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?
Zašto se, Bože, srdiš na nas dugo; dimi se gnjev tvoj na ovce paše tvoje?
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.
Opomeni se sabora svojega, koji si stekao od starine, iskupio sebi u našljednu državu, gore Siona, na kojoj si se naselio.
3 Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
Podigni stope svoje na stare razvaline: sve je razrušio neprijatelj u svetinji.
4 Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
Rièu neprijatelji tvoji na mjestu sabora tvojih, svoje obièaje postavljaju mjesto naših obièaja.
5 He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
Vidiš, oni su kao onaj koji podiže sjekiru na spletene grane u drveta.
6 But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
Sve u njemu što je rezano razbiše sjekirama i bradvama.
7 They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
Ognjem sažegoše svetinju tvoju; na zemlju obalivši oskvrniše stan imena tvojega.
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 svojem: potrimo ih sasvijem. Popališe sva mjesta sabora Božijih na zemlji.
9 We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.
Obièaja svojih ne vidimo, nema više proroka, i nema u nas ko bi znao dokle æe to trajati.
10 O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
Dokle æe se, Bože, rugati nasilnik? hoæe li dovijeka protivnik prkositi imenu tvojemu?
11 Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
Zašto ustavljaš ruku svoju i desnicu svoju? Pruži iz njedara svojih, i istrijebi ih.
12 Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
Bože, care moj, koji od starine tvoriš spasenje posred zemlje!
13 Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Ti si silom svojom raskinuo more, i satro glave vodenim nakazama.
14 Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
Ti si razmrskao glavu krokodilu, dao ga onima koji žive u pustinji da ga jedu.
15 Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
Ti si otvorio izvore i potoke, ti si isušio rijeke koje ne presišu.
16 The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
Tvoj je dan i tvoja je noæ, ti si postavio zvijezde i sunce.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Ti si utvrdio sve krajeve zemaljske, ljeto i zimu ti si uredio.
18 Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
Opomeni se toga, neprijatelj se ruga Gospodu, i narod bezumni ne mari za 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 daj zvijerima duše grlice svoje, nemoj zaboraviti stada stradalaca svojih zasvagda.
20 Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
Pogledaj na zavjet; jer su sve peæine zemaljske pune stanova bezakonja.
21 Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
Nevoljnik nek se ne vrati sramotan, ništi i ubogi neka hvale ime tvoje.
22 Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
Ustani, Bože, brani stvar svoju, opomeni se kako ti se bezumnik ruga svaki dan!
23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
Ne zaboravi obijesti neprijatelja svojih, vike, koju jednako dižu protivnici tvoji!
