Psalms 38

1 A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Psalam. Davidov. Za spomen. Jahve, u srdžbi svojoj nemoj ne karati, i nemoj me kazniti u svojemu gnjevu.

2 For thy arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand falleth heavy upon me.

Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:

3 [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thy anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.

na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema zbog gnjeva tvog, od grijeha mojih mira mi nema kostima.

4 For my iniquities have gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.

5 My wounds are offensive, [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.

Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

7 For my loins are filled with a lothsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.

Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.

8 I am feeble and grievously broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.

9 LORD, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.

10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of my eyes, that also is gone from me.

Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.

12 They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.

13 But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.

A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.

14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.

Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.

15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O LORD my God.

Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!

16 For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.

Rekoh: “Nek' se ne raduju nada mnom; kad mi noga posrne, nek' se ne uzdižu nada mnom!”

17 For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.

Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.

18 For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.

19 But my enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.

20 They also that render evil for good are my adversaries; because I follow [the thing that is] good.

Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.

21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!

22 Make haste to help me, O LORD my salvation.

Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!
