Psalmi 94
1 Kungs, Dievs, Tu atriebējs, ak Tu stiprais Dievs, Tu atriebējs, parādies!
The Lord is a God of vengeance! God of vengeance, shine out!
2 Celies, Tu pasaules soģi, atmaksā tiem lepniem pēc viņu nopelna.
Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.
3 Cik ilgi tiem bezdievīgiem, Kungs, cik ilgi tiem bezdievīgiem būs priecāties?
How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?
4 Pārplūstot tie runā pārgalvīgi, un visi ļaundarītāji greznojās.
How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?
5 Ak, Kungs, tie samin Tavus ļaudis un nospiež Tavu īpašumu,
Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.
6 Atraitnes un svešiniekus tie nokauj un nomaitā bāriņus,
They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
7 Un saka: Tas Kungs to neredz, un Jēkaba Dievs to nemana.
They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”
8 Ņemiet vērā, jūs bezprātīgie starp tiem ļaudīm, un jūs ģeķi, kad jūs paliksiet gudri?
Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?
9 Kas ausi ir dēstījis, vai tas nedzirdēs? Kas aci darījis, vai tas neredzēs?
Do you think the creator of the ear can't hear? Do you think the maker of the eye can't see?
10 Kas tautas pārmāca, vai tas nesodīs? Tas, kas cilvēkiem māca atzīšanu,
Do you think that the one who punishes nations won't punish you too? Do you think that the one who teaches human beings knowledge doesn't know anything?
11 Tas Kungs zin cilvēku domas, ka tās ir nelietīgas.
The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.
12 Svētīgs tas vīrs, ko Tu, Kungs, pārmāci, un kam Tu māci Savu bauslību,
Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
13 To mierināt bēdu dienās, tiekams bezdievīgam bedri raks.
You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
14 Jo Tas Kungs neatstums Savus ļaudis un nepametīs Savu mantas tiesu.
For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
15 Jo pie taisnības jāgriežas tiesai, un tam piekritīs visi sirdsskaidrie.
Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
16 Kas mani aizstāv pret netaisniem? Un kas man stāv klāt pret ļaundarītājiem?
Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
17 Ja Tas Kungs nebūtu mans palīgs, tad gan mana dvēsele drīz gulētu klusumā.
If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
18 Kad es jau sacītu: kāja man slīd, tad Tava žēlastība, ak Kungs, mani tur.
I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
19 Kad man daudz sirdēstu, tad Tava iepriecināšana ielīksmo manu dvēseli.
When my mind was full of worries, you comforted me and encouraged me.
20 Vai Tu biedrs būtu tam posta krēslam, kas blēdību izperē taisnības vietā? -
Can unjust judges really be on your side, Lord, when their corrupt use of the law causes misery?
21 Tie sapulcējās pret taisnā dvēseli un pazudina nenoziedzīgas asinis.
They work together to destroy good people; they condemn those who are innocent to death.
22 Bet Tas Kungs ir mans patvērums, un mans Dievs mana pils, kur glābjos.
But the Lord protects me like a fortress; my God is the rock that keeps me safe.
23 Un Viņš tiem atmaksās viņu noziegumu un tos izdeldēs viņu blēdībā. Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, tos izdeldēs.
He will turn the wickedness of evil people back upon them; he will destroy them because of their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
