Psalms 79
1 A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple; they have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.
Psalam. Asafov. Bože, pogani, evo, provališe u baštinu tvoju, tvoj sveti Hram oskvrnuše, pretvoriše Jeruzalem u ruševine.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants [to be] food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth.
Trupla tvojih slugu dadoše za hranu pticama nebeskim, meso tvojih pobožnika zvijerima zemaljskim.
3 They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them].
Krv im k'o vodu prolijevahu oko Jeruzalema i ne bijaše nikoga da ih pokopa.
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.
Postadosmo sramota susjedima svojim, podsmijeh i ruglo svima oko nas.
5 How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
Dokle još, Jahve? Zar ćeš se svagda srditi? Zar će ljubomora tvoja poput ognja gorjeti?
6 Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon your name.
Izlij gnjev na pogane koji te ne priznaju i na kraljevstva što ne zazivlju ime tvoje!
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.
Jer izjedoše Jakova i opustošiše boravište njegovo.
8 Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.
Ne spominji se, protiv nas, grijeha otaca; neka nas pretekne smilovanje tvoje jer smo jadni i nevoljni.
9 Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake.
Pomozi nam, Bože, pomoći naša, zbog slave imena svojega, oslobodi nas i otpusti nam grijehe zbog imena svoga!
10 Lets haply they should say among the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of your servant's blood that has been shed be known among the heathen before our eyes.
Zašto da pogani govore: “TÓa gdje je njihov Bog?” Nek' se na poganima pokaže, pred očima našim, kako osvećuješ prolivenu krv slugu svojih!
11 Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.
Nek' do tebe dopru uzdasi sužanja, snagom svoje mišice poštedi predane smrti!
12 Repay to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
A našim susjedima vrati sedmerostruko u krilo pogrdu koju naniješe tebi, o Jahve!
13 For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture; we will give you thanks for ever; we will declare your praise throughout all generations.
A mi, tvoj puk i ovce paše tvoje, slavit ćemo te dovijeka, kazivat ćemo od koljena do koljena hvalu tvoju!
