Psalmi 94
1 Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.
O LORD! thou God of vengeance! O thou God of vengeance! shine forth!
2 Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!
Rouse thyself, thou judge of the earth! Render a recompense to the proud!
3 Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?
How long, O LORD! shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?
How long shall their lips pour forth insolence? How long shall all the evil-doers boast?
5 Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;
O LORD! they trample upon thy people, And oppress thine inheritance!
6 kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju
They slay the widow, and the stranger, And murder the fatherless;
7 i govore: “Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!”
And they say, “The LORD doth not see, The God of Jacob doth not regard!”
8 Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?
Be instructed, ye most stupid of mankind! O when, ye fools, will ye be wise?
9 Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?
He that chastiseth nations, shall not he punish? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, That they are vanity.
12 Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:
Happy the man, O LORD! whom thou correctest, Whom by thy teaching thou makest wise;
13 da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.
To give him peace in the days of adversity, Until a pit be digged for the wicked!
14 Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;
For the LORD will not forsake his people, Nor abandon his own inheritance.
15 jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.
For judgment shall return to justice, And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?
17 Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.
If the LORD had not been my help, I had well nigh dwelt in the land of silence.
18 Čim pomislim: “Noga mi posrće”, dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.
When I think that my foot is slipping, Thy goodness, O LORD! holdeth me up.
19 Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.
In the multitude of anxieties within me, Thy consolations revive my soul.
20 Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?
Shall with thee be allied the throne of iniquity, Which deviseth mischief against law?
21 Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:
They band together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.
22 Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.
But the LORD is my fortress, And my God the rock of my refuge.
23 Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.
He will bring upon them their own iniquity; Yea, through their own wickedness he will cut them off; Yea, the LORD, our God, will cut them off.
