< Psalms 73 >
1 A psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, to those whose minds are pure.
Psalm Asafov. Dá, dober je Bog Izraelu, čistim v srci.
2 But I was stumbling, my feet were starting to slide,
Jaz pa, malo da se niso izpotaknile noge moje, skoraj nič, da niso izpodrsnili koraki moji,
3 because I was jealous of self-important people—I saw how well the wicked were doing.
Ko sem zavidal blazne, gledal krivičnih blagostanje,
4 They don't ever seem to get sick; they are strong and healthy.
Ker ni ga vozla notri do njih smrti, temuč tolsta je njih moč.
5 They don't have problems like other people; they don't get hit by disasters like everybody else.
V trudu človeškem niso, in z drugimi ljudmi ne tepó jih nadloge.
6 They wear their pride like a necklace; they clothe themselves with violence.
Zatorej jih obdajajo prevzetnosti verige, pokriva jih kakor dika silovitost.
7 Their eyes bulge out because they're so fat; their minds are full of selfish vanity.
Svétiti se jim od tolšče obé očesi, kipé misli srčne.
8 They mock people, and speak maliciously; they arrogantly threaten cruelty.
Kužni so, in hudobno govoré zatiranje, in z višave govoré.
9 They talk irreverently against heaven above, and defame people here on earth.
V nebo dvigajo usta svoja, in jezik njih prehaja zemljo.
10 As a result people turn to them and drink in everything they say.
Zatorej se vrača sem ljudstvo njegovo, ko se čaše, vode polne, iztiskajo jim,
11 “God won't find out,” they say. “The Most High doesn't even know what's going on!”
Da pravijo: Kako bi poznal Bog mogočni? ali bi bilo znanje v višavi?
12 Look at these wicked people! They don't have a care in the world, and they're always making money!
Glej tiste krivične, kako mirni vekomaj množijo močí.
13 It's been pointless to keep my mind pure and my hands clean.
Vendar zastonj čistim svoje srce, in v snagi umivam rok svoje;
14 I'm cursed with suffering all day long; every morning I'm punished.
Ko me tepe vsak dan, in pokora moja mi je gotova vsako jutro.
15 If I'd talked like this to others, I would have betrayed your people.
Ako rečem: Pravil bodem to; glej, izdajalec bi bil zarodu tvojih sinov.
16 So I thought about it and tried to understand, but it looked like a lot of hard work to me—
Ako bi mislil spoznati to, težavno se mi je zdelo v mojih očéh;
17 until I went into God's Temple. Then I understood what happens to the wicked in the end.
Dokler sem stopil v svetišča Boga mogočnega, zagledal njih konec.
18 For you send them on a slippery path; you throw them down to destruction.
Ali na polzlo jih staviš, mečeš jih dol v podrtije.
19 How quickly they're destroyed! They come to a terrifying end.
Kako ginejo v zapuščenost, kakor v hipu minejo, konec jih je v grozah.
20 Like waking up from a dream, Lord—when you get up you will forget all about them!
Kakor sanje, ko se je zbudil kdo: Bog, ko se zbudiš, zaničuješ njih podobo.
21 At that time my thoughts were bitter. I felt like I had been stabbed.
Ko se razdraži srce moje, in ko sem se v ledvicah svojih samega zbadal,
22 I was stupid and ignorant. I was like a brute beast to you.
Tedaj sem bil brezpameten, ko nisem vedel: kakor živina bil sem pri tebi.
23 Yet I'm always with you; you hold me by the hand.
Zatorej bodem jaz vedno s teboj; prijel si roko desno mojo.
24 You tell me what to do; and ultimately you will welcome me in glory.
Sè sovetom svojim me spremljaj, da me potem v slavo sprejmeš.
25 Who is there in heaven for me except you? And I want nothing on earth except you.
Kdo bi mi bil v nebesih razen tebe? in razen tebe se nikogar ne veselim na zemlji.
26 My body and my mind may fail, but God is the foundation of my life. He is mine forever!
Ko peša meso moje in srce moje, skala srca mojega in delež moj je Bog vekomaj.
27 Those people who are far from God will die. You destroy all those unfaithful to you.
Ker glej, kateri so daleč od tebe, ginejo; pokončaš ga, kdor koli se s prešestvovanjem izneveri tebi.
28 But I love to stay close to God! I have chosen the Lord God to protect me. I will share all that you have done.
Meni torej je dobro, da sem blizu Bogu; v Gospoda stavim svoje pribežališče, da oznanjam vsa dela tvoja.
