< Psalms 94 >
1 The Lord is a God of vengeance! God of vengeance, shine out!
Bože od osvete, Gospode, Bože od osvete, pokaži se!
2 Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.
Podigni se, sudijo zemaljski, podaj zaslugu oholima.
3 How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?
Dokle æe se bezbožnici, Gospode, dokle æe se bezbožnici hvaliti?
4 How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?
Ruže i oholo govore, velièaju se svi koji èine bezakonje.
5 Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.
Gaze narod tvoj, Gospode, i dostojanje tvoje muèe.
6 They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
Udovicu i došljaka ubijaju, i sirote more.
7 They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”
I govore: neæe vidjeti Gospod, i neæe doznati Bog Jakovljev.
8 Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?
Orazumite se, preludi ljudi! budale! kad æete biti pametni?
9 Do you think the creator of the ear can't hear? Do you think the maker of the eye can't see?
Koji je stvorio uho, zar ne èuje? i koji je oko naèinio, zar ne vidi?
10 Do you think that the one who punishes nations won't punish you too? Do you think that the one who teaches human beings knowledge doesn't know anything?
Zar neæe oblièiti koji narode urazumljuje, koji uèi èovjeka da zna?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.
Gospod zna misli ljudima kako su ništave.
12 Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
Blago èovjeku koga ti, Gospode, urazumljuješ, i zakonom svojim uèiš;
13 You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
Da bi mu dao mir u zle dane, dok se iskopa jama bezbožniku.
14 For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
Jer neæe odbaciti Gospod naroda svojega, i dostojanja svojega neæe ostaviti.
15 Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
Jer æe se sud vratiti na pravdu, i njega æe naæi svi prava srca.
16 Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
Ko æe ustati za mene suprot zlima? ko æe stati za mene suprot onima koji èine bezakonje?
17 If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
Kad mi Gospod ne bi bio pomoænik, brzo bi se duša moja preselila onamo gdje se muèi.
18 I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
Kad reèem: drkæe mi noga, milost tvoja, Gospode, prihvata me.
19 When my mind was full of worries, you comforted me and encouraged me.
Kad se umnože brige u srcu mom, utjehe tvoje razgovaraju dušu moju.
20 Can unjust judges really be on your side, Lord, when their corrupt use of the law causes misery?
Eda li æe blizu tebe stati prijesto krvnièki, i onaj koji namišlja nasilje nasuprot zakonu?
21 They work together to destroy good people; they condemn those who are innocent to death.
Spremaju se na dušu pravednikovu, i krv pravu okrivljuju.
22 But the Lord protects me like a fortress; my God is the rock that keeps me safe.
Ali je Gospod moje pristanište, i Bog je moj tvrdo utoèište moje.
23 He will turn the wickedness of evil people back upon them; he will destroy them because of their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
On æe im vratiti za bezakonje njihovo, za njihovu zloæu istrijebiæe ih, istrijebiæe ih Gospod, Bog naš.
