< Psalms 27 >
1 BY DAVID. YHWH [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? YHWH [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
Davidov. Jahve mi je svjetlost i spasenje: koga da se bojim? Jahve je štit života moga: pred kime da strepim?
2 When evildoers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
Kad navale na me zlotvori da mi tijelo žderu, protivnici moji i dušmani, oni posrću i padaju.
3 Though a host encamps against me, My heart does not fear, Though war rises up against me, In this I [am] confident.
Nek' se vojska protiv mene utabori, srce se moje ne boji; nek' i rat plane protiv mene, i tada pun sam pouzdanja.
4 One [thing] I asked of YHWH—it I seek: My dwelling in the house of YHWH, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of YHWH, And to inquire in His temple.
Za jedno molim Jahvu, samo to ja tražim: da živim u Domu Jahvinu sve dane života svoga, da uživam milinu Jahvinu i Dom njegov gledam.
5 For He hides me in a dwelling place in the day of evil, He hides me in a secret place of His tent, He raises me up on a rock.
U sjenici svojoj on me zaklanja u dan kobni; skriva me u skrovištu Šatora svoga, na hridinu on me uzdiže.
6 And now my head is lifted up, Above my enemies—my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, indeed, I sing praise to YHWH.
I sada izdižem glavu iznad dušmana oko sebe. U njegovu ću Šatoru prinositi žrtve radosne, Jahvi ću pjevat' i klicati.
7 Hear, O YHWH, my voice—I call, And favor me, and answer me.
Slušaj, o Jahve, glas moga vapaja, milostiv mi budi, usliši me!
8 My heart said to You, “They sought my face, Your face, O YHWH, I seek.”
Moje mi srce govori: “Traži lice njegovo!” Da, lice tvoje, o Jahve, ja tražim.
9 Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant aside in anger, You have been my help. Do not leave me, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Ne skrivaj lica svoga od mene. Ne odbij u gnjevu slugu svoga! Ti, Pomoći moja, nemoj me odbaciti! I ne ostavi me, Bože, Spasitelju moj!
10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then YHWH gathers me.
Ako me otac i mati ostave, Jahve će me primiti.
11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
Nauči me, Jahve, putu svojemu, ravnom me stazom povedi poradi protivnika mojih.
12 Do not give me to the will of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And they breathe out violence to me.
Bijesu dušmana mojih ne predaj me, jer ustadoše na mene svjedoci lažni koji dašću nasiljem.
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of YHWH In the land of the living!
Vjerujem da ću uživati dobra Jahvina u zemlji živih.
14 Look to YHWH—be strong, And He strengthens your heart, Indeed, look to YHWH!
U Jahvu se uzdaj, ojunači se, čvrsto nek' bude srce tvoje: u Jahvu se uzdaj!
