubble before the wind.
14 Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,
As the fire that kindles the forest, as flame that sets mountains ablaze,
15 tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!
so with your tempest pursue them, terrify them with your hurricane.
16 Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!
Make them blush with shame; until they seek your name, O Lord.
17 Neka se stide i plaše navijek, neka se posrame i neka izginu!
Everlasting shame and confusion, disgrace and destruction be theirs.
18 Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.
Teach those who you alone are most high over all the earth.
