Psalms 55
1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Počuj mi, Bože, molitvu, ne krij se molbi mojoj:
2 Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud,
obazri se na me i usliši me! Mučim se u svojoj tjeskobi,
3 Because of the voice of the enemy; because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
zbuni me vika dušmanska i tlačenje grešničko. Navališe na me nesrećom, bijesno me progone.
4 My heart is writhing within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Srce mi je ustreptalo i strah me samrtni spopade.
5 Fear and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Užas me i trepet hvata, groza me obuze.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest;
Zavapih: “O, da su mi krila golubinja, odletio bih da otpočinem!
7 Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; (Selah)
Daleko, daleko bih letio, u pustinji se nastanio;
8 I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.
brzo bih si potražio sklonište od bijesne oluje i vihora.”
9 Swallow [them] up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Smeti ih, Gospode, podvoji im jezike, jer nasilje i svađu vidim u gradu;
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.
danju i noću zidinama kruže; bezakonja su i nevolje u njemu.
11 Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.
Usred njega zasjede, s ulica mu nepravda i podlost ne odlaze.
12 For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me — then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified [himself] against me — then would I 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 But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. ...
Ali ti, ti si to bio, meni jednak, prijatelj moj, moj pouzdanik
14 We who held sweet intercourse together. To the house of God we walked amid the throng.
s kojim sam slatko drugovao i složno hodismo u Domu Božjemu.
15 Let death seize upon them, let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is 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 As for me, unto God will I call; and Jehovah will save me.
A ja ću Boga prizvati, i Jahve će me spasiti.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray and moan aloud; and he will hear my voice.
Večerom, jutrom i o podne tužan ću jecati, i on će čuti vapaj moj.
18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.
Dat će mi mira od onih koji me progone: jer mnogi su protiv mene.
19 God will hear, and afflict them: he that is seated of old, (Selah) ...because there is no change in them, and they fear not God.
Bog će čuti i njih poniziti, Onaj koji kraljuje odvijeka, jer se ne popravljaju, Boga se ne boje.
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
Podižu ruke na prijatelje, savez svoj oskvrnjuju.
21 Smooth were the milky [words] of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
Usta su im glađa od maslaca, a srce ratoborno; riječi blaže od ulja, a oni - isukani mačevi.
22 Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Povjeri Jahvi svu svoju brigu, i on će te pokrijepiti: neće dati da ikada posrne pravednik.
23 And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.
A njih ti, o Bože, strmoglavi u jamu grobnu! Krvoloci i varalice ni polovicu dana neće doživjeti! A ja se u tebe uzdam!
