< Psalms 116 >
1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore 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, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol )
Užeta smrti sapeše me, stegoše me zamke Podzemlja, snašla me muka i tjeskoba. (Sheol )
4 Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”
Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
11 I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”
U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits towards me?
Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.
Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
15 Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his holy ones.
Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.
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 LORD’s name.
Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people,
Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
