Psalms 31
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Tebi se, Jahve, utječem, o, da se ne postidim nikada: u svojoj me pravdi izbavi!
2 Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
Prikloni k meni uho svoje, pohiti da me oslobodiš! Budi mi hrid zaštite, tvrđava spasenja.
3 Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
Jer ti si hrid moja, tvđava moja, radi svoga imena vodi me i ravnaj.
4 You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
Izvuci me iz mreže koju mi zapeše, jer ti si moje utočište.
5 Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
U tvoje ruke duh svoj predajem: otkupi me, Jahve, Bože vjerni.
6 Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
Ti mrziš one koji štuju ništavne kumire, a ja se u Jahvu uzdam.
7 I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
Radosno ću klicat' tvojoj milosti, jer si na moju bijedu pogledao, pomogao u tjeskobi duši mojoj.
8 You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
Nisi me predao u ruke dušmana, noge si mi na prostran put izveo.
9 [But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
Smiluj mi se, Jahve, jer sam u tjeskobi, od jada slabi mi oko, duša i tijelo.
10 I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
Život mi se troši u gorčini, ljeta moja u jecanju. U muci mi se iscrpila snaga i kosti su moje klonule.
11 All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
Dušmanima svojim postao sam ruglo, susjedima podsmijeh, a znancima strašilo; koji me vide vani, bježe od mene.
12 People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
Nestalo me k'o mrtvaca iz sjećanja ljudi, postadoh k'o razbijena posuda.
13 I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
Čujem šaputanje mnogih, užas odasvud: sastaju se protiv mene i smišljaju kako da mi život oduzmu.
14 But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
A ja se, Jahve, u tebe uzdam; govorim: Ti si Bog moj!
15 My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
U tvojoj je ruci sudbina moja: istrgni me iz ruke dušmana i onih koji me progone!
16 Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
Rasvijetli lice nad slugom svojim, po svojoj me dobroti spasi.
17 Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Jahve, ne bilo me stid što tebe zazvah! Neka se postide zlotvori, nek' u Podzemlju zamuknu. (Sheol h7585)
18 I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
Nek' zanijeme usne lažljive koje protiv pravednika govore drsko, oholo i prezirno.
19 You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
O, kako je velika, Jahve, tvoja dobrota, koju čuvaš za one koji te se boje, koju iskazuješ onima što se tebi utječu naočigled sinovima čovječjim.
20 You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
Zaklanjaš ih štitom lica svoga od zavjera ljudskih; u šatoru svom ih skrivaš od jezika svadljivih.
21 Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
Blagoslovljen Jahve jer me obasu čudesnom dobrotom u gradu tvrdom.
22 I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
U tjeskobi svojoj već mišljah: “Odbačen sam od pogleda tvoga.” Ali ti si čuo glas mog zaziva dok sam tebi vapio.
23 You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
Ljubite Jahvu, svi sveti njegovi: čuva Jahve svoje vjernike, a po zasluzi vraća onima koji postupaju oholo.
24 You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
Budite hrabri i jaka srca, svi koji se u Jahvu uzdate!
