Psalms 74
1 A Psalme to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe of thy pasture?
Poučna pjesma. Asafova. Zašto si, Bože, posve zabacio, zašto kiptiš gnjevom na ovce paše svoje?
2 Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Sjeti se zajednice koju si davno stekao, plÓemena koje namače kao svoju baštinu i brda Siona gdje si Šator svoj udario!
3 Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
Korakni k ruševinama vječnim - sve je u Svetištu razorio neprijatelj.
4 Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
Protivnici tvoji vikahu posred skupštine tvoje, znakove svoje postaviše k'o pobjedne znakove.
5 He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
Bijahu kao oni koji mašu sjekirom po guštari,
6 But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
sjekirom i maljem vrata mu razbijali.
7 They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
Ognju predadoše Svetište tvoje, do zemlje oskvrnuše Prebivalište tvoga imena.
8 They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God in the land.
Rekoše u srcu: “Istrijebimo ih zajedno; spalite sva svetišta Božja na zemlji!”
9 We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.
Ne vidimo znakova svojih, proroka više nema, i nitko među nama ne zna dokle ...
10 O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
Dokle će se još, o Bože, dušmanin rugati? Hoće li protivnik dovijeka prezirati ime tvoje?
11 Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
Zašto povlačiš ruku, zašto u krilu sakrivaš desnicu svoju?
12 Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
No Bog je moj kralj od davnine, on koji posred zemlje spasava!
13 Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Ti svojom silom rasječe more, smrska glave nakazama u vodi.
14 Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
Ti si Levijatanu glave zdrobio, dao ga za hranu nemanima morskim.
15 Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
Ti si dao da provre izvor i bujica, ti si presušio rijeke nepresušne.
16 The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
Tvoj je dan i noć je tvoja, ti učvrsti mjesec i sunce;
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
ti sazda sve granice zemlji, ti stvori ljeto i zimu.
18 Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
Spomeni se ovoga: dušmanin ti se rugaše, Jahve, i bezumni narod pogrdi ime tvoje.
19 Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
Ne predaj jastrebu život grlice svoje, i život svojih siromaha ne zaboravi zauvijek!
20 Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
Pogledaj na Savez svoj, jer svi su zakuci zemlje puni tmina i nasilja.
21 Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
Ne daj da jadnik otiđe postiđen: neka siromah i ubog hvale ime tvoje!
22 Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
Ustani, Bože, zauzmi se za svoju parnicu, spomeni se pogrde koju ti bezumnik svaki dan nanosi.
23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
Ne zaboravi vike neprijatelja svojih: buka buntovnika još se diže k tebi!
