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 purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this 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 desolations; [even] all [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Rièu neprijatelji tvoji na mjestu sabora tvojih, svoje obièaje postavljaju mjesto naših obièaja.
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns [for] signs.
5 Vidiš, oni su kao onaj koji podiže sjekiru na spletene grane u drveta.
[A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 Sve u njemu što je rezano razbiše sjekirama i bradvama.
But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 Ognjem sažegoše svetinju tvoju; na zemlju obalivši oskvrniše stan imena tvojega.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8 Rekoše u srcu svojem: potrimo ih sasvijem. Popališe sva mjesta sabora Božijih na zemlji.
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: 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?
O God, how long 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 withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck [it] out of thy bosom.
12 Bože, care moj, koji od starine tvoriš spasenje posred zemlje!
For 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 dragons 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, [and] gavest him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Ti si otvorio izvore i potoke, ti si isušio rijeke koje ne presišu.
Thou didst cleave the fountain and the 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 LORD, and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19 Ne daj zvijerima duše grlice svoje, nemoj zaboraviti stada stradalaca svojih zasvagda.
O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude [of the wicked: ] forget not the congregation 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 cruelty.
21 Nevoljnik nek se ne vrati sramotan, ništi i ubogi neka hvale ime tvoje.
O 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 daily.
23 Ne zaboravi obijesti neprijatelja svojih, vike, koju jednako dižu protivnici tvoji!
Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
