Psalms 73
1 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
Resnično, Bog je dober do Izraela, torej tistim, ki so čistega srca.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
Toda kar se mene tiče, so moja stopala skoraj odšla, moji koraki so malodane spodrsnili.
3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Kajti bil sem nevoščljiv nad nespametnimi, ko sem videl uspevanje zlobnih.
4 They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
Kajti v njihovi smrti ni vezi, vendar je njihova moč trdna.
5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
Niso v stiski, kakor drugi ljudje niti niso trpinčeni kakor drugi ljudje.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
Zato jih ošabnost obdaja naokoli kakor veriga, nasilje jih pokriva kakor obleka.
7 From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
Njihove oči izstopajo z mastnostjo. Imajo več, kot si lahko želi srce.
8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
Izprijeni so in glede zatiranja govorijo zlobno, govorijo vzvišeno.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
Svoja usta postavljajo zoper nebesa in njihov jezik hodi po zemlji.
10 So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
Zato se njegovo ljudstvo vrača sèm in iztisnjene so jim polne čaše vode.
11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
Pravijo: »Kako Bog ve? In ali je znanje v Najvišjem?«
12 Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
Glej, to so brezbožni, ki uspevajo v svetu, povečujejo se v bogastvih.
13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
Resnično sem zaman očistil svoje srce in svoje roke umil v nedolžnosti.
14 For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
Kajti ves dan sem bil trpinčen in kaznovan vsako jutro.
15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
Če rečem: »Govoril bom na ta način, « glej, bi se pregrešil zoper rod tvojih otrok.
16 When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
Ko sem premišljeval, da to spoznam, je bilo zame preveč boleče,
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
dokler nisem odšel v Božje svetišče, potem sem razumel njihov konec.
18 Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
Zagotovo si jih postavil na spolzke kraje, podiraš jih v uničenje.
19 How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
Kako so v hipu privedeni v opustošenje! Popolnoma so použiti s strahotami.
20 Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
Kakor sanje, ko se nekdo zbudi; tako boš, oh Gospod, ko se zbudiš, preziral njihovo podobo.
21 When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
Tako je bilo moje srce užaloščeno in v svoji notranjosti sem bil zboden.
22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
Tako nespameten sem bil in neveden. Pred teboj sem bil kakor žival.
23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
Kljub temu sem nenehno s teboj. Prijel si me za mojo desnico.
24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
Usmerjal me boš s svojim nasvetom in potem me sprejmi v slavo.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
Koga imam v nebesih razen tebe? In nikogar ni na zemlji, ki si ga želim poleg tebe.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Moje meso in moje srce odpovedujeta, toda Bog je moč mojega srca in moj delež na veke.
27 Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
Kajti glej, tisti, ki so daleč od tebe, se bodo pogubili. Uničil si vse tiste, ki z vlačuganjem gredo od tebe.
28 But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.
Toda zame je dobro, da se približam Bogu. Svoje trdno upanje sem položil v Gospoda Boga, da bom lahko oznanjal vsa tvoja dela.
