Psalms 31
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David according to an ecstasy. In you, Lord, I have hoped; let me never be confounded. In your justice, deliver me.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Tebi se, Jahve, utječem, o, da se ne postidim nikada: u svojoj me pravdi izbavi!
2 Incline your ear to me. Hasten to rescue me. Be for me a protector God and a house of refuge, so as to accomplish my salvation.
Prikloni k meni uho svoje, pohiti da me oslobodiš! Budi mi hrid zaštite, tvrđava spasenja.
3 For you are my strength and my refuge; and for the sake of your name, you will lead me and nourish me.
Jer ti si hrid moja, tvđava moja, radi svoga imena vodi me i ravnaj.
4 You will lead me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me. For you are my protector.
Izvuci me iz mreže koju mi zapeše, jer ti si moje utočište.
5 Into your hands, I commend my spirit. You have redeemed me, O Lord, God of truth.
U tvoje ruke duh svoj predajem: otkupi me, Jahve, Bože vjerni.
6 You have hated those who practice emptiness to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord.
Ti mrziš one koji štuju ništavne kumire, a ja se u Jahvu uzdam.
7 I will exult and rejoice in your mercy. For you have looked upon my humility; you have saved my soul from needfulness.
Radosno ću klicat' tvojoj milosti, jer si na moju bijedu pogledao, pomogao u tjeskobi duši mojoj.
8 And you have not enclosed me in the hands of the enemy. You have set my feet in a spacious place.
Nisi me predao u ruke dušmana, noge si mi na prostran put izveo.
9 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am troubled. My eye has been disturbed by wrath, along with my soul and my gut.
Smiluj mi se, Jahve, jer sam u tjeskobi, od jada slabi mi oko, duša i tijelo.
10 For my life has fallen into sorrow, and my years into sighing. My virtue has been weakened in poverty, and my bones have been disturbed.
Život mi se troši u gorčini, ljeta moja u jecanju. U muci mi se iscrpila snaga i kosti su moje klonule.
11 I have become a disgrace among all my enemies, and even more so to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. Those who catch sight of me, flee away from me.
Dušmanima svojim postao sam ruglo, susjedima podsmijeh, a znancima strašilo; koji me vide vani, bježe od mene.
12 I have become forgotten, like one dead to the heart. I have become like a damaged utensil.
Nestalo me k'o mrtvaca iz sjećanja ljudi, postadoh k'o razbijena posuda.
13 For I have heard the harsh criticism of many who linger in the area. While assembled together against me in that place, they deliberated on how to take away my life.
Čujem šaputanje mnogih, užas odasvud: sastaju se protiv mene i smišljaju kako da mi život oduzmu.
14 But I have hoped in you, O Lord. I said, “You are my God.”
A ja se, Jahve, u tebe uzdam; govorim: Ti si Bog moj!
15 My fate is in your hands. Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who are persecuting me.
U tvojoj je ruci sudbina moja: istrgni me iz ruke dušmana i onih koji me progone!
16 Shine your face upon your servant. Save me in your mercy.
Rasvijetli lice nad slugom svojim, po svojoj me dobroti spasi.
17 Do not let me be confounded, Lord, for I have called upon you. Let the impious be ashamed and be drawn down into Hell. (Sheol h7585)
Jahve, ne bilo me stid što tebe zazvah! Neka se postide zlotvori, nek' u Podzemlju zamuknu. (Sheol h7585)
18 May deceitful lips be silenced: those that speak iniquity against the just, in arrogance and in abusiveness.
Nek' zanijeme usne lažljive koje protiv pravednika govore drsko, oholo i prezirno.
19 How great is the multitude of your sweetness, O Lord, which you keep hidden for those who fear you, which you have perfected for those who hope in you, in the sight of the sons of men.
O, kako je velika, Jahve, tvoja dobrota, koju čuvaš za one koji te se boje, koju iskazuješ onima što se tebi utječu naočigled sinovima čovječjim.
20 You hide them in the concealment of your face, from the disturbance of men. You protect them in your tabernacle, from the contradiction of tongues.
Zaklanjaš ih štitom lica svoga od zavjera ljudskih; u šatoru svom ih skrivaš od jezika svadljivih.
21 Blessed is the Lord. For he has shown his wonderful mercy to me, in a fortified city.
Blagoslovljen Jahve jer me obasu čudesnom dobrotom u gradu tvrdom.
22 But I said in the excess of my mind: “I have been cast away from the glance of your eyes.” And so, you heeded the voice of my prayer, while I was still crying out to you.
U tjeskobi svojoj već mišljah: “Odbačen sam od pogleda tvoga.” Ali ti si čuo glas mog zaziva dok sam tebi vapio.
23 Love the Lord, all you his saints. For the Lord will require truth, and he will abundantly repay those who act with arrogance.
Ljubite Jahvu, svi sveti njegovi: čuva Jahve svoje vjernike, a po zasluzi vraća onima koji postupaju oholo.
24 Act manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all you who hope in the Lord.
Budite hrabri i jaka srca, svi koji se u Jahvu uzdate!
