Psalms 94
1 O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.
Oh Gospod Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, oh Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, pokaži se.
2 Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.
Dvigni se, ti sodnik zemlje; povrni nagrado ponosnim.
3 How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?
Gospod, doklej bodo zlobni, doklej bodo zlobni slavili zmago?
4 Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.
Kako dolgo bodo izgovarjali in govorili trde stvari in se bahali vsi delavci krivičnosti?
5 Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
Tvoje ljudstvo razbijajo na koščke, oh Gospod in prizadevajo tvojo dediščino.
6 They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
Ubijajo vdovo in tujca in morijo osirotele.
7 And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
Vendar pravijo: » Gospod nas ne bo videl niti Bog Jakobov tega ne bo upošteval.«
8 Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
Razumite, vi brutalni izmed ljudstva, in vi bedaki, kdaj boste modri?
9 Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?
Kdor je zasadil uho, da ne bi slišal? Kdor je oblikoval oko, da ne bi videl?
10 He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?
Kdor kaznuje pogane, da ne bi grajal? Kdor uči človeka spoznanja, da ne bi vedel?
11 The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.
Gospod pozna človekove misli, da so le-te ničevost.
12 Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ga karaš, oh Gospod in ga učiš iz svoje postave,
13 So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.
da mu lahko daš počitek od dni nadloge, dokler ni izkopana jama za zlobnega.
14 The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;
Kajti Gospod ne bo zavrgel svojega ljudstva niti ne bo zapustil svoje dediščine.
15 But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.
Toda sodba se bo vrnila k pravičnosti in vsi iskreni v srcu ji bodo sledili.
16 Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?
Kdo se bo zame dvignil zoper hudodelce? Ali kdo bo zame vstal zoper delavce krivičnosti?
17 If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.
Če Gospod ne bi bil moja pomoč, bi moja duša skoraj prebivala v tišini.
18 If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
Ko sem rekel: »Moje stopalo zdrsuje, me je podpiralo tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod.
19 Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
V množici mojih misli znotraj mene tvoje tolažbe razveseljujejo mojo dušo.
20 What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
Mar bo prestol krivičnosti, ki z uzakonitvijo snuje vragolijo, imel družbo s teboj?
21 They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
Skupaj se zbirajo zoper dušo pravičnega in obsojajo nedolžno kri.
22 But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
Toda Gospod je moja obramba in moj Bog je skala mojega zatočišča.
23 And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
Nadnje bo privedel njihovo lastno krivičnost in odsekal jih bo v njihovi lastni zlobnosti; da, Gospod, naš Bog, jih bo odsekal.
