Psalms 34
1 A Psalm of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Davidov. Kada se David pravio ludim pred Abimelekom, a on ALEF Blagoslivljat ću Jahvu u svako doba, njegova će mi hvala biti svagda na ustima!
2 My soul shall glory in the LORD; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
BET Nek' se Jahvom duša moja hvali: nek' čuju ponizni i nek' se raduju!
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.
GIMEL Veličajte sa mnom Jahvu, uzvisujmo ime njegovo zajedno!
4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
DALETTražio sam Jahvu, i on me usliša, izbavi me od straha svakoga.
5 They looked unto Him, and were radiant; and their faces shall never be abashed.
HE U njega gledajte i razveselite se, da se ne postide lica vaša.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard, and saved him out of all his troubles.
ZAJIN Eto, jadnik vapi, a Jahve ga čuje, izbavlja ga iz svih tjeskoba.
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.
HET Anđeo Jahvin tabor podiže oko njegovih štovalaca da ih spasi.
8 O consider and see that the LORD is good; happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.
TET Kušajte i vidite kako dobar je Jahve: blago čovjeku koji se njemu utječe!
9 O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; for there is no want to them that fear Him.
JOD Bojte se Jahve, vi sveti njegovi: ne trpe oskudice koji ga se boje.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.
KAF Osiromašiše mogućnici i gladuju, a koji traže Jahvu ne trpe oskudice.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
LAMED Dođite, djeco, i poslušajte me, učit ću vas strahu Gospodnjem.
12 Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good therein?
MEM O čovječe, ljubiš li život? Želiš li dane mnoge uživati dobra?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
NUN Jezik svoj oda zla suspreži i usne od riječi prijevarnih!
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
SAMEK Zla se kloni, a čini dobro, traži mir i za njim idi!
15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.
PE Oči Jahvine gledaju pravedne, uši mu slušaju vapaje njihove.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
AJIN Lice se Jahvino okreće protiv zločinaca da im spomen zatre na zemlji.
17 They cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
SADE Pravednici zazivaju, i Jahve ih čuje, izbavlja ih iz svih tjeskoba.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
KOF Blizu je Jahve onima koji su skršena srca, a klonule duše spasava.
19 Many are the ills of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
REŠ Mnoge nevolje ima pravednik, ali ga Jahve od svih izbavlja.
20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
ŠIN On čuva sve kosti njegove: ni jedna mu se neće slomiti.
21 Evil shall kill the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.
TAU Opakost bezbošca ubija, platit će koji mrze pravednika.
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.
Jahve izbavlja duše slugu svojih, i neće platiti tko god se njemu utječe.
