Psalms 94
1 Yahweh, you are able to get revenge [on your enemies]. [So] show them that you are going to punish them!
Herra Jumala, jonka kostot ovat, Jumala, jonka kostot ovat, selkiästi itses näytä.
2 You are the one who judges all [people on] the earth; [so] arise, and give/punish the proud [leaders of our] people like they deserve.
Korota sinuas, maailman tuomari: maksa ylpeille, mitä he ansainneet ovat.
3 Yahweh, how long will those wicked [people] be glad/happy? It is not right that [RHQ] they continue being glad!
Herra, kuinka kauvan pitää jumalattomain, kuinka kauvan pitää jumalattomain riemuitseman?
4 They do evil things, and they boast about doing them; how long will they [be allowed to] continue doing that?
Tiuskuman ja puhuman niin ylpiästi, ja kaikki pahantekiät niin kerskaaman?
5 Yahweh, [it is as though] those wicked people crush [us], your people; they (oppress/treat cruelly) those who belong to you [DOU].
Herra, he polkevat alas sinun kansas, ja sinun perimistäs he vaivaavat.
6 They murder widows and orphans and people from other countries who [think it is safe to] live in our land.
Lesket ja muukalaiset he tappavat, ja orvot he kuolettavat,
7 Those wicked people say, “Yahweh does not see anything; [so] the God whom those Israelis [worship] does not see [the evil things that we do].”
Ja sanovat: ei Herra sitä näe, ja Jakobin Jumala ei sitä tottele.
8 You evil people [who rule Israel], you are foolish and stupid; when will you become wise [RHQ]?
Ymmärtäkäät siis, te hullut kansan seassa! ja, te tyhmät, koska te taitaviksi tulette?
9 God made our ears; so [do you think that] he cannot hear [what you say] [RHQ]? He created our eyes; so do you think that he cannot see [the evil things that you do] [RHQ]?
Joka korvan on istuttanut, eikö hän kuule? eli joka silmän loi, eikö hän näe?
10 He also scolds [the leaders of other] nations; so do you think that he will not punish [you] [RHQ]? He is the one who knows everything; [so why do you think that he does not know what you do] [RHQ]?
Joka pakanoita kurittaa, eikö hän rankaise, joka ihmisille opettaa tiedon?
11 Yahweh knows [everything] that people are thinking; he knows that what they think ([is useless/vanishes as quickly as]) smoke [MET].
Mutta Herra tietää ihmisten ajatukset, että ne turhat ovat.
12 Yahweh, you are pleased with people who [want you to] discipline/correct them, those who [want you to] teach them your laws.
Autuas on se, jota sinä, Herra, kuritat, ja opetat sinun laistas,
13 When those people have had troubles, you cause those troubles to cease, and some day [it will be as though] you will dig pits for wicked people, and they will fall into those pits [and die].
Että hänellä kärsivällisyys olis, koska vastoin käy, siihenasti kuin jumalattomalle hauta valmistetaan.
14 Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert like that those who belong to him [DOU].
Sillä ei Herra heitä kansaansa pois, eli hylkää perimistänsä.
15 [Some day] judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest/righteous people will be pleased about that.
Sillä oikeuden pitää sittekin oikeuden oleman, ja kaikki hurskaat sydämet sitä seuraavat.
16 But when wicked [people] ([oppressed me/treated me cruelly]), (who defended me?/no one defended me.) [RHQ] No one stood up to testify for me against those evil people [RHQ].
Kuka seisoo minun kanssani pahoja vastaan? kuka astuu minun tyköni pahointekiöitä vastaan?
17 If Yahweh had not helped me [at that time], [I would have been executed], [and] my soul/spirit would have gone to the place where [dead people] say nothing.
Ellei Herra minua auttaisi, niin minun sieluni makais lähes hiljaisuudessa.
18 I said/thought [to myself], “I am about to die,” but Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.
Minä sanoin: minun jalkani on horjunut, vaan sinun armos, Herra, minun tukesi.
19 Whenever I am very worried, you comfort/encourage me and cause me to be happy.
Minulla oli paljo surua sydämessäni; mutta sinun lohdutukses ilahutti minun sieluni.
20 You have nothing to do with wicked judges, who establish laws that allow people to do what is not legal.
Etpäs mielisty koskaan tosin vahingolliseen istuimeen, joka lain häijysti opettaa.
21 They plan to get rid of righteous [people], and they declare that (innocent people/people who have not done what is wrong) must be executed.
He kokoovat joukkonsa vanhurskaan sielua vastaan, ja tuomitsevat viattoman veren kadotukseen,
22 But Yahweh (has become [like] my fortress/protects me) [MET]; my God is [like a huge] rock under which I am protected/safe [MET].
Mutta Herra on minun varjelukseni: minun Jumalani on minun uskallukseni turva,
23 He will punish those wicked leaders in return for the wicked things that they have done, and will get rid of them for the sins that they have committed; [yes], Yahweh our God will (wipe them out/destroy them completely).
Ja hän kostaa heidän vääryytensä, ja hukuttaa heitä heidän pahuutensa tähden: Herra, meidän Jumalamme, hukuttaa heitä.
