Psalms 50
1 A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.
Psalam. Asafov. Bog nad bogovima, Jahve, govori i zove zemlju od izlaza sunčeva do zalaza.
2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
Sa Siona predivnog Bog zablista:
3 Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.
Bog naš dolazi i ne šuti. Pred njim ide oganj što proždire, oko njega silna bjesni oluja.
4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:
On zove nebesa odozgo i zemlju da sudi narodu svojemu:
5 “Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
“Saberite mi sve pobožnike koji žrtvom Savez sa mnom sklopiše!”
6 And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.
Nebesa objavljuju pravednost njegovu: on je Bog sudac!
7 “Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
“Slušaj, narode moj, ja ću govoriti, o Izraele, svjedočit ću protiv tebe: ja, Bog - Bog tvoj!
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
Ne korim te zbog žrtava tvojih - paljenice su tvoje svagda preda mnom.
9 I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,
Neću od doma tvog' uzet junca, ni jaraca iz tvojih torova:
10 for every beast of the forest is Mine— the cattle on a thousand hills.
tÓa moje su sve životinje šumske, tisuće zvjeradi u gorama mojim.
11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.
Znam sve ptice nebeske, moje je sve što se miče u poljima.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.
Kad bih ogladnio, ne bih ti rekao, jer moja je zemlja i sve što je ispunja.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
Zar da ja jedem meso bikova ili da pijem krv jaraca?
14 Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
Prinesi Bogu žrtvu zahvalnu, ispuni Višnjemu zavjete svoje!
15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
I zazovi me u dan tjeskobe: oslobodit ću te, a ti ćeš me slaviti.”
16 To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
A grešniku Bog progovara: “Što tumačiš naredbe moje, što mećeš u usta Savez moj?
17 For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.
Ti, komu stega ne prija, te riječi moje iza leđa bacaš?
18 When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
Kad tata vidiš, s njime se bratimiš i družiš se s preljubnicima.
19 You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit.
Svoja si usta predao pakosti, a jezik ti plete prijevare.
20 You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.
U društvu na brata govoriš i kaljaš sina matere svoje.
21 You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
Sve si to činio, a ja da šutim? Zar misliš da sam ja tebi sličan? Pokarat ću te i stavit ću ti sve to pred oči.”
22 Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
Shvatite ovo svi vi koji Boga zaboraviste, da vas ne pograbim i nitko vas spasiti neće.
23 He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
Pravo me štuje onaj koji prinosi žrtvu zahvalnu: i onomu koji hodi stazama pravim - njemu ću pokazati spasenje svoje.
