Psalms 116
1 It is lovely to me that the Lord heareth my voice, my supplications.
Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me: therefore throughout all my days will I call on him.
uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
3 The bands of death had compassed me, and the pangs of the nether world had overtaken me; I had met with distress and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)
Užeta smrti sapeše me, stegoše me zamke Podzemlja, snašla me muka i tjeskoba. (Sheol h7585)
4 I then called on the name of the Lord, I beseech thee, O Lord, release my soul.
Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; and our God is merciful.
Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was in misery, and he helped me.
Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
7 Return, O my soul, unto thy rest; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of life.
Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
10 I believe, therefore will I speak: I was greatly afflicted;
Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
11 I indeed said in my despondency, Every man is a liar.
U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
12 What shall I give in return unto the Lord for all his bounties toward me?
Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
13 The cup of salvation will I lift up, and on the name of the Lord will I call.
Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
14 My vows will I pay unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all his people.
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
15 Grievous in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his pious ones.
Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
16 O Lord, truly am I thy servant, I am thy servant, —the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosened my fetters.
Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
17 Unto thee will I offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and on the name of the Lord will I call.
Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
18 My vows will I pay unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all his people,
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
19 In the courts of the house of the Lord, in thy midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
