Psalms 116
1 I love Yahweh because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
2 Because he listened to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, and the snares of Sheol confronted me; I felt anguish and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
Užeta smrti sapeše me, stegoše me zamke Podzemlja, snašla me muka i tjeskoba. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please Yahweh, rescue my life.”
Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
5 Yahweh is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
6 Yahweh protects the naive; I was brought low, and he saved me.
Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
7 My soul can return to its resting place, for Yahweh has been good to me.
Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
8 For you rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
9 I will serve Yahweh in the land of the living.
Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
10 I believed in him, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
11 In my confusion I said, “All men are liars.”
U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
12 How can I repay Yahweh for all his kindnesses to me?
Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
13 I will raise the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.
Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
14 I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
16 Yahweh, indeed, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your servant woman; you have taken away my bonds.
Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Yahweh.
Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
18 I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
19 in the courts of Yahweh's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
