Psalms 94
1 The Lord is a God of vengeance! God of vengeance, shine out!
O mogočni Bog maščevanj, Gospod, o mogočni Bog maščevanj, prisvéti!
2 Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.
Dvigni se, o zemlje sodnik; daj povračilo prevzetnim.
3 How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?
Doklej prevzetni, Gospod, doklej se bodejo radovali prevzetni?
4 How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?
Ustili se in govorili prevzetno, ponašali se vsi, ki delajo krivico?
5 Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.
Zatirali ljudstvo tvoje, Gospod, in ponižávali tvoje posestvo?
6 They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
Morili vdovo in tujca, in ubijali sirote?
7 They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”
Govoreč: Ne vidi Gospod, in ne zapazi Bog Jakobov.
8 Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?
Čujte, o najneumnejši v ljudstvu, in najnespametnejši, kdaj bodete razumni?
9 Do you think the creator of the ear can't hear? Do you think the maker of the eye can't see?
Ali on, ki je vsadil uho, ali bi on ne slišal? ali on, ki je naredil oko, ali bi ne videl?
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?
Ali on, ki pokori narode, ali bi ne grajal; ki uči ljudî modrosti, ali bi ne spoznal?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.
Gospod pozna misli človeške, da so zgolj ničemurnost.
12 Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
Blagor možu, katerega pokoriš, Gospod; in katerega učiš po zakonu svojem.
13 You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
Da mu pripraviš pokoj od dnî nadloge, ko se koplje krivičnemu jama.
14 For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
Ker Gospod ne zavrže ljudstva svojega, in posestva svojega ne zapusti.
15 Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
Temuč noter do pravice se povrne sodba, in za njo vsi, ki so pravega srca.
16 Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
Kdo bi bil vstal záme zoper hudodelnike? kdo bi se bil postavil zame zoper one, ki delajo krivico?
17 If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
Ko bi mi ne bil Gospod, polna pomoč, malo da bi ne bilo življenje moje prebivalo v kraji molčanja.
18 I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
Ko pravim: Omahuje noga moja, milost tvoja, o Gospod, me podpira.
19 When my mind was full of worries, you comforted me and encouraged me.
Ko so mnoge misli moje pri meni, tolažbe tvoje razveseljujejo dušo mojo.
20 Can unjust judges really be on your side, Lord, when their corrupt use of the law causes misery?
Ali bi se družil s teboj prestol nadlog, njega, ki me nadleguje zoper postavo?
21 They work together to destroy good people; they condemn those who are innocent to death.
Njih, ki se četoma zbirajo proti pravičnega duši, in obsojajo kri nedolžnih?
22 But the Lord protects me like a fortress; my God is the rock that keeps me safe.
Dà, Gospod mi je za grad, in Bog moj za skalo mojega pribežališča,
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 obrača proti njim njih krivico, in njih hudobnost jih pokončuje, pokončuje jih Gospod, naš Bog.
