< Psalms 94 >

1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!
3 How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?
4 They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?
5 They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;
6 They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju
7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
i govore: “Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!”
8 Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?
9 He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?
10 He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.
12 Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:
13 to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.
14 For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;
15 Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?
17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.
18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
Čim pomislim: “Noga mi posrće”, dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.
19 When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.
20 Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?
21 They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:
22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.
23 He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.
