< Psalmi 83 >

1 Bože! nemoj zamuknuti, nemoj šutjeti, niti poèivaj, Bože!
A Song, a Melody of Asaph. O God, Do not keep quiet, Do not hold thy peace, Neither be thou still, O GOD!
2 Jer evo neprijatelji tvoji uzavreše, i koji te nenavide, podigoše glavu.
For lo! thine enemies, are tumultuous, And, they who hate thee, have lifted up the head;
3 Po narod tvoj zlo naumiše, i dogovaraju se na izbrane tvoje.
Against thy people, they craftily devise a secret plot, And conspire against thy treasured ones.
4 Rekoše: hodite da ih istrijebimo izmeðu naroda da se više ne spominje ime Izrailjevo.
They have said—Come, and let us wipe them out from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.
5 Složno pristaše i suprot tebi vjeru uhvatiše:
For they have taken counsel with one heart, Against thee—a covenant, would they solemnize—
6 Naselja Edomova i Ismailovci, Moav i Agareni,
The tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagarenes;
7 Geval i Amon i Amalik, Filisteji s Tircima;
Gebal and Ammon, and Amalek, The Philistines, with the dwellers in Tyre;
8 I Asur udruži se s njima; postadoše mišica sinovima Lotovijem.
Even Assyria hath joined herself with them, They have become an arm to the sons of Lot. (Selah)
9 Uèini im onako kao Madijamu, kao Sisari, kao Javinu na potoku Kisonu,
Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;
10 Koji su istrijebljeni u Aendoru, nagnojiše sobom zemlju.
They perished at En-dor, They become manure for the soil!
11 Uradi s njima, s knezovima njihovijem, kao s Orivom i Zivom, i sa svima glavarima njihovijem kao sa Zevejem i Salmanom.
Make them—their nobles—like Oreb and like Zeeb, And, like Zebah and like Zalmunna, all their princes:
12 Jer govore: osvojimo naselja Božija.
Who said—Let us take a possession for ourselves, The pastures of God!
13 Bože moj! zapovjedi neka budu kao prah, kao pijesak pred vjetrom.
O my God, make them, As whirling [dust], As chaff before a wind;
14 Kao što oganj sažiže šumu, i kao plamen što zapaljuje gore,
As a fire burneth a forest, —And as a flame setteth mountains ablaze,
15 Tako ih pognaj burom svojom i vihorom svojim smeti ih.
So, wilt thou pursue them with thy tempest, —And, with thy storm-wind, wilt terrify them:
16 Pokrij lice njihovo sramotom, da bi tražili ime tvoje, Gospode!
Fill thou their faces with dishonour, That men may seek thy Name, O Yahweh;
17 Neka se stide i srame dovijeka, neka se smetu i izginu!
Let them turn pale, and be terrified to futurity, Yea let them blush, and perish:
18 I neka znadu da si ti, kojemu je ime Gospod, jedini najviši nad svom zemljom.
That men may know that, thou, Whose Name alone is Yahweh, Art Most High over all the earth.
