Psalms 68
1 For the leader. Of David. A psalm. A song. God arises, his enemies scatter: they who hate him flee before him.
Zborovođi. Davidov. Psalam. Pjesma. Bog nek' ustane! Razbježali se dušmani njegovi! Svi mrzitelji njegovi pobjegli pred njim!
2 As smoke before wind is driven, as wax melts before fire, so before God vanish the wicked.
Kao što dim iščezava, i njih neka nestane! Kako se vosak topi na ognju, nek' nestane grešnika pred licem Božjim!
3 But the righteous rejoice in God’s presence, they exult with exceeding joy.
Pravedni neka se raduju, neka klikću pred Bogom, neka kliču od radosti.
4 Sing to God, make music to his name, his name is the Lord, praise him who rides on the clouds, and exult in his presence.
Pjevajte Bogu, slavite mu ime! Poravnajte put onome koji ide pustinjom - kojemu je ime Jahve - i kličite pred njim!
5 Father of orphans, defender of widows, is God in his holy abode.
Otac sirota, branitelj udovica, Bog je u svom svetom šatoru.
6 God brings home the lonely, he leads forth the prisoner to comfort, so that none but the rebel lives cheerless.
Napuštene okućit će Jahve, sužnjima pružit' sretnu slobodu: buntovnici samo ostaše u sažganoj pustinji.
7 God, when you went in front of your people in your march through the desert, (Selah)
Kad si stupao, Bože, pred narodom svojim, dok si prolazio pustinjom,
8 earth shook, the heavens poured rain at the presence of God, Sinai’s God at the presence of God, Israel’s God.
tresla se zemlja, nebo se rosilo pred Bogom, Sinaj drhtao pred Bogom, Bogom Izraela.
9 Rain in abundance, God, you did sprinkle, restoring the languishing land of your heritage.
Blagoslovljen dažd pustio si, Bože, na baštinu svoju, okrijepio je umornu.
10 A dwelling therein your people found: in your goodness, O God, you did care for the poor.
Stado se tvoje nastani u njoj, u dobroti, Bože, ti je spremi siromahu.
11 The Lord spoke the glad tidings of victory, a great army of women proclaim it:
Jahve riječ zadaje, veliko je mnoštvo radosnih vjesnika:
12 “Kings of armies they flee, they flee, and the housewife divides the spoil:
kraljevi vojska bježe te bježe, domaćice plijen dijele.
13 dove’s wings covered with silver and pinions with shimmer of gold,
Dok vi počivaste među stadima, krila golubice zablistaše srebrom, a njeno perje žućkastim zlatom:
14 set with stones, like snow upon Zalmon.”
ondje Svemogući razbijaše kraljeve, a ona poput snijega zablista na Salmonu.
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
Božanska je gora gora bašanska vrletna.
16 You high-peaked mountains, why look you askance at the mountain which God has desired for his home whereon the Lord will live forever?
Zašto vi, gore vrletne, zavidno gledate na goru gdje se svidje Bogu prebivati? Jahve će na njoj boraviti svagda!
17 The chariots of God are twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his holy place.
Božja su kola bezbrojna, tisuću tisuća: Jahve sa Sinaja u Svetište dolazi!
18 You did mount the height with trains of your captives, and gifts that you had received from the people. The rebels shall live with the Lord God.
Na visinu uzađe vodeći sužnje, na dar si ljude primio, pa i one što ne žele prebivati kod Boga.
19 Blest be the Lord who sustains us daily, the God who is also our savior. (Selah)
Blagoslovljen Jahve dan za danom, nosi nas Bog, naš Spasitelj.
20 Our God is a God who is savior. The ways of escape from death are known to the Lord God.
Bog naš jest Bog koji spasava, Jahve od smrti izbavlja.
21 Yes, God will shatter the head of his foes the rough scalp of those who strut on in their sins.
Zaista, Bog će satrti glave dušmana svojih, kuštravo tjeme onog što hodi u grijesima.
22 The Lord said: “I will bring you home from Bashan, home from the depths of the sea,
Reče Gospodin: “Iz Bašana ću ih dovesti, dovest ću ih iz dubine mora,
23 that your feet you may bathe in blood, and your dogs lick their share of the foe.”
da okupaš nogu u krvi, da jezici tvojih pasa imadnu dio od dušmana.”
24 In the temple appear God’s triumphal processions, processions in praise of my king and my God,
Ulazak ti, Bože, gledaju, ulazak moga Boga i Kralja u Svetište:
25 with singers in front, and minstrels behind, and maidens with timbrels between them, singing,
sprijeda pjevači, za njima svirači, u sredini djevojke s bubnjićima.
26 “You of the well-spring of Israel, bless the Lord God in the dance.”
“U svečanim zborovima slavite Boga, slavite Jahvu, sinovi Izraelovi!”
27 There, in front, is Benjamin the little, the princes of Judah beside them, the princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali.
Predvodi ih najmlađi, Benjamin, koji ide pred njima, ondje su knezovi Judini sa četama svojim, knezovi Zebulunovi i knezovi Naftalijevi.
28 God, show your strength, your godlike might, as you did in the past,
Pokaži, Bože, silu svoju, silu kojom se, Bože, boriš za nas
29 from your temple that crowns Jerusalem. Kings shall bring tribute to you.
iz Hrama svojega u Jeruzalemu! Nek' ti kraljevi darove donose!
30 Rebuke the beast of the reed, the herd of bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Trample down the lovers of lies. Scatter the nations whose joy is in war.
Ukroti neman u trsci, stado bikova s teladi naroda! Neka se prostru pred tobom sa srebrnim žezlima: rasprši narode koji se ratu vesele!
31 May they come from Egypt with gifts of oil, Ethiopia haste with full hands to God.
Nek' dođu velikani iz Egipta, Etiopija nek' pruži ruke Bogu!
32 Sing to God, O you kingdoms of earth, make melody to the Lord. (Selah)
Sva kraljevstva svijeta, pjevajte Bogu, slavite Jahvu,
33 Praise him who rides on the ancient heavens. See! He utters his voice, his mighty voice.
koji se vozi po nebu, po nebu iskonskom! Čuj, glasom grmi, glasom svojim silnim:
34 Ascribe strength to the God over Israel, whose strength and majesty live in the skies.
“Priznajte silu Božju!” Nad Izraelom veličanstvo njegovo, u oblacima (sila) njegova!
35 Awe-inspiring is God in his holy place, it is Israel’s God who gives strength and might to his people. Blessed be God.
Strašan je Bog iz svojega Svetišta. Bog Izraelov daje moć i silu narodu svojemu. Blagoslovljen Bog!
