Psalms 10
1 Why do thou stand afar off, O Jehovah? Why do thou hide thyself in times of trouble?
Zakaj bivaš v daljavi, Gospod! zakaj se skrivaš v časih, ko smo v stiski?
2 In the pride of the wicked man the poor man is hotly pursued. Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
Prevzetnost krivičnega hudo straši siromaka ubozega; zgrabijo se naj v naklepih, katere izmišljajo.
3 For the wicked man boasts of his heart's desire. And the greedy man renounces, yea, despises Jehovah.
Ker krivični hvali dušo svojo v njenem hrepenenji, in njega, ki išče dobička, blagoslavlja, draži Gospoda.
4 The wicked man, in the pride of his countenance, says, He will not require it. All his thoughts are, There is no God.
Krivični v napuhu svojega obraza: On ne kaznuje, ni Boga, té so vse misli njegove.
5 His ways are profane at all times. Thy judgments are far above out of his sight. As for all his adversaries, he puffs at them.
Varna so pota njegova v vsakem času; previsoko so pogledu njegovemu sodbe tvoje: kateri koli so sovražniki njegovi, vanje piha žarjavico.
6 He says in his heart, I shall not be moved. To all generations I shall not be in adversity.
V srci svojem govori: Ne umaknem se, v nobeni dobi ne bodem v nesreči.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Preklinjanja polna so usta njegova in zvijač in goljufije; pod jezikom njegovim je nadlega in ničemurnost.
8 He sits in the lurking-places of the villages. In the covert places he murders the innocent man. His eyes are secretly set against the poor man.
Poseda v votlini vašî, v zatišji, da bi ubil nedolžnega; oči njegove se skrivajo zoper onemoglega.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his covert. He lies in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net.
V zatišji preži, kakor lev v svojem brlogu; preži, da zgrabi siromaka ubozega; zgrabil bi rad siromaka ubozega, potegnil ga v mrežo svojo.
10 He crouches, he bows down, and helpless men fall by his strong men.
Sklujči se, potuhne se; in s krepkimi udi svojimi se zgrudi, kakor da so onemogli.
11 He says in his heart, God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.
V srci svojem govori: Pozabil je Bog mogočni; obličje svoje skriva, ne ozré se nikoli.
12 Arise, O Jehovah, O God, lift up thy hand. Do not forget the poor.
Vstani, Gospod, Bog mogočni, dvigni roko svojo; ne pozabi siromakov ubozih.
13 Why does the wicked man despise God, and say in his heart, Thou will not require it?
Zakaj draži krivični Boga? v srci svojem govori, da ne bodeš térjal?
14 Thou have seen. For thou behold mischief and spite, to repay with thy hand. The poor man commits himself to thee. Thou have been the helper of the fatherless.
Zazdelo se je tebi, ko gledaš nadlego in gorjé, vzeti jih v roko svojo; brambi tvoji se izroča onemogli; siroti si tí pomočnik.
15 Break thou the arm of the sinner and the evil man. His wickedness shall be sought, and shall not be found.
Zdrôbi roko krivičnemu in hudobnemu; preiskuj krivico njegovo, dokler je ne najdeš več.
16 Jehovah is King forever and ever. The nations have perished out of his land.
Gospod je kralj večni; poginili so narodi sè zemlje njegove.
17 Jehovah, thou have heard the desire of the humble. Thou will prepare their heart, thou will cause thine ear to hear,
Hrepenenje krotkih si uslišal, Gospod; potolaži tem srce, nagni svoje uho,
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may no more be terrible.
Maščujoč siroto in siromaka, da ga ne bode dalje izganjal človek silovito iz dežele.
