Psalms 73
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
Ta dobar je Bog Izrailju, onima koji su èista srca.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
A noge moje umalo ne zaðoše, umalo ne popuznuše stopala moja,
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Jer se rasrdih na bezumnike videæi kako bezbožnici dobro žive.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
Jer ne znaju za nevolju do same smrti, i tijelo je njihovo pretilo.
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
Na poslovima èovjeèijim nema ih, i ne muèe se s drugim ljudima.
6 Therefore pride compasses them about as a chain; violence covers them as a garment.
Toga radi optoèeni su ohološæu kao ogrlicom, i obuèeni u obijest kao u stajaæe ruho.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
Od debljine izbuljeno im je oko, srce puno klape.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
Potsmijevaju se, pakosno govore o nasilju, oholo govore.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walks through the earth.
Usta svoja dižu u nebo, i zemlju prolazi jezik njihov.
10 Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
I zato se onamo navraæaju neki iz naroda njegova, i piju vodu iz puna izvora.
11 And they say, How does God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
I govore: kako æe razabrati Bog? zar višnji zna?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
Pa eto, ovi bezbožnici sreæni na svijetu umnožavaju bogatstvo.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.
Zar dakle uzalud èistim srce svoje, i umivam bezazlenošæu ruke svoje,
14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
Dopadam rana svaki dan, i muke svako jutro?
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of your children.
Kad bih kazao: govoriæu kao i oni, iznevjerio bih rod sinova tvojih.
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
I tako stadoh razmišljati da bih ovo razumio; ali to bješe teško u oèima mojima.
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.
Dok najposlije uðoh u svetinju Božiju, i doznah kraj njihov.
18 Surely you did set them in slippery places: you casted them down into destruction.
Ta na klizavom mjestu postavio si ih, i bacaš ih u propast!
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
Kako zaèas propadaju, ginu, nestaje ih od nenadne strahote!
20 As a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when you awake, you shall despise their image.
Kao san, kad se èovjek probudi, tako probudivši ih, Gospode, u ništa obraæaš utvaru njihovu.
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
Kad kipljaše srce moje i rastrzah se u sebi,
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before you.
Tada bijah neznalica i ne razumijevah; kao živinèe bijah pred tobom.
23 Nevertheless I am continually with you: you have held me by my right hand.
Ali sam svagda kod tebe, ti me držiš za desnu ruku.
24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
Po svojoj volji vodiš me, i poslije æeš me odvesti u slavu.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside you.
Koga imam na nebu? i s tobom nièega neæu na zemlji.
26 My flesh and my heart fails: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Èezne za tobom tijelo moje i srce moje; Bog je grad srca mojega i dio moj dovijeka.
27 For, lo, they that are far from you shall perish: you have destroyed all them that go a whoring from you.
Jer evo koji otstupiše od tebe, ginu; ti istrebljavaš svakoga koji èini preljubu ostavljajuæi tebe.
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all your works.
A meni je dobro biti blizu Boga. Na Gospoda polažem nadanje svoje, i kazivaæu sva èudesa tvoja.
