Psalms 74
1 AN INSTRUCTION OF ASAPH. Why, O God, have You cast off forever? Your anger smokes against the flock of Your pasture.
Oh Bog, zakaj nas zavračaš za vedno? Zakaj se tvoja jeza kadi proti ovcam tvoje paše?
2 Remember Your congregation [That] You purchased of old, You redeemed the rod of Your inheritance, This Mount Zion—You dwelt in it.
Spomni se svoje skupnosti, ki si jo odkupil od davnine, palico svoje dediščine, ki si jo odkupil, to goro Sion, kjer prebivaš.
3 Lift up Your steps to the continuous desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.
Dvigni svoja stopala k neprestanim opustošenjem, celó vsemu kar je sovražnik zlobnega storil v svetišču.
4 Your adversaries have roared, In the midst of Your meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
Tvoji sovražniki rjovijo v sredi tvojih skupnosti, svoje zastave so postavili za znamenja.
5 He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood—axes.
Človek je bil slaven, če je nad debela drevesa dvigoval sekire.
6 And now they break down its engravings, Together, with axe and hatchet,
Toda sedaj so s sekirami in kladivi takoj zlomili rezljano delo le-tega.
7 They have sent Your sanctuary into fire, They defiled the Dwelling Place of Your Name to the earth,
Ogenj so vrgli v tvoje svetišče, s podrtjem do tal so omadeževali bivališče tvojega imena.
8 They said in their hearts, “Let us oppress them together,” They burned all the meeting-places of God in the land.
V svojih srcih so rekli: »Skupaj jih uničimo.« V deželi so požgali vse Božje sinagoge.
9 We have not seen our ensigns, There is no longer a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.
Ne vidimo svojih znamenj. Nobenega preroka ni več niti tukaj med nami ni nobenega, ki ve doklej.
10 Until when, O God, does an adversary reproach? Does an enemy despise Your Name forever?
Oh Bog, doklej bo nasprotnik grajal? Mar bo sovražnik na veke preklinjal tvoje ime?
11 Why do You turn back Your hand, Even Your right hand? Remove [it] from the midst of Your bosom.
Zakaj umikaš svojo roko, celó svojo desnico? Iztrgaj jo iz svojega naročja.
12 And God [is] my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Kajti Bog je moj Kralj od davnine, ki dela rešitev duš v sredi zemlje.
13 You have divided [the] sea by Your strength, You have shattered heads of dragons by the waters,
S svojo močjo si razdelil morje. Razbijaš glave zmajem v vodah.
14 You have broken the heads of leviathan, You make him food for the people of desert-dwellers.
Razbijaš glave leviatána na koščke in ga daješ, da postane hrana ljudstvu, ki prebiva v divjini.
15 You have cleaved a fountain and a stream, You have dried up perennial flowings.
Združil si studenec in morje, osušuješ mogočne reke.
16 The day [is] Yours, The night [is] also Yours, You have prepared a light-giver—the sun.
Dan je tvoj, tudi noč je tvoja, pripravil si svetlobo in sonce.
17 You have set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter—You have formed them.
Določil si vse meje zemlje. Naredil si poletje in zimo.
18 Remember this—an enemy reproached YHWH, And a foolish people have despised Your Name.
Spomni se, da je sovražnik grajal, oh Gospod in da je nespametno ljudstvo izrekalo bogokletje proti tvojemu imenu.
19 Do not give up to a [wild] creature, The soul of Your turtle-dove, Do not forget the life of Your poor ones forever.
Oh ne izročaj duše svoje grlice množici zlobnih. Ne pozabi skupnosti svojih ubogih na veke.
20 Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.
Ozri se k zavezi, kajti temni kraji zemlje so polni prebivališč krutosti.
21 Do not let the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Your Name,
Oh naj se zatirani ne vrne osramočen. Naj ubog in pomoči potreben hvalita tvoje ime.
22 Arise, O God, plead Your plea, Remember Your reproach from a fool all the day.
Vstani, oh Bog, zagovarjaj svojo lastno pravdo. Spomni se, kako te nespameten človek dnevno graja.
23 Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The noise of Your withstanders is going up continually!
Ne pozabi glasu svojih sovražnikov. Hrup teh, ki vstajajo zoper tebe, se nenehno povečuje.
