< Psalms 38 >

1 A psalm of David, for a memorial. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; don't punish me because you're furious with me!
Psalam. Davidov. Za spomen. Jahve, u srdžbi svojoj nemoj ne karati, i nemoj me kazniti u svojemu gnjevu.
2 Your arrows have pierced me deeply, your hand has come down hard on me.
Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:
3 Because you're so upset with me, not a single part of my body is healthy; I am completely sick because of my sins.
na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema zbog gnjeva tvog, od grijeha mojih mira mi nema kostima.
4 I'm drowning in guilt—the burden is too heavy to bear.
Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.
5 My wounds are infected—they're smelling—all because of my stupidity.
Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.
6 I am bent over, doubled up in pain. The whole day I walk around crying my eyes out.
Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.
7 Inside I'm burning up with fever; no part of my body is healthy.
Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.
8 I'm worn out, totally down. I groan because of the anguish I feel in my heart.
Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.
9 Lord, you know what I desperately want, you hear every sigh I make.
O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.
10 My heart is racing, leaving me with no strength; my eyesight is failing.
Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.
11 My loved ones and my friends don't come near me because they're afraid of what I've got. Even my family keeps me at a distance.
Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.
12 Those who are trying to kill me set traps for me; those who want to hurt me make threats against me, working on their deceitful schemes all day long.
Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.
13 I act as if I'm deaf to what they're saying, and pretend to be dumb so I don't have to speak.
A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.
14 Like a man who can't hear, and who doesn't reply—that's me!
Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.
15 For I'm waiting on you, Lord! You will answer for me, my Lord and my God.
Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!
16 I'm asking you, Lord, please don't let my enemies gloat over me, don't let them be glad when I trip up.
Rekoh: “Nek' se ne raduju nada mnom; kad mi noga posrne, nek' se ne uzdižu nada mnom!”
17 For I'm about ready to collapse—the pain never stops.
Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.
18 I do confess my sins; I am terribly sorry for what I've done.
Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.
19 I have many powerful enemies—they are very active, hating me for no reason.
A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.
20 They pay me back evil for good; they accuse me for the good I try to do.
Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.
21 Don't give up on me, my Lord and my God, don't stay away from me.
O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!
22 Hurry, come and help me, Lord my salvation.
Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!
