Psalms 55
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
Pazljivo prisluhni moji molitvi, oh Bog in ne skrij se pred mojo ponižno prošnjo.
2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
Prisluhni mi in me usliši. V svoji pritožbi žalujem in zganjam hrup
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
zaradi glasu sovražnika, zaradi zatiranja zlobnega, kajti name mečejo krivičnost in z besom me sovražijo.
4 My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
Moje srce znotraj mene je boleče zaskrbljeno in strahote smrti so padle name.
5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Strah in trepet sta prišla name in groza me je preplavila.
6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
Rekel sem: »Oh da bi imel peruti kakor golobica! Kajti potem bi odletel proč in bi bil miren.
7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
Glej, potem bi odtaval daleč proč in ostal v divjini. (Sela)
8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
Pospešil bi svoj pobeg pred vetrovnim viharjem in neurjem.«
9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
Uniči, oh Gospod in razdeli njihove jezike, kajti videl sem nasilje in prepir v mestu.
10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
Dan in noč hodijo okrog po njegovih zidovih. Tudi vragolija in bridkost sta v njegovi sredi.
11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
Zlobnost je v njegovi sredi. Prevara in zvijača ne odideta iz njegovih ulic.
12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
Kajti ni bil sovražnik, ki me je grajal, potem bi to lahko prenesel. Niti ni bil, kdor me je sovražil, ki se je poveličal zoper mene, potem bi se skril pred njim.
13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
Toda bil si ti, človek, moj vrstnik, moj vodnik in moj znanec.
14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
Skupaj sva imela prijetno namero in družno hodila v Božjo hišo.
15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. (Sheol h7585)
Naj se jih polasti smrt in naj hitro gredo dol v pekel, kajti zlobnost je v njihovih bivališčih in med njimi. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
Kar se mene tiče, bom klical k Bogu in Gospod me bo rešil.
17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
Zvečer, zjutraj in opoldan bom molil in glasno vpil. Slišal bo moj glas.
18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
V miru je osvobodil mojo dušo pred bitko, ki je bila zoper mene, kajti mnogo jih je bilo z menoj.
19 God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
Bog bo slišal in jih prizadel, celó on, ki ostaja od davnine. (Sela) Ker nimajo sprememb, zato se ne bojijo Boga.
20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
Svoje roke je iztegnil zoper tiste, ki so v miru z njim; prelomil je svojo zavezo.
21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
Besede iz njegovih ust so bile bolj gladke kakor maslo, toda v njegovem srcu je bila vojna. Njegove besede so bile mehkejše kakor olje, čeprav so bile izvlečeni meči.
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
Svoje breme vrzi na Gospoda in on te bo podpiral. Nikoli ne bo dopustil, da bi bil pravični omajan.
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
Toda ti, oh Bog, jih boš zrušil v jamo uničenja. Krvoločni in varljivi ljudje ne bodo preživeli polovice svojih dni, jaz pa bom zaupal vate.
