Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Strive thou, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight thou against them that fight against me.
Zagovarjaj mojo pravdo, oh Gospod, s temi, ki se prepirajo z menoj. Bori se zoper te, ki se borijo zoper mene.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
Zgrabi za ščit in majhen ščit ter se dvigni v mojo pomoč.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
Izvleci tudi sulico in zapri pot zoper tiste, ki me preganjajo. Moji duši reci: »Jaz sem rešitev tvoje duše.«
4 Let them be ashamed and brought to dishonour that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.
Naj bodo zbegani in osramočeni tisti, ki strežejo po moji duši. Naj bodo obrnjeni nazaj in privedeni v zmedenost tisti, ki snujejo mojo bolečino.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of the LORD driving [them] on.
Naj bodo kakor pleve pred vetrom. Naj jih preganja Gospodov angel.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
Naj bo njihova pot temna in spolzka in naj jih preganja Gospodov angel.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul.
Kajti brez razloga so svojo mrežo skrili zame v jamo, ki so jo brez razloga izkopali za mojo dušo.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: with destruction let him fall therein.
Naj nadenj nenadoma pride uničenje in naj ga ujame njegova mreža, ki jo je nastavil, naj pade v točno takšno uničenje.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Moja duša pa bo radostna v Gospodu, veselila se bo v njegovi rešitvi duše.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
Vse moje kosti bodo rekle: » Gospod, kdo je podoben tebi, ki osvobajaš reveža pred tistim, ki je zanj premočan, da, reveža in pomoči potrebnega pred tistim, ki ga pleni?«
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
Vstale so krive priče, k moji obtožnici so položili stvari, ki jih nisem poznal.
12 They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereaving of my soul.
Nagradili so me [z] zlom za dobro, do plenjenja moje duše.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
Toda kar se mene tiče, ko so bili bolni, so bila moja oblačila vrečevina. Svojo dušo sem ponižal s postom in moja molitev se je vrnila v mojo lastno notranjost.
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.
Vêdel sem se, kakor da je bil on moj prijatelj ali brat. Močno sem se sklonil kakor nekdo, ki žaluje za svojo materjo.
15 But when I halted they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
Toda v moji nadlogi so se veselili in se zbirali skupaj. Da, podleži so se zbirali zoper mene, pa tega nisem vedel, trgali so me in niso odnehali,
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
s hinavskimi zasmehovalci so na pojedinah s svojimi zobmi škripali nad menoj.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
Gospod, doklej boš gledal? Mojo dušo reši pred njihovimi uničenji, mojo ljubljeno pred levi.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
Zahvaljeval se ti bom v veliki skupnosti. Hvalil te bom med mnogimi ljudmi.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Naj se tisti, ki so moji sovražniki, ne veselijo krivično nad menoj niti naj ne mežikajo z očesom tisti, ki me sovražijo brez razloga.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.
Kajti ne govorijo miru, temveč snujejo varljive zadeve zoper tiste, ki so v deželi mirni.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
Da, svoja usta so široko odprli proti meni in rekli: »Aha, aha, naše oko je to videlo.«
22 Thou hast seen it, O LORD; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
To si videl, oh Gospod. Ne molči. Oh Gospod, ne bodi daleč od mene.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Razvnemi se in prebudi se na mojo sodbo, celó za mojo zadevo, moj Bog in moj Gospod.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Sodi me, oh Gospod, moj Bog, glede na tvojo pravičnost in naj se ne veselijo nad menoj.
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Naj ne pravijo v svojih srcih: »Ah, tako smo to želeli.« Naj ne pravijo: »Požrli smo ga.«
26 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
Naj bodo osramočeni in skupaj privedeni v zmedenost tisti, ki se veselijo ob moji bolečini. Naj bodo tisti, ki se poveličujejo zoper mene, oblečeni z nečastjo in sramoto.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, The LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
Naj tisti, ki podpirajo mojo pravično zadevo, vzklikajo od veselja in bodo veseli. Da, naj nenehno govorijo: »Naj bo poveličan Gospod, ki ima veselje v uspevanju svojega služabnika.«
28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise all the day long.
Moj jezik pa bo ves dan govoril o tvoji pravičnosti in o tvoji hvali.
