Psalms 32

1 “Of David: a Maskil.” Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Davidov. Poučna pjesma. Blažen onaj kome je grijeh otpušten, kome je zločin pokriven!

2 Happy is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.

Blago čovjeku kome Jahve ne ubraja krivnju i u čijemu duhu nema prijevare!

3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my crying all the day.

Prešutjet' sam htio, al' kosti mi klonuše od neprestana jecanja.

4 For by day and night lay thy hand heavily upon me: my [life's] moisture hath been changed through the droughts of summer. (Selah)

Danju i noću ruka me tvoja tištala, snaga mi se trošila k'o za ljetnih žega.

5 My sin do I ever acknowledge unto thee, and my iniquity have I not covered up. I said, I will make confession because of my transgressions unto the Lord: and thou truly forgavest the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)

Tad grijeh svoj tebi priznah i krivnju svoju više ne skrivah. Rekoh: “Priznat ću Jahvi prijestup svoj”, i ti si mi krivnju grijeha oprostio.

6 For this shall every pious one pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely [then] when great waters overflow, they shall never reach unto him.

Zato nek' ti se moli pobožnik svaki u času nevolje. Kad bujice silne navale, njega neće stići.

7 Thou art my hiding-place; from distress wilt thou preserve me; with songs of deliverance wilt thou encompass me. (Selah)

Utočište ti si moje, od tjeskobe ti ćeš me sačuvat', odjenut' me radošću spasenja.

8 I will instruct thee and I will teach thee concerning the way which thou oughtest to go: I will counsel thee with my eye.

Učit ću te, put ti kazat' kojim ti je ići, svjetovat ću te, oko će moje bdjeti nad tobom.

9 Be ye not like the horse, or like the mule, who hath no understanding; who must be held in with bit and bridle, his ornament, lest he come near unto thee.

Ne budite kao konj ili mazga bez razuma: divljinu im krotiš vođicama i uzdom, inače im se ne primiči!

10 Many are the pains of the wicked; but him that trusteth in the Lord will he encompass with kindness.

Bezbožnika taru mnoge nevolje, a tko se uzda u Jahvu, njega okružuje milost.

11 Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

Radujte se Jahvi i kličite, pravedni, kličite svi koji ste srca čestita!
