Psalms 74
1 [A contemplation by Asaph.] God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
Oh Bog, zakaj nas zavračaš za vedno? Zakaj se tvoja jeza kadi proti ovcam tvoje paše?
2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance; Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
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 feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done 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 assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
Tvoji sovražniki rjovijo v sredi tvojih skupnosti, svoje zastave so postavili za znamenja.
5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
Človek je bil slaven, če je nad debela drevesa dvigoval sekire.
6 Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
Toda sedaj so s sekirami in kladivi takoj zlomili rezljano delo le-tega.
7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
Ogenj so vrgli v tvoje svetišče, s podrtjem do tal so omadeževali bivališče tvojega imena.
8 They said in their heart, "We will crush them completely." They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
V svojih srcih so rekli: »Skupaj jih uničimo.« V deželi so požgali vse Božje sinagoge.
9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
Ne vidimo svojih znamenj. Nobenega preroka ni več niti tukaj med nami ni nobenega, ki ve doklej.
10 How long, God, shall the enemy mock? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
Oh Bog, doklej bo nasprotnik grajal? Mar bo sovražnik na veke preklinjal tvoje ime?
11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it out of your pocket and consume them.
Zakaj umikaš svojo roko, celó svojo desnico? Iztrgaj jo iz svojega naročja.
12 Yet God is my King from long ago, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Kajti Bog je moj Kralj od davnine, ki dela rešitev duš v sredi zemlje.
13 You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
S svojo močjo si razdelil morje. Razbijaš glave zmajem v vodah.
14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
Razbijaš glave leviatána na koščke in ga daješ, da postane hrana ljudstvu, ki prebiva v divjini.
15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
Združil si studenec in morje, osušuješ mogočne reke.
16 The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
Dan je tvoj, tudi noč je tvoja, pripravil si svetlobo in sonce.
17 You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
Določil si vse meje zemlje. Naredil si poletje in zimo.
18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Jehovah. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
Spomni se, da je sovražnik grajal, oh Gospod in da je nespametno ljudstvo izrekalo bogokletje proti tvojemu imenu.
19 Do not deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Do not forget the life of your poor forever.
Oh ne izročaj duše svoje grlice množici zlobnih. Ne pozabi skupnosti svojih ubogih na veke.
20 Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
Ozri se k zavezi, kajti temni kraji zemlje so polni prebivališč krutosti.
21 Do not let the oppressed return 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, God. Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all 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 tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
Ne pozabi glasu svojih sovražnikov. Hrup teh, ki vstajajo zoper tebe, se nenehno povečuje.
