Psalms 55
1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and despise not my supplication.
Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Počuj mi, Bože, molitvu, ne krij se molbi mojoj:
2 Be attentive to me, and heed me. I have been grieved in my training, and I have been disturbed
obazri se na me i usliši me! Mučim se u svojoj tjeskobi,
3 at the voice of the adversary and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have diverted iniquities toward me, and they have been harassing me with rage.
zbuni me vika dušmanska i tlačenje grešničko. Navališe na me nesrećom, bijesno me progone.
4 My heart has become disturbed within me, and the dread of death has fallen over me.
Srce mi je ustreptalo i strah me samrtni spopade.
5 Fear and trembling have overwhelmed me, and darkness has buried me.
Užas me i trepet hvata, groza me obuze.
6 And I said, “Who will give me wings like the dove, so that I may fly away and take rest?”
Zavapih: “O, da su mi krila golubinja, odletio bih da otpočinem!
7 Behold, I have fled far away, and I linger in solitude.
Daleko, daleko bih letio, u pustinji se nastanio;
8 I waited for him who saved me from a weak-minded spirit and from a tempest.
brzo bih si potražio sklonište od bijesne oluje i vihora.”
9 Cast them down, O Lord, and divide their tongues. For I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
Smeti ih, Gospode, podvoji im jezike, jer nasilje i svađu vidim u gradu;
10 Day and night, iniquity will surround it upon its walls, and hardship is in its midst,
danju i noću zidinama kruže; bezakonja su i nevolje u njemu.
11 with injustice. And usury and deceit have not fallen away from its streets.
Usred njega zasjede, s ulica mu nepravda i podlost ne odlaze.
12 For if my enemy had spoken evil about me, certainly, I would have sustained it. And if he who hated me had been speaking great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
Da me pogrdio dušmanin, bio bih podnio; da se digao na me koji me mrzi, pred njim bih se sakrio.
13 Truly, you are a man of one mind: my leader and my acquaintance,
Ali ti, ti si to bio, meni jednak, prijatelj moj, moj pouzdanik
14 who took sweet food together with me. In the house of God, we walked side-by-side.
s kojim sam slatko drugovao i složno hodismo u Domu Božjemu.
15 Let death come upon them, and let them descend alive into Hellfire. For there is wickedness in their dwellings, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
Smrt neka ih zaskoči, živi nek' siđu u Podzemlje jer im je pakost u stanu i srcu. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I have cried out to God, and the Lord will save me.
A ja ću Boga prizvati, i Jahve će me spasiti.
17 Evening and morning and midday, I will discourse and announce, and he will heed my voice.
Večerom, jutrom i o podne tužan ću jecati, i on će čuti vapaj moj.
18 He will redeem my soul in peace from those who draw near to me. For, among the many, they were with me.
Dat će mi mira od onih koji me progone: jer mnogi su protiv mene.
19 God will hear, and He who is before time will humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God.
Bog će čuti i njih poniziti, Onaj koji kraljuje odvijeka, jer se ne popravljaju, Boga se ne boje.
20 He has stretched forth his hand in retribution. They have contaminated his covenant.
Podižu ruke na prijatelje, savez svoj oskvrnjuju.
21 They were divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart has drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and they are arrows.
Usta su im glađa od maslaca, a srce ratoborno; riječi blaže od ulja, a oni - isukani mačevi.
22 Cast your cares upon the Lord, and he will nurture you. He will not allow the just to be tossed about forever.
Povjeri Jahvi svu svoju brigu, i on će te pokrijepiti: neće dati da ikada posrne pravednik.
23 Truly, O God, you will lead them away into the well of death. Bloody and deceitful men will not divide their days in half. But I will hope in you, O Lord.
A njih ti, o Bože, strmoglavi u jamu grobnu! Krvoloci i varalice ni polovicu dana neće doživjeti! A ja se u tebe uzdam!
