Psalmi 94
1 Bože od osvete, Gospode, Bože od osvete, pokaži se!
The Lord is a God of vengeance! God of vengeance, shine out!
2 Podigni se, sudijo zemaljski, podaj zaslugu oholima.
Stand up, judge of the earth, and pay back those who are proud what they deserve.
3 Dokle æe se bezbožnici, Gospode, dokle æe se bezbožnici hvaliti?
How long, Lord? How long will the wicked celebrate in triumph?
4 Ruže i oholo govore, velièaju se svi koji èine bezakonje.
How long will you let them pour out their arrogant words? How long will these evil people go on boasting?
5 Gaze narod tvoj, Gospode, i dostojanje tvoje muèe.
Lord, they crush your people; they oppress those you call your own.
6 Udovicu i došljaka ubijaju, i sirote more.
They kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
7 I govore: neæe vidjeti Gospod, i neæe doznati Bog Jakovljev.
They say, “The Lord can't see what we're doing. Israel's God doesn't pay any attention to us.”
8 Orazumite se, preludi ljudi! budale! kad æete biti pametni?
Take another look, you stupid people! Fools—when will you ever get the point?
9 Koji je stvorio uho, zar ne èuje? i koji je oko naèinio, zar ne vidi?
Do you think the creator of the ear can't hear? Do you think the maker of the eye can't see?
10 Zar neæe oblièiti koji narode urazumljuje, koji uèi èovjeka da zna?
Do you think that the one who punishes nations won't punish you too? Do you think that the one who teaches human beings knowledge doesn't know anything?
11 Gospod zna misli ljudima kako su ništave.
The Lord knows the thoughts of human beings—he knows they are pointless.
12 Blago èovjeku koga ti, Gospode, urazumljuješ, i zakonom svojim uèiš;
Those you discipline are happy, Lord; those you teach from your Law.
13 Da bi mu dao mir u zle dane, dok se iskopa jama bezbožniku.
You give them peace in days of trouble, until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.
14 Jer neæe odbaciti Gospod naroda svojega, i dostojanja svojega neæe ostaviti.
For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
15 Jer æe se sud vratiti na pravdu, i njega æe naæi svi prava srca.
Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
16 Ko æe ustati za mene suprot zlima? ko æe stati za mene suprot onima koji èine bezakonje?
Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
17 Kad mi Gospod ne bi bio pomoænik, brzo bi se duša moja preselila onamo gdje se muèi.
If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
18 Kad reèem: drkæe mi noga, milost tvoja, Gospode, prihvata me.
I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
19 Kad se umnože brige u srcu mom, utjehe tvoje razgovaraju dušu moju.
When my mind was full of worries, you comforted me and encouraged me.
20 Eda li æe blizu tebe stati prijesto krvnièki, i onaj koji namišlja nasilje nasuprot zakonu?
Can unjust judges really be on your side, Lord, when their corrupt use of the law causes misery?
21 Spremaju se na dušu pravednikovu, i krv pravu okrivljuju.
They work together to destroy good people; they condemn those who are innocent to death.
22 Ali je Gospod moje pristanište, i Bog je moj tvrdo utoèište moje.
But the Lord protects me like a fortress; my God is the rock that keeps me safe.
23 On æe im vratiti za bezakonje njihovo, za njihovu zloæu istrijebiæe ih, istrijebiæe ih Gospod, Bog naš.
He will turn the wickedness of evil people back upon them; he will destroy them because of their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.
