Psalmi 10
1 Kāpēc Tu, Kungs, stāvi no tālienes, paslēpies bēdu laikā?
Lord, why are you so distant? Why do you hide from me in times of trouble?
2 No bezdievīgā lepnības bailes nāk nabagam; lai tie top gūstīti savās blēņās, ko tie izdomājuši.
The wicked chase down the poor with impunity. May they be trapped by the evil schemes they themselves invented.
3 Jo bezdievīgais lielās ar savas dvēseles kārību, plēsējs lād, viņš zaimo To Kungu.
For the wicked boast about what they want to do. They praise the greedy, but treat the Lord with contempt.
4 Bezdievīgais savā lielā lepnībā nebēdā par nevienu; visas viņa domas ir: Dieva neesam.
The wicked are too proud to come to God. In all their thinking they never consider God.
5 Viņa ceļi allažiņ izdodas, Tava sodība ir tālu no viņa; šņākdams viņš turas pret visiem saviem pretiniekiem.
What they do always seems to go well. They're unaware of God's judgments. They ridicule all their enemies.
6 Viņš saka savā sirdī: es netapšu kustināts, jo ļaunumā es nenākšu līdz radu radiem.
They tell themselves, “Nothing bad is going to happen to me. I'll never be in trouble!”
7 Viņa mute pilna lāstu un viltus un varmācības, apakš viņa mēles ir grūtums un bēdas.
Their speech is full of cursing, lies, and threats; their tongues are always ready to spread trouble and cause evil.
8 Viņš, sēž paslēpies aiz sētām, viņš nokauj nenoziedzīgo slepenās vietās, viņa acis glūn uz nabagu.
They hide out in ambush in the villages, ready to kill innocent passers-by. They are always on the lookout for their next victim.
9 Viņš glūn slepenībā kā lauva savā alā, viņš glūn sakampt bēdīgo, viņš sakampj bēdīgo, to ievilkdams savā tīklā.
They lie in ambush like a lion ready to attack, ready to leap out from their hiding place to seize their victim. They capture the helpless, throwing a net over them.
10 Viņš tup un nometās un uzkrīt ar varu nelaimīgiem.
Their victims are knocked down, laid low. They fall under the strength of the wicked.
11 Viņš saka savā sirdī: Dievs ir aizmirsis, Viņš Savu vaigu apslēpis, Viņš neredz ne mūžam.
They tell themselves, “God won't notice. He's looking the other way. He won't ever see anything.”
12 Celies, ak Dievs Kungs, pacel Savu roku, neaizmirsti bēdīgos.
Take a stand, Lord! Raise your hand to strike! Don't forget those who can't defend themselves.
13 Kādēļ bezdievīgais Dievu zaimos un sacīs savā sirdī: Tu nemeklēsi?
Why do the wicked think they can treat God with such contempt? Why do they think that God won't make them accountable?
14 Tu gan redzi, jo Tu uzlūko mokas un sirdēstus, likdams to Savās rokās; nelaimīgais uz Tevi paļaujas, Tu esi bāriņa palīgs.
But you do see the trouble and grief they cause. Take it into your own hands. The helpless trust in you; you defend the orphans.
15 Salauz bezdievīgā elkoni un meklē ļaunā bezdievību, ka to vairs neatrod.
Destroy the power of the wicked, those evil people! Call each of them to account until there are none left!
16 Tas Kungs ir ķēniņš mūžīgi mūžam; pagāni ir bojā gājuši no Viņa zemes,
Lord, you are King forever and ever! The nations will vanish from their lands.
17 Nabagu ilgošanos Tu klausi, ak Kungs! Tu viņiem sirdi stiprini, Tava auss to liek vērā,
Lord, you have heard the longing cries of those who are suffering. You will encourage them, for you will listen to them.
18 Tiesu nesdams bāriņam un apspiestam, lai cilvēks, kas no zemes, vairs nedara varas darbus.
You will defend the rights of orphans and the oppressed so that those who are mere human beings here on earth will never terrorize them again.
