Psalms 7
1 Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me. Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me [in order to harm me].
Oh Gospod, moj Bog, vate polagam svoje trdno upanje. Reši me pred vsemi temi, ki me preganjajo in me osvobodi.
2 If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces like a lion does [when it attacks the animals it wants to kill], and no one will save me [from them].
Da ne bi moje duše razkosali kakor lev, ki jo raztrga na koščke, medtem ko ni nobenega, da osvobodi.
3 Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
Oh Gospod, moj Bog, če sem to storil, če je krivičnost v mojih rokah,
4 if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me, or if, for no good reason, I have spared (OR, acted violently toward) those who were my enemies,
če sem z zlom nagradil tistega, ki je bil z menoj v miru (da, osvobodil sem tistega, ki je brez vzroka moj sovražnik),
5 allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me [SYN] [lying dead] in the dirt.
naj sovražnik preganja mojo dušo in jo vzame; da, naj moje življenje pomendra na zemlji in mojo čast položi v prah. (Sela)
6 But Yahweh, because you are [very] angry [with those who pursue me], arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily [attacking me] Do to them what is just!
Vstani, oh Gospod, v svoji jezi, vzdigni se zaradi besa mojih sovražnikov. Prebudi se zame k sodbi, ki si jo zapovedal.
7 Gather around you the people of [all] nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven [MTY].
Tako te bo obdajala skupnost ljudstva. Zaradi njih se torej vrni na višavo.
8 Yahweh, judge the people of [all] nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.
Gospod bo sodil ljudstvo. Sodi me, oh Gospod, glede na mojo pravičnost in glede na mojo neokrnjenost, ki je v meni.
9 God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you [always] do what is just/right. [So now] stop evil people from doing wicked [deeds], and defend [all of us who are] righteous!
O naj zlobnost zlobnih pride h koncu; toda utrdi pravičnega. Kajti pravičnim Bog preizkuša srca in notranjosti.
10 God, you protect me like a shield [protects soldiers] [MET]; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.
Moja obramba je od Boga, ki rešuje iskrene v srcu.
11 You judge [everyone] correctly, and every day you punish [wicked people].
Bog sodi pravičnega in Bog je vsak dan jezen na zlobnega.
12 Whenever your enemies do not (repent/change their behavior), [it is as though] [MET] you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow [to get ready to kill them].
Če se ta ne spreobrne, bo nabrusil svoj meč, upognil je svoj lok in ga pripravil.
13 You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
Prav tako je zanj pripravil orodja smrti, svoje puščice je določil zoper preganjalce.
14 Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do [MET] the evil things that they are planning to do [just as surely as] a pregnant woman [knows that she is going to give birth to a child] [MET].
Glej, muči se s krivičnostjo in spočel je vragolijo in obrodil neresnico.
15 But when they dig a deep pit [to trap others], they themselves will fall into it.
Naredil je jamo in jo izkopal in padel v jarek, ki ga je naredil.
16 They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
Njegova vragolija se bo vrnila na njegovo lastno glavo in njegovo nasilno delovanje bo prišlo na njegovo lastno tême.
17 I praise Yahweh because he [always acts] righteously/justly; I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
Hvalil bom Gospoda glede na njegovo pravičnost. Prepeval bom hvalo imenu Gospoda najvišjega.
