Psalms 74
1 [A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Therefore have you rejected [us], O God, for ever? [therefore] is your wrath kindled against the sheep of your pasture?
Poučna pjesma. Asafova. Zašto si, Bože, posve zabacio, zašto kiptiš gnjevom na ovce paše svoje?
2 Remember your congregation which you have purchased from the beginning; you did ransom the rod of your inheritance; this mount Sion wherein you have lived.
Sjeti se zajednice koju si davno stekao, plÓemena koje namače kao svoju baštinu i brda Siona gdje si Šator svoj udario!
3 Lift up your hands against their pride continually; [because of] all that the enemy has done wickedly in your holy places.
Korakni k ruševinama vječnim - sve je u Svetištu razorio neprijatelj.
4 And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your feast; they have set up their standards for signs,
Protivnici tvoji vikahu posred skupštine tvoje, znakove svoje postaviše k'o pobjedne znakove.
5 ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
Bijahu kao oni koji mašu sjekirom po guštari,
6 they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
sjekirom i maljem vrata mu razbijali.
7 They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name.
Ognju predadoše Svetište tvoje, do zemlje oskvrnuše Prebivalište tvoga imena.
8 They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
Rekoše u srcu: “Istrijebimo ih zajedno; spalite sva svetišta Božja na zemlji!”
9 We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more.
Ne vidimo znakova svojih, proroka više nema, i nitko među nama ne zna dokle ...
10 How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke your name forever?
Dokle će se još, o Bože, dušmanin rugati? Hoće li protivnik dovijeka prezirati ime tvoje?
11 Therefore turn you away your hand, and your right hand from the midst of your bosom for ever?
Zašto povlačiš ruku, zašto u krilu sakrivaš desnicu svoju?
12 But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
No Bog je moj kralj od davnine, on koji posred zemlje spasava!
13 You did establish the sea, in your might, you did break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water.
Ti svojom silom rasječe more, smrska glave nakazama u vodi.
14 You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon; you did give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations.
Ti si Levijatanu glave zdrobio, dao ga za hranu nemanima morskim.
15 You did cleave fountains and torrents; you dried up mighty rivers.
Ti si dao da provre izvor i bujica, ti si presušio rijeke nepresušne.
16 The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.
Tvoj je dan i noć je tvoja, ti učvrsti mjesec i sunce;
17 You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring.
ti sazda sve granice zemlji, ti stvori ljeto i zimu.
18 Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name.
Spomeni se ovoga: dušmanin ti se rugaše, Jahve, i bezumni narod pogrdi ime tvoje.
19 Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to you: forget not for ever the souls of your poor.
Ne predaj jastrebu život grlice svoje, i život svojih siromaha ne zaboravi zauvijek!
20 Look upon your covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.
Pogledaj na Savez svoj, jer svi su zakuci zemlje puni tmina i nasilja.
21 let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise your name.
Ne daj da jadnik otiđe postiđen: neka siromah i ubog hvale ime tvoje!
22 Arise, O God, plead your cause: remember your reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.
Ustani, Bože, zauzmi se za svoju parnicu, spomeni se pogrde koju ti bezumnik svaki dan nanosi.
23 Forget not the voice of your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate you continually ascend before you.
Ne zaboravi vike neprijatelja svojih: buka buntovnika još se diže k tebi!
