Psalms 68
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let them also that 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 is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Kao što dim iščezava, i njih neka nestane! Kako se vosak topi na ognju, nek' nestane grešnika pred licem Božjim!
3 But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
Pravedni neka se raduju, neka klikću pred Bogom, neka kliču od radosti.
4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; his name is JAH; and exult ye before him.
Pjevajte Bogu, slavite mu ime! Poravnajte put onome koji ide pustinjom - kojemu je ime Jahve - i kličite pred njim!
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Otac sirota, branitelj udovica, Bog je u svom svetom šatoru.
6 God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
Napuštene okućit će Jahve, sužnjima pružit' sretnu slobodu: buntovnici samo ostaše u sažganoj pustinji.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
Kad si stupao, Bože, pred narodom svojim, dok si prolazio pustinjom,
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: [even] yon Sinai [trembled] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
tresla se zemlja, nebo se rosilo pred Bogom, Sinaj drhtao pred Bogom, Bogom Izraela.
9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
Blagoslovljen dažd pustio si, Bože, na baštinu svoju, okrijepio je umornu.
10 Thy congregation dwelt therein: thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.
Stado se tvoje nastani u njoj, u dobroti, Bože, ti je spremi siromahu.
11 The Lord giveth the word: the women that publish the tidings are a great host.
Jahve riječ zadaje, veliko je mnoštvo radosnih vjesnika:
12 Kings of armies flee, they flee: and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
kraljevi vojska bježe te bježe, domaćice plijen dijele.
13 Will ye lie among the sheepfolds, [as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her pinions with yellow gold?
Dok vi počivaste među stadima, krila golubice zablistaše srebrom, a njeno perje žućkastim zlatom:
14 When the Almighty scattered kings therein, [it was as when] it snoweth in Zalmon.
ondje Svemogući razbijaše kraljeve, a ona poput snijega zablista na Salmonu.
15 A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; an high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
Božanska je gora gora bašanska vrletna.
16 Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, at the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.
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 twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: the Lord is among them, [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary.
Božja su kola bezbrojna, tisuću tisuća: Jahve sa Sinaja u Svetište dolazi!
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led [thy] captivity captive; thou hast received gifts among men, yea, [among] the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell [with them].
Na visinu uzađe vodeći sužnje, na dar si ljude primio, pa i one što ne žele prebivati kod Boga.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Blagoslovljen Jahve dan za danom, nosi nas Bog, naš Spasitelj.
20 God is unto us a God of deliverances; and unto JEHOVAH the Lord belong the issues from death.
Bog naš jest Bog koji spasava, Jahve od smrti izbavlja.
21 But God shall smite through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
Zaista, Bog će satrti glave dušmana svojih, kuštravo tjeme onog što hodi u grijesima.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depths of the sea:
Reče Gospodin: “Iz Bašana ću ih dovesti, dovest ću ih iz dubine mora,
23 That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood, that the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from [thine] enemies.
da okupaš nogu u krvi, da jezici tvojih pasa imadnu dio od dušmana.”
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
Ulazak ti, Bože, gledaju, ulazak moga Boga i Kralja u Svetište:
25 The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, in the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
sprijeda pjevači, za njima svirači, u sredini djevojke s bubnjićima.
26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, [ye that are] of the fountain of Israel.
“U svečanim zborovima slavite Boga, slavite Jahvu, sinovi Izraelovi!”
27 There is little Benjamin their ruler, the princes of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
Predvodi ih najmlađi, Benjamin, koji ide pred njima, ondje su knezovi Judini sa četama svojim, knezovi Zebulunovi i knezovi Naftalijevi.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Pokaži, Bože, silu svoju, silu kojom se, Bože, boriš za nas
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem kings shall bring presents unto thee.
iz Hrama svojega u Jeruzalemu! Nek' ti kraljevi darove donose!
30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, trampling under foot the pieces of silver; he hath scattered the peoples that delight 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 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.
Nek' dođu velikani iz Egipta, Etiopija nek' pruži ruke Bogu!
32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
Sva kraljevstva svijeta, pjevajte Bogu, slavite Jahvu,
33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which are of old; lo, he uttereth his voice, [and that] a mighty voice.
koji se vozi po nebu, po nebu iskonskom! Čuj, glasom grmi, glasom svojim silnim:
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.
“Priznajte silu Božju!” Nad Izraelom veličanstvo njegovo, u oblacima (sila) njegova!
35 O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed be God.
Strašan je Bog iz svojega Svetišta. Bog Izraelov daje moć i silu narodu svojemu. Blagoslovljen Bog!
