Psalms 73
1 A psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those with a pure heart.
Ta dobar je Bog Izrailju, onima koji su èista srca.
2 But as for me, my feet almost slipped; my feet almost slipped out from under me
A noge moje umalo ne zaðoše, umalo ne popuznuše stopala moja,
3 because I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Jer se rasrdih na bezumnike videæi kako bezbožnici dobro žive.
4 For they have no pain until their death, but they are strong and well fed.
Jer ne znaju za nevolju do same smrti, i tijelo je njihovo pretilo.
5 They are free from the burdens of other men; they are not afflicted like other men.
Na poslovima èovjeèijim nema ih, i ne muèe se s drugim ljudima.
6 Pride adorns them like a necklace around their neck; violence clothes them like a robe.
Toga radi optoèeni su ohološæu kao ogrlicom, i obuèeni u obijest kao u stajaæe ruho.
7 Out of such blindness comes sin; evil thoughts pass through their hearts.
Od debljine izbuljeno im je oko, srce puno klape.
8 They mock and speak wickedly; in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
Potsmijevaju se, pakosno govore o nasilju, oholo govore.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongues march through the earth.
Usta svoja dižu u nebo, i zemlju prolazi jezik njihov.
10 Therefore his people turn to them and abundant waters are drained out.
I zato se onamo navraæaju neki iz naroda njegova, i piju vodu iz puna izvora.
11 They say, “How does God know? Is there knowledge with the Most High?”
I govore: kako æe razabrati Bog? zar višnji zna?
12 Take notice: these people are wicked; they are always carefree, becoming richer and richer.
Pa eto, ovi bezbožnici sreæni na svijetu umnožavaju bogatstvo.
13 Surely it is in vain that I have guarded my heart and washed my hands in innocence.
Zar dakle uzalud èistim srce svoje, i umivam bezazlenošæu ruke svoje,
14 For all the day long I have been afflicted and disciplined every morning.
Dopadam rana svaki dan, i muke svako jutro?
15 If I had said, “I will say these things,” then I would have betrayed this generation of your children.
Kad bih kazao: govoriæu kao i oni, iznevjerio bih rod sinova tvojih.
16 Though I tried to understand these things, it was too difficult for me.
I tako stadoh razmišljati da bih ovo razumio; ali to bješe teško u oèima mojima.
17 Then I went into God's sanctuary and came to understand their fate.
Dok najposlije uðoh u svetinju Božiju, i doznah kraj njihov.
18 Surely you put them in slippery places; you bring them down to ruin.
Ta na klizavom mjestu postavio si ih, i bacaš ih u propast!
19 How they become a wilderness in a moment! They come to an end and are finished in awful terrors.
Kako zaèas propadaju, ginu, nestaje ih od nenadne strahote!
20 They are like a dream after one wakes up; Lord, when you arise, you will think nothing of those dreams.
Kao san, kad se èovjek probudi, tako probudivši ih, Gospode, u ništa obraæaš utvaru njihovu.
21 For my heart was grieved, and I was deeply wounded.
Kad kipljaše srce moje i rastrzah se u sebi,
22 I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was like a senseless animal before you.
Tada bijah neznalica i ne razumijevah; kao živinèe bijah pred tobom.
23 Yet I am always with you; you hold my right hand.
Ali sam svagda kod tebe, ti me držiš za desnu ruku.
24 You will guide me with your advice and afterward receive me to glory.
Po svojoj volji vodiš me, i poslije æeš me odvesti u slavu.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you? There is no one on earth that I desire but you.
Koga imam na nebu? i s tobom nièega neæu na zemlji.
26 My flesh and my heart grow weak, but God is the strength of my heart forever.
Èezne za tobom tijelo moje i srce moje; Bog je grad srca mojega i dio moj dovijeka.
27 Those who are far from you will perish; you will destroy all those who are unfaithful to you.
Jer evo koji otstupiše od tebe, ginu; ti istrebljavaš svakoga koji èini preljubu ostavljajuæi tebe.
28 But as for me, all I need to do is to approach God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge. I will declare all your deeds.
A meni je dobro biti blizu Boga. Na Gospoda polažem nadanje svoje, i kazivaæu sva èudesa tvoja.
