Psalmi 74
1 Zašto se, Bože, srdiš na nas dugo; dimi se gnjev tvoj na ovce paše tvoje?
Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Opomeni se sabora svojega, koji si stekao od starine, iskupio sebi u našljednu državu, gore Siona, na kojoj si se naselio.
Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [And] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Podigni stope svoje na stare razvaline: sve je razrušio neprijatelj u svetinji.
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4 Rièu neprijatelji tvoji na mjestu sabora tvojih, svoje obièaje postavljaju mjesto naših obièaja.
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5 Vidiš, oni su kao onaj koji podiže sjekiru na spletene grane u drveta.
They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
6 Sve u njemu što je rezano razbiše sjekirama i bradvama.
And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
7 Ognjem sažegoše svetinju tvoju; na zemlju obalivši oskvrniše stan imena tvojega.
They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name [by casting it] to the ground.
8 Rekoše u srcu svojem: potrimo ih sasvijem. Popališe sva mjesta sabora Božijih na zemlji.
They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 Obièaja svojih ne vidimo, nema više proroka, i nema u nas ko bi znao dokle æe to trajati.
We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 Dokle æe se, Bože, rugati nasilnik? hoæe li dovijeka protivnik prkositi imenu tvojemu?
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11 Zašto ustavljaš ruku svoju i desnicu svoju? Pruži iz njedara svojih, i istrijebi ih.
Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [Pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
12 Bože, care moj, koji od starine tvoriš spasenje posred zemlje!
Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Ti si silom svojom raskinuo more, i satro glave vodenim nakazama.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14 Ti si razmrskao glavu krokodilu, dao ga onima koji žive u pustinji da ga jedu.
Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Ti si otvorio izvore i potoke, ti si isušio rijeke koje ne presišu.
Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16 Tvoj je dan i tvoja je noæ, ti si postavio zvijezde i sunce.
The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Ti si utvrdio sve krajeve zemaljske, ljeto i zimu ti si uredio.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Opomeni se toga, neprijatelj se ruga Gospodu, i narod bezumni ne mari za ime tvoje.
Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
19 Ne daj zvijerima duše grlice svoje, nemoj zaboraviti stada stradalaca svojih zasvagda.
Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
20 Pogledaj na zavjet; jer su sve peæine zemaljske pune stanova bezakonja.
Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
21 Nevoljnik nek se ne vrati sramotan, ništi i ubogi neka hvale ime tvoje.
Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22 Ustani, Bože, brani stvar svoju, opomeni se kako ti se bezumnik ruga svaki dan!
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
23 Ne zaboravi obijesti neprijatelja svojih, vike, koju jednako dižu protivnici tvoji!
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
