Psalmi 74
1 Zašto se, Bože, srdiš na nas dugo; dimi se gnjev tvoj na ovce paše tvoje?
[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Therefore have you rejected [us], O God, for ever? [therefore] is your wrath kindled against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Opomeni se sabora svojega, koji si stekao od starine, iskupio sebi u našljednu državu, gore Siona, na kojoj si se naselio.
Remember your congregation which you have purchased from the beginning; you did ransom the rod of your inheritance; this mount Sion wherein you have lived.
3 Podigni stope svoje na stare razvaline: sve je razrušio neprijatelj u svetinji.
Lift up your hands against their pride continually; [because of] all that the enemy has done wickedly in your holy places.
4 Rièu neprijatelji tvoji na mjestu sabora tvojih, svoje obièaje postavljaju mjesto naših obièaja.
And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your feast; they have set up their standards for signs,
5 Vidiš, oni su kao onaj koji podiže sjekiru na spletene grane u drveta.
ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
6 Sve u njemu što je rezano razbiše sjekirama i bradvama.
they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
7 Ognjem sažegoše svetinju tvoju; na zemlju obalivši oskvrniše stan imena tvojega.
They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name.
8 Rekoše u srcu svojem: potrimo ih sasvijem. Popališe sva mjesta sabora Božijih na zemlji.
They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
9 Obièaja svojih ne vidimo, nema više proroka, i nema u nas ko bi znao dokle æe to trajati.
We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more.
10 Dokle æe se, Bože, rugati nasilnik? hoæe li dovijeka protivnik prkositi imenu tvojemu?
How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke your name forever?
11 Zašto ustavljaš ruku svoju i desnicu svoju? Pruži iz njedara svojih, i istrijebi ih.
Therefore turn you away your hand, and your right hand from the midst of your bosom for ever?
12 Bože, care moj, koji od starine tvoriš spasenje posred zemlje!
But God is our King of old; he has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Ti si silom svojom raskinuo more, i satro glave vodenim nakazama.
You did establish the sea, in your might, you did break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water.
14 Ti si razmrskao glavu krokodilu, dao ga onima koji žive u pustinji da ga jedu.
You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon; you did give him [for] meat to the Ethiopian nations.
15 Ti si otvorio izvore i potoke, ti si isušio rijeke koje ne presišu.
You did cleave fountains and torrents; you dried up mighty rivers.
16 Tvoj je dan i tvoja je noæ, ti si postavio zvijezde i sunce.
The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.
17 Ti si utvrdio sve krajeve zemaljske, ljeto i zimu ti si uredio.
You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring.
18 Opomeni se toga, neprijatelj se ruga Gospodu, i narod bezumni ne mari za ime tvoje.
Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name.
19 Ne daj zvijerima duše grlice svoje, nemoj zaboraviti stada stradalaca svojih zasvagda.
Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to you: forget not for ever the souls of your poor.
20 Pogledaj na zavjet; jer su sve peæine zemaljske pune stanova bezakonja.
Look upon your covenant: for the dark [places] of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.
21 Nevoljnik nek se ne vrati sramotan, ništi i ubogi neka hvale ime tvoje.
let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise your name.
22 Ustani, Bože, brani stvar svoju, opomeni se kako ti se bezumnik ruga svaki dan!
Arise, O God, plead your cause: remember your reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.
23 Ne zaboravi obijesti neprijatelja svojih, vike, koju jednako dižu protivnici tvoji!
Forget not the voice of your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate you continually ascend before you.
