< Psalmi 83 >

1 Bože! nemoj zamuknuti, nemoj šutjeti, niti poèivaj, Bože!
A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
2 Jer evo neprijatelji tvoji uzavreše, i koji te nenavide, podigoše glavu.
See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
3 Po narod tvoj zlo naumiše, i dogovaraju se na izbrane tvoje.
With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
4 Rekoše: hodite da ih istrijebimo izmeðu naroda da se više ne spominje ime Izrailjevo.
saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5 Složno pristaše i suprot tebi vjeru uhvatiše:
For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
6 Naselja Edomova i Ismailovci, Moav i Agareni,
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Geval i Amon i Amalik, Filisteji s Tircima;
of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
8 I Asur udruži se s njima; postadoše mišica sinovima Lotovijem.
Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot.
9 Uèini im onako kao Madijamu, kao Sisari, kao Javinu na potoku Kisonu,
Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
10 Koji su istrijebljeni u Aendoru, nagnojiše sobom zemlju.
who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
11 Uradi s njima, s knezovima njihovijem, kao s Orivom i Zivom, i sa svima glavarima njihovijem kao sa Zevejem i Salmanom.
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 Jer govore: osvojimo naselja Božija.
who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
13 Bože moj! zapovjedi neka budu kao prah, kao pijesak pred vjetrom.
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
14 Kao što oganj sažiže šumu, i kao plamen što zapaljuje gore,
As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 Tako ih pognaj burom svojom i vihorom svojim smeti ih.
so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
16 Pokrij lice njihovo sramotom, da bi tražili ime tvoje, Gospode!
Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17 Neka se stide i srame dovijeka, neka se smetu i izginu!
May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
18 I neka znadu da si ti, kojemu je ime Gospod, jedini najviši nad svom zemljom.
May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
