Psalms 10
1 Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
Zakaj stojiš daleč stran, oh Gospod? Zakaj se skrivaš v časih stiske?
2 Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
Zlobni v svojem ponosu preganjajo revnega. Naj se ujamejo v naklepe, ki so si jih domislili.
3 Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
Kajti zlobni se baha z željo svojega srca in blagoslavlja pohlepnega, ki ga Gospod prezira.
4 The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. 'God is not!' [are] all his devices.
Zlobni zaradi ponosa svojega obličja ne bo povpraševal po Bogu. V vseh njegovih mislih ni Boga.
5 Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries — he puffeth at them.
Njegove poti so vedno boleče, tvoje sodbe so daleč zgoraj izven njegovega pogleda. Glede na vse njegove sovražnike on puha nanje.
6 He hath said in his heart, 'I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.
V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ne bom omajan, kajti nikoli ne bom v nadlogi.«
7 Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
Njegova usta so polna preklinjanj, prevare in sleparstva. Pod njegovim jezikom je vragolija in prazne reči.
8 He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
Sedi v skrivališčih vasi. Na skrivnih krajih mori nedolžnega. Njegove oči so na skrivaj naravnane zoper revnega.
9 He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
Na skrivnem preži kakor lev v svojem brlogu. Leži na preži, da ujame revnega. Revnega ujame, ko ga vleče v svojo mrežo.
10 He is bruised — he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
Klečeplazi in se ponižuje, da lahko revni pade po njegovih močnih.
11 He said in his heart, 'God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'
V svojem srcu je rekel: »Bog je pozabil. Skriva svoj obraz, tega nikoli ne bo videl.«
12 Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
Vstani, oh Gospod, oh Bog, dvigni svojo roko. Ne pozabi ponižnega.
13 Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, 'It is not required.'
Zakaj zlobni zaničuje Boga? V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ti tega ne boš zahteval.«
14 Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
To si videl, kajti gledaš vragolijo in zlobnost, da to poplačaš s svojo roko. Revni se ti izroča, pomočnik si osirotelemu.
15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
Zlomi laket zlobnemu in zlemu človeku. Preiskuj njegovo zlobnost, dokler je ne najdeš več.
16 Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
Gospod je Kralj na veke vekov. Pogani so izginili iz njegove dežele.
17 The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
Gospod, slišal si hrepenenje ponižnih. Pripravil boš njihovo srce, svojemu ušesu boš povzročil, da sliši,
18 To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress — man of the earth!
da razsodiš osirotelega in zatiranega, da človek iz zemlje ne more več zatirati.
