< Psalms 94 >
1 LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
Oh Gospod Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, oh Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, pokaži se.
2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
Dvigni se, ti sodnik zemlje; povrni nagrado ponosnim.
3 LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
Gospod, doklej bodo zlobni, doklej bodo zlobni slavili zmago?
4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
Kako dolgo bodo izgovarjali in govorili trde stvari in se bahali vsi delavci krivičnosti?
5 They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage.
Tvoje ljudstvo razbijajo na koščke, oh Gospod in prizadevajo tvojo dediščino.
6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
Ubijajo vdovo in tujca in morijo osirotele.
7 They say, "The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider."
Vendar pravijo: » Gospod nas ne bo videl niti Bog Jakobov tega ne bo upošteval.«
8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
Razumite, vi brutalni izmed ljudstva, in vi bedaki, kdaj boste modri?
9 He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see?
Kdor je zasadil uho, da ne bi slišal? Kdor je oblikoval oko, da ne bi videl?
10 He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows.
Kdor kaznuje pogane, da ne bi grajal? Kdor uči človeka spoznanja, da ne bi vedel?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
Gospod pozna človekove misli, da so le-te ničevost.
12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your Law;
Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ga karaš, oh Gospod in ga učiš iz svoje postave,
13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
da mu lahko daš počitek od dni nadloge, dokler ni izkopana jama za zlobnega.
14 For the LORD won't reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
Kajti Gospod ne bo zavrgel svojega ljudstva niti ne bo zapustil svoje dediščine.
15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
Toda sodba se bo vrnila k pravičnosti in vsi iskreni v srcu ji bodo sledili.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
Kdo se bo zame dvignil zoper hudodelce? Ali kdo bo zame vstal zoper delavce krivičnosti?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
Če Gospod ne bi bil moja pomoč, bi moja duša skoraj prebivala v tišini.
18 When I said, "My foot is slipping." Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.
Ko sem rekel: »Moje stopalo zdrsuje, me je podpiralo tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
V množici mojih misli znotraj mene tvoje tolažbe razveseljujejo mojo dušo.
20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
Mar bo prestol krivičnosti, ki z uzakonitvijo snuje vragolijo, imel družbo s teboj?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
Skupaj se zbirajo zoper dušo pravičnega in obsojajo nedolžno kri.
22 But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
Toda Gospod je moja obramba in moj Bog je skala mojega zatočišča.
23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off.
Nadnje bo privedel njihovo lastno krivičnost in odsekal jih bo v njihovi lastni zlobnosti; da, Gospod, naš Bog, jih bo odsekal.
