Psalms 79
1 [A Psalm by Asaph.] God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
Bože! neznabošci doðoše u dostojanje tvoje; oskvrniše svetu crkvu tvoju, Jerusalim pretvoriše u zidine.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your faithful to the animals of the earth.
Truplje sluga tvojih dadoše pticama nebeskijem da ih jedu, tijela svetaca tvojih zvijerima zemaljskim.
3 Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
Proliše krv njihovu kao vodu oko Jerusalima, i ne bješe ko da pogrebe.
4 We have become objects of contempt to our neighbors, mocked and ridiculed by those who are around us.
Postadosmo potsmijeh u susjeda svojih, rugaju nam se i sramote nas koji su oko nas.
5 How long, Jehovah? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Dokle æeš se, Gospode, jednako gnjeviti, jarost tvoja gorjeti kao oganj?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you; on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;
Izlij gnjev svoj na narode koji te ne znaju, i na carstva koja ne prizivlju tvojega imena.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
Jer izjedoše Jakova, i naselje njegovo opustiše.
8 Do not hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
Ne pominji preðašnjih bezakonja naših, veæ pohitaj da nas presreteš milosrðem svojim, jer smo veoma ološali.
9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.
Pomozi nam, Bože, spasitelju naš, radi slave imena svojega, izbavi nas i oèisti od grijeha naših radi imena svojega.
10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.
Zašto da govore neznabošci: gdje je Bog njihov? Neka se pokaže pred oèima našim osveta nad neznabošcima za prolitu krv sluga tvojih!
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, free those who are sentenced to death.
Neka izaðu pred lice tvoje uzdasi sužanjski, silom mišice svoje saèuvaj namijenjene smrti.
12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their lap the insults with which they have insulted you, Jehovah.
Sedminom vrati u njedra susjedima našim ruženje, kojim te ružiše, Gospode!
13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
A mi narod tvoj i ovce paše tvoje dovijeka æemo tebe slaviti i od koljena na koljeno kazivati hvalu tvoju.
