< Psalms 83 >

1 A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!
2 For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.
3 They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.
4 They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
Govore: “Dođite, zatrimo ih da ne budu narod, nek' se ime Izrael više ne spominje!”
5 For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:
6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,
7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Gebal i Amon i Amalek, Filisteja sa stanovnicima Tira.
8 Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)
I Asirci se s njima udružiše, pružiše ruke potomcima Lotovim.
9 Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:
10 Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
K'o Oreb i Zeb neka budu knezovi njihovi, kao Zebah i Salmuna nek' budu sve vođe njihove
12 Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”
13 O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.
14 As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,
15 So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!
16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!
17 Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
Neka se stide i plaše navijek, neka se posrame i neka izginu!
18 That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.
