< Psalms 116 >
1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.
Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. (Sheol )
Užeta smrti sapeše me, stegoše me zamke Podzemlja, snašla me muka i tjeskoba. (Sheol )
4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.
Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
10 Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled.
Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
11 I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.”
U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
12 What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me?
Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
13 I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
14 I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people.
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones.
Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
16 O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds.
Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
17 I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord.
Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
18 I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people,
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.
u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
