Psalms 68
1 To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
Zborovođi. Davidov. Psalam. Pjesma. Bog nek' ustane! Razbježali se dušmani njegovi! Svi mrzitelji njegovi pobjegli pred njim!
2 As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
Kao što dim iščezava, i njih neka nestane! Kako se vosak topi na ognju, nek' nestane grešnika pred licem Božjim!
3 But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
Pravedni neka se raduju, neka klikću pred Bogom, neka kliču od radosti.
4 Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.
Pjevajte Bogu, slavite mu ime! Poravnajte put onome koji ide pustinjom - kojemu je ime Jahve - i kličite pred njim!
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Otac sirota, branitelj udovica, Bog je u svom svetom šatoru.
6 God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched [land].
Napuštene okućit će Jahve, sužnjima pružit' sretnu slobodu: buntovnici samo ostaše u sažganoj pustinji.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness (Selah)
Kad si stupao, Bože, pred narodom svojim, dok si prolazio pustinjom,
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
tresla se zemlja, nebo se rosilo pred Bogom, Sinaj drhtao pred Bogom, Bogom Izraela.
9 Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
Blagoslovljen dažd pustio si, Bože, na baštinu svoju, okrijepio je umornu.
10 Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!
Stado se tvoje nastani u njoj, u dobroti, Bože, ti je spremi siromahu.
11 The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
Jahve riječ zadaje, veliko je mnoštvo radosnih vjesnika:
12 Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
kraljevi vojska bježe te bježe, domaćice plijen dijele.
13 Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
Dok vi počivaste među stadima, krila golubice zablistaše srebrom, a njeno perje žućkastim zlatom:
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
ondje Svemogući razbijaše kraljeve, a ona poput snijega zablista na Salmonu.
15 [As] mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
Božanska je gora gora bašanska vrletna.
16 Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.
Zašto vi, gore vrletne, zavidno gledate na goru gdje se svidje Bogu prebivati? Jahve će na njoj boraviti svagda!
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.
Božja su kola bezbrojna, tisuću tisuća: Jahve sa Sinaja u Svetište dolazi!
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim.
Na visinu uzađe vodeći sužnje, na dar si ljude primio, pa i one što ne žele prebivati kod Boga.
19 Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Blagoslovljen Jahve dan za danom, nosi nas Bog, naš Spasitelj.
20 Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth [even] from death.
Bog naš jest Bog koji spasava, Jahve od smrti izbavlja.
21 Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.
Zaista, Bog će satrti glave dušmana svojih, kuštravo tjeme onog što hodi u grijesima.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depth of the sea;
Reče Gospodin: “Iz Bašana ću ih dovesti, dovest ću ih iz dubine mora,
23 That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.
da okupaš nogu u krvi, da jezici tvojih pasa imadnu dio od dušmana.”
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
Ulazak ti, Bože, gledaju, ulazak moga Boga i Kralja u Svetište:
25 The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
sprijeda pjevači, za njima svirači, u sredini djevojke s bubnjićima.
26 In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, — [ye] from the fountain of Israel.
“U svečanim zborovima slavite Boga, slavite Jahvu, sinovi Izraelovi!”
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
Predvodi ih najmlađi, Benjamin, koji ide pred njima, ondje su knezovi Judini sa četama svojim, knezovi Zebulunovi i knezovi Naftalijevi.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Pokaži, Bože, silu svoju, silu kojom se, Bože, boriš za nas
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
iz Hrama svojega u Jeruzalemu! Nek' ti kraljevi darove donose!
30 Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: [every one] submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
Ukroti neman u trsci, stado bikova s teladi naroda! Neka se prostru pred tobom sa srebrnim žezlima: rasprši narode koji se ratu vesele!
31 Great ones shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall quickly stretch out her hands unto God.
Nek' dođu velikani iz Egipta, Etiopija nek' pruži ruke Bogu!
32 Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing psalms of the Lord, (Selah)
Sva kraljevstva svijeta, pjevajte Bogu, slavite Jahvu,
33 Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
koji se vozi po nebu, po nebu iskonskom! Čuj, glasom grmi, glasom svojim silnim:
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
“Priznajte silu Božju!” Nad Izraelom veličanstvo njegovo, u oblacima (sila) njegova!
35 Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, — the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!
Strašan je Bog iz svojega Svetišta. Bog Izraelov daje moć i silu narodu svojemu. Blagoslovljen Bog!
