2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul;
David upravi Jahvi riječi ove pjesme u dan kad ga je Jahve izbavio iz ruku svih njegovih neprijatelja i iz ruke Šaulove.
2 and he said: The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
Pjevao je: “Jahve, hridino moja, utvrdo moja, spase moj;
3 The God who is my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower, and my refuge; my saviour, Thou savest me from violence.
Bože moj, pećino moja kojoj se utječem, štite moj, spasenje moje, tvrđavo moja! Ti me izbavljaš od nasilja.
4 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
Zazvat ću Jahvu hvale predostojna i od dušmana bit ću izbavljen.
5 For the waves of Death compassed me. The floods of Belial assailed me.
Valovi smrti okružiše mene, prestraviše me bujice pogubne,
Užad Podzemlja sputiše me, smrtonosne zamke padoše na me: (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, yea, I called unto my God; and out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry did enter into His ears.
u nevolji zazvah Jahvu i Bogu svome zavapih. Iz svog Doma zov mi začu, i vapaj moj mu do ušiju doprije.
8 Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations of heaven did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
I zemlja se potrese i uzdrhta, uzdrmaše se temelji nebesa, pokrenuše se, jer On gnjevom planu.
9 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
Iz nosnica mu dim se diže, iz usta mu oganj liznu, ugljevlje živo od njega plamsa.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
On nagnu nebesa i siđe, pod nogama oblaci mu mračni.
11 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He was seen upon the wings of the wind.
Na keruba stade i poletje; na krilima vjetra zaplovi.
12 And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Ogrnu se mrakom kao koprenom, prekri se tamnim vodama i oblacima tmastim,
13 At the brightness before Him coals of fire flamed forth.
od bljeska pred licem njegovim užga se ugljevlje plameno.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
Jahve s neba zagrmje, Svevišnjega glas se ori.
15 And He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
Odape strijele i dušmane rasu, izbaci munje i na zemlju ih obori.
16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
Morska dna se pokazaše, i temelji svijeta postaše goli od strašne prijetnje Jahvine, od olujna daha gnjeva njegova.
17 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters;
On pruži s neba ruku i mene prihvati, iz silnih voda on me izbavi.
18 He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Od protivnika moćnog mene oslobodi, od dušmana mojih jačih od mene.
19 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
Navališe na me u dan zlosretni, ali me Jahve zaštiti,
20 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
na polje prostrano izvede me, spasi me jer sam mu mio.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
Po pravednosti mojoj Jahve mi uzvrati, po čistoći ruku mojih on me nagradi,
22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
jer čuvah putove Jahvine, od Boga se svoga ne udaljih.
23 For all His ordinances were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not depart from them.
Odredbe njegove sve su mi pred očima, zapovijedi njegove nisam odbacio,
24 And I was single-hearted toward Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
do srži odan njemu sam bio, čuvam se grijeha svakoga.
25 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His eyes.
Jahve mi po pravdi mojoj vrati, čistoću ruku mojih vidje.
26 With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright,
S prijateljem ti si prijatelj, poštenu poštenjem uzvraćaš.
27 With the pure Thou dost show myself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
S čovjekom čistim ti si čist, a lukavca izigravaš,
28 And the afflicted people Thou dost save; but Thine eyes are upon the haughty, that Thou mayest humble them.
jer narodu poniženu spasenje donosiš a ponižavaš oči ohole.
29 For Thou art my lamp, O LORD; and the LORD doth lighten my darkness.
Jahve, ti moju svjetiljku užižeš, Bože, tminu moju obasjavaš:
30 For by Thee I run upon a troop; by my God do I scale a wall.
s tobom udaram na čete dušmanske, s Bogom svojim preskačem zidine.
31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
Savršeni su puti Gospodnji, i riječ je Jahvina ognjem kušana. on je štit svima, samo on, koji se k njemu utječu.
32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a Rock, save our God?
Jer tko je Bog osim Jahve? Tko li je hridina osim Boga našega?
33 The God who is my strong fortress, and who letteth my way go forth straight;
Taj Bog me snagom opasuje, stere mi put besprijekoran.
34 Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
Noge mi dade brze ko u košute i postavi me na visine sigurne,
35 Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
ruke mi za borbu uvježba i mišice da luk mjedeni napinju.
36 Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
Daješ mi štit svoj koji spasava, tvoja me brižljivost uzvisi.
37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Pouzdanje daješ mom koraku, i noge mi više ne posrću.
38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
Pognah svoje dušmane i dostigoh, i ne vratih se dok ih ne uništih.
39 And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, that they cannot arise; yea, they are fallen under my feet.
Obaram ih, ne mogu se dići, padaju, pod nogama mi leže.
40 For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Ti me opasa snagom za borbu, a protivnike moje meni podloži.
41 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me; yea, them that hate me, that I might cut them off.
Ti dušmane moje u bijeg natjera, i rasprših one koji su me mrzili.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
Vapiju u pomoć, nikog da pomogne, vapiju Jahvi - ne odaziva se.
43 Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the streets, and did tread them down.
Smrvih ih kao prah na vjetru, zgazih ih ko blato na putu.
44 Thou also hast delivered me from the contentions of my people; Thou hast kept me to be the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
Ti me §izbavÄi od bune u mom narodu, postavi me glavarom pogana, puk koji ne poznavah služi mi.
45 The sons of the stranger dwindle away before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
Svaki moj šapat pokorno on sluša. Sinovi tuđinci meni laskaju,
46 The sons of the stranger fade away, and come halting out of their close places.
sinovi tuđinski gube srčanost izlaze dršćuć iz svojih utvrda.
47 The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God, my Rock of salvation;
Živio Jahve! Blagoslovljena hridina moja! Neka se uzvisi Bog, spasenje moje!
48 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and bringeth down peoples under me,
Bog koji mi daje osvetu i narode meni pokorava.
49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
Od dušmana me mojih izbavljaš i nad protivnike me moje izdižeš, ti mene od čovjeka silnika spasavaš.
50 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
Zato te slavim, Jahve, među pucima i psalam pjevam tvome Imenu:
51 A tower of salvation is He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
umnožio si pobjede kralju svojemu, pomazaniku svome milost si iskazao, Davidu i potomstvu njegovu navijeke.”
