Psalms 73
1 A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
Psalm Asafov. Dá, dober je Bog Izraelu, čistim v srci.
2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
Jaz pa, malo da se niso izpotaknile noge moje, skoraj nič, da niso izpodrsnili koraki moji,
3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Ko sem zavidal blazne, gledal krivičnih blagostanje,
4 They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
Ker ni ga vozla notri do njih smrti, temuč tolsta je njih moč.
5 They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
V trudu človeškem niso, in z drugimi ljudmi ne tepó jih nadloge.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
Zatorej jih obdajajo prevzetnosti verige, pokriva jih kakor dika silovitost.
7 From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
Svétiti se jim od tolšče obé očesi, kipé misli srčne.
8 They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
Kužni so, in hudobno govoré zatiranje, in z višave govoré.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
V nebo dvigajo usta svoja, in jezik njih prehaja zemljo.
10 So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
Zatorej se vrača sem ljudstvo njegovo, ko se čaše, vode polne, iztiskajo jim,
11 The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
Da pravijo: Kako bi poznal Bog mogočni? ali bi bilo znanje v višavi?
12 Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
Glej tiste krivične, kako mirni vekomaj množijo močí.
13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
Vendar zastonj čistim svoje srce, in v snagi umivam rok svoje;
14 For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
Ko me tepe vsak dan, in pokora moja mi je gotova vsako jutro.
15 If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
Ako rečem: Pravil bodem to; glej, izdajalec bi bil zarodu tvojih sinov.
16 When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
Ako bi mislil spoznati to, težavno se mi je zdelo v mojih očéh;
17 until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
Dokler sem stopil v svetišča Boga mogočnega, zagledal njih konec.
18 Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
Ali na polzlo jih staviš, mečeš jih dol v podrtije.
19 How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
Kako ginejo v zapuščenost, kakor v hipu minejo, konec jih je v grozah.
20 Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
Kakor sanje, ko se je zbudil kdo: Bog, ko se zbudiš, zaničuješ njih podobo.
21 When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
Ko se razdraži srce moje, in ko sem se v ledvicah svojih samega zbadal,
22 I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
Tedaj sem bil brezpameten, ko nisem vedel: kakor živina bil sem pri tebi.
23 Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
Zatorej bodem jaz vedno s teboj; prijel si roko desno mojo.
24 You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
Sè sovetom svojim me spremljaj, da me potem v slavo sprejmeš.
25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
Kdo bi mi bil v nebesih razen tebe? in razen tebe se nikogar ne veselim na zemlji.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Ko peša meso moje in srce moje, skala srca mojega in delež moj je Bog vekomaj.
27 Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
Ker glej, kateri so daleč od tebe, ginejo; pokončaš ga, kdor koli se s prešestvovanjem izneveri tebi.
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.
Meni torej je dobro, da sem blizu Bogu; v Gospoda stavim svoje pribežališče, da oznanjam vsa dela tvoja.
