Psalms 83
1 A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!
2 See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.
3 With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.
4 saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
Govore: “Dođite, zatrimo ih da ne budu narod, nek' se ime Izrael više ne spominje!”
5 For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:
6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,
7 of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
Gebal i Amon i Amalek, Filisteja sa stanovnicima Tira.
8 Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot.
I Asirci se s njima udružiše, pružiše ruke potomcima Lotovim.
9 Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:
10 who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
K'o Oreb i Zeb neka budu knezovi njihovi, kao Zebah i Salmuna nek' budu sve vođe njihove
12 who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”
13 Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.
14 As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,
15 so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!
16 Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!
17 May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
Neka se stide i plaše navijek, neka se posrame i neka izginu!
18 May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.
