Psalms 32

1 To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Davidov. Poučna pjesma. Blažen onaj kome je grijeh otpušten, kome je zločin pokriven!

2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

Blago čovjeku kome Jahve ne ubraja krivnju i u čijemu duhu nema prijevare!

3 Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.

Prešutjet' sam htio, al' kosti mi klonuše od neprestana jecanja.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.

Danju i noću ruka me tvoja tištala, snaga mi se trošila k'o za ljetnih žega.

5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.

Tad grijeh svoj tebi priznah i krivnju svoju više ne skrivah. Rekoh: “Priznat ću Jahvi prijestup svoj”, i ti si mi krivnju grijeha oprostio.

6 For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.

Zato nek' ti se moli pobožnik svaki u času nevolje. Kad bujice silne navale, njega neće stići.

7 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.

Utočište ti si moje, od tjeskobe ti ćeš me sačuvat', odjenut' me radošću spasenja.

8 I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.

Učit ću te, put ti kazat' kojim ti je ići, svjetovat ću te, oko će moje bdjeti nad tobom.

9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.

Ne budite kao konj ili mazga bez razuma: divljinu im krotiš vođicama i uzdom, inače im se ne primiči!

10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.

Bezbožnika taru mnoge nevolje, a tko se uzda u Jahvu, njega okružuje milost.

11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.

Radujte se Jahvi i kličite, pravedni, kličite svi koji ste srca čestita!
