Psalms 107
1 Give thanks to Yahweh, because he always does good [things for us] His faithful love [for us] lasts forever!
Hvalite Gospoda, jer je dobar; jer je dovijeka milost njegova.
2 Those whom Yahweh has saved should tell others that he has rescued them from their enemies.
Tako neka reku koje je izbavio Gospod, koje je izbavio iz ruke neprijateljeve,
3 He has gathered [those of you] who were [(exiled/taken forcefully)] to many lands; [he has gathered you together from] the east and the west, from the north and from the south.
Skupio ih iz zemalja, od istoka i zapada, od sjevera i mora.
4 Some of those [who returned from those countries] wandered in the desert; they were lost and had no homes to live in.
Lutaše po pustinji gdje se ne živi, puta gradu naseljenome ne nahodiše;
5 They were hungry and thirsty, and they were very discouraged.
Bjehu gladni i žedni, i duša njihova iznemagaše u njima;
6 When they were in trouble, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from (being distressed/their difficulties).
Ali zavikaše ka Gospodu u tuzi svojoj; i izbavi ih iz nevolje njihove.
7 He led them along a straight road [where they walked safely] to cities [in Canaan] where they could live.
I izvede ih na prav put, koji ide u grad naseljeni.
8 They should praise/thank Yahweh for loving them faithfully and for the wonderful things that he does for people.
Neka hvale Gospoda za milost njegovu, i za èudesa njegova radi sinova ljudskih!
9 He gives thirsty people plenty [of water] to drink, and he gives hungry people plenty of good things [to eat].
Jer siti dušu taštu, i dušu gladnu puni dobra.
10 Some of them were in very dark [HEN] (places [in Babylonia/other countries]); they were prisoners, suffering because of chains [fastened to their hands and feet].
Sjedješe u tami i u sjenu smrtnom, okovani u tugu i u gvožðe;
11 They were in prison because they had (rebelled against/not obeyed) the message of God; they were there because they had despised the advice given by God, who is greater than all other gods.
Jer ne slušaše rijeèi Božijih, i ne mariše za volju višnjega.
12 [That is why] their bodies were worn out from hard labor; when they fell down, there was no one who would help them.
On poništi srce njihovo stradanjem; spotakoše se, i ne bješe ko da pomože.
13 In their troubles, they called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their being distressed.
Ali zavikaše ka Gospodu u tuzi svojoj, i izbavi ih iz nevolje njihove;
14 He broke the chains that were on their hands and feet; and brought them out of those very dark [prisons].
Izvede ih iz tame i sjena smrtnoga, i raskide okove njihove.
15 He broke down the [prison] gates that were made of bronze, and cut through the [prison] bars that were made of iron. [So they also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
Neka hvale Gospoda za milost njegovu, i za èudesa njegova radi sinova ljudskih!
Jer razbi vrata mjedena, i prijevornice gvozdene slomi.
17 Some of them foolishly rebelled [against God], so they suffered for their sins.
Bezumnici stradaše za nevaljale putove svoje, i za nepravde svoje.
18 They did not want to eat any food, and they almost died.
Svako se jelo gadilo duši njihovoj, i doðoše do vrata smrtnijeh.
19 In their troubles, they [also] called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their being distressed.
Ali zavikaše ka Gospodu u tuzi svojoj, i izbavi ih iz nevolje njihove.
20 When he commanded that they be healed, they were healed; he saved them from dying.
Posla rijeè svoju i iscijeli ih, i izbavi ih iz groba njihova.
21 They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving them, and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
Neka hvale Gospoda za milost njegovu, i za èudesa njegova radi sinova ljudskih!
22 They should give offerings to him to show that they are thankful, and they should sing joyfully about the miracles that he has performed.
I neka prinesu žrtvu za hvalu, i kazuju djela njegova u pjesmama!
23 Some of them sailed in ships; they were selling things [in ports] throughout the world.
Koji plove po moru na korabljima, i rade na velikim vodama,
24 [As they were sailing], they also saw the miracles that Yahweh performed, the wonderful things that he did [when they were] on very deep seas.
Oni su vidjeli djela Gospodnja, i èudesa njegova u dubini.
25 He commanded the winds, and they became strong and (stirred up high waves/caused waves to rise high).
Kaže, i diže se silan vjetar, i ustaju vali na njemu,
26 The ships [in which they were sailing] were tossed high in the air, and [then] they sank into the (troughs/low places) [between the high waves]; then the sailors were terrified.
Dižu se do nebesa i spuštaju do bezdana: duša se njihova u nevolji razliva;
27 They stumbled about and staggered like drunken men, and they did not know what to do.
Posræu i ljuljaju se kao pijani; sve mudrosti njihove nestaje.
28 In their troubles, they [also] called out to Yahweh, and he rescued them from their distresses.
Ali zavikaše ka Gospodu u tuzi svojoj, i izvede ih iz nevolje njihove.
29 He (calmed the storm/caused the wind to stop blowing), and he caused the waves to completely subside.
On obraæa vjetar u tišinu, i vali njihovi umuknu.
30 They were [very] glad when it became calm; and Yahweh brought them safely into a harbor.
Vesele se kad se stišaju, i vodi ih u pristanište koje žele.
31 They [also] should praise/thank Yahweh for faithfully loving [them], and for [all] the wonderful things that he does for people.
Neka hvale Gospoda za milost njegovu, i za èudesa njegova radi sinova ljudskih!
32 They should praise him among the [Israeli] people when they have gathered together, and they should praise him in front of the leaders [of the country].
Neka ga uzvišuju na saboru narodnom, na skupštini starješinskoj slave ga!
33 [Sometimes] Yahweh causes rivers [to become dry], [with the result that the land] becomes a desert, and springs of water become dry land.
On pretvara rijeke u pustinju, i izvore vodene u suhotu,
34 [Sometimes] he causes land that has produced lots of crops to become salty wastelands, [with the result that they do not produce crops]. He does that because the people who live there are [very] wicked.
Rodnu zemlju u slanu pustaru za nevaljalstvo onijeh koji žive na njoj.
35 [But sometimes] he causes pools of water to appear in deserts, and he causes springs to flow in very dry ground.
On pretvara pustinju u jezera, i suhu zemlju u izvore vodene,
36 He brings hungry [people] into that land, to live there and build cities [there].
I naseljava onamo gladne. Oni zidaju gradove za življenje;
37 They plant seeds in their fields, and they plant grapevines that produce big crops [of grapes].
Siju polja, sade vinograde i sabiraju ljetinu.
38 He blesses the people, and the women give birth to many children, and they have large herds of cattle.
Blagosilja ih i množe se jako, i stoke im ne umaljuje.
39 When the number of people becomes smaller and they have been humiliated [by their enemies] by being oppressed and caused to suffer [DOU],
Prije ih bijaše malo, padahu od zla i nevolje, što ih stizaše.
40 Yahweh shows contempt for the leaders who oppress them, and causes them to wander in deserts where there are no roads.
On sipa sramotu na knezove, i ostavlja ih da lutaju po pustinji gdje nema putova.
41 But he rescues poor [people] from (being in misery/suffering), and causes their families [to increase in number] like flocks of sheep.
On izvlaèi ubogoga iz nevolje, i plemena množi kao stado.
42 Godly/Righteous [people will (see/hear about)] these things, and they will rejoice, and wicked people [will hear about these things, too], [but] they will have nothing to say in reply.
Dobri vide i raduju se, a svako nevaljalstvo zatiskuje usta svoja.
43 Those who are wise should think carefully about those things; they should consider [all the things] that Yahweh [has done to show that he] faithfully loves [them].
Ko je mudar, neka zapamti ovo, i neka poznadu milosti Gospodnje.
