< Psalms 116 >
1 I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.
Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call [upon him] as long as I live.
uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
3 The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol )
Užeta smrti sapeše me, stegoše me zamke Podzemlja, snašla me muka i tjeskoba. (Sheol )
4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
5 Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.
Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
6 Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; For Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, [And] my feet from falling.
On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
9 I will walk before Jehovah In the land of the living.
Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
10 I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:
Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
12 What shall I render unto Jehovah For all his benefits toward me?
Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of Jehovah.
Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
14 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people.
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah Is the death of his saints.
Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
16 O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant: I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bonds.
Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of Jehovah.
Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
18 I will pay my vows unto Jehovah, Yea, in the presence of all his people,
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
19 In the courts of Jehovah’s house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
