2 Samuel 22
1 David je Gospodu spregovoril besede te pesmi na dan, ko ga je Gospod osvobodil iz roke vseh njegovih sovražnikov in iz Savlove roke.
And David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 Rekel je: » Gospod je moja skala in moja trdnjava in moj osvoboditelj;
And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 Bog moje skale; vanj bom zaupal. On je moj ščit in rog rešitve moje duše, moj visoki stolp in moje zatočišče, moj rešitelj; ti me rešuješ pred nasiljem.
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence.
4 Klical bom h Gospodu, ki je vreden, da je hvaljen. Tako bom rešen pred svojimi sovražniki.
I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 Ko so me obdali valovi smrti, so me preplašile poplave brezbožnih ljudi;
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; (Sheol h7585)
7 v svoji stiski sem klical h Gospodu in jokal k svojemu Bogu. Iz svojega svetišča je slišal moj glas in moj jok je vstopil v njegova ušesa.
In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
8 Potem se je zemlja stresla in vztrepetala, temelji neba so se premaknili in stresli, ker je bil ogorčen.
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
9 Iz njegovih nosnic se je dvignil dim in ogenj iz njegovih ust je požiral. Z njim so bili vžgani ogorki.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
10 Upognil je tudi nebo in prišel dol in tema je bila pod njegovimi stopali.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
11 Jahal je na kerubu in letel. Viden je bil na perutih vetra.
And he rode on a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen on the wings of the wind.
12 Vsenaokrog sebe je naredil paviljone teme, temne vode in goste oblake neba.
And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
13 Od bleščave pred njim so bili vžgani ognjeni ogorki.
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 Gospod je zagrmel iz nebes in Najvišji je izustil svoj glas.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 Odposlal je puščice in jih razkropil; bliskanje in jih porazil.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 Prikazale so se morske struge, temelji zemeljskega [kroga] so bili odkriti ob Gospodovem karanju, ob puhu sape iz njegovih nosnic.
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 Poslal je od zgoraj, vzel me je, potegnil me je iz mnogih vodá,
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
18 osvobodil me je pred mojim močnim sovražnikom in pred tistimi, ki so me sovražili, kajti zame so bili premočni.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
19 Ovirali so me na dan moje katastrofe, toda Gospod je bil moja opora.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
20 Prav tako me je privedel na velik kraj. Osvobodil me je, ker se je razveseljeval v meni.
He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 Gospod me je nagradil glede na mojo pravičnost. Poplačal mi je glede na čistost mojih rok.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
22 Kajti držal sem se Gospodovih poti in se nisem zlobno oddvojil od svojega Boga.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Kajti vse njegove sodbe so bile pred menoj, in glede njegovih zakonov, se nisem ločil od njih.
For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 Pred njim sem bil tudi iskren in se zadržal pred svojo krivičnostjo.
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Zatorej mi je Gospod poplačal glede na mojo pravičnost; glede na mojo čistost v njegovem pogledu.
Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
26 Z usmiljenim se boš pokazal usmiljenega in s poštenim človekom se boš pokazal poštenega.
With the merciful you will show yourself merciful, and with the upright man you will show yourself upright.
27 S čistim se boš pokazal čistega in s kljubovalnim se boš pokazal neokusnega.
With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the fraudulent you will show yourself unsavory.
28 Stiskano ljudstvo boš rešil, toda tvoje oči so na ošabnih, da jih lahko privedeš dol.
And the afflicted people you will save: but your eyes are on the haughty, that you may bring them down.
29 Kajti ti si moja svetilka, oh Gospod in Gospod bo razsvetlil mojo temo.
For you are my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
30 Kajti s teboj sem tekel skozi krdelo, s svojim Bogom sem preskočil zid.
For by you I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 Glede Boga, njegova pot je popolna; Gospodova beseda je preizkušena. On je ščit vsem tistim, ki zaupajo vanj.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 Kajti kdo je Bog, razen Gospoda? In kdo je skala, razen našega Boga?
For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
33 Bog je moja sila in moč in mojo pot dela popolno.
God is my strength and power: and he makes my way perfect.
34 Moje noge dela podobne nogam košut in me postavlja na moje visoke kraje.
He makes my feet like hinds’ feet: and sets me on my high places.
35 Moje roke uči bojevanja, tako, da je jeklen lok zlomljen z mojimi lakti.
He teaches my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 Dal si mi tudi ščit tvoje rešitve duše in tvoja blagost me je naredila velikega.
You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your gentleness has made me great.
37 Povečal si moje korake pod menoj, tako, da moja stopala niso zdrsnila.
You have enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
38 Zasledoval sem svoje sovražnike in jih uničil in se nisem ponovno obrnil, dokler jih nisem použil.
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 Použil sem jih in jih ranil, da niso mogli vstati. Da, padli so pod mojimi stopali.
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yes, they are fallen under my feet.
40 Kajti opasal si me z močjo za boj. Tiste, ki se vzdigujejo zoper mene, si podjarmil pod menoj.
For you have girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me have you subdued under me.
41 Dal si mi tudi vratove mojih sovražnikov, da lahko uničim tiste, ki me sovražijo.
You have also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 Pogledali so, toda nikogar ni bilo, da reši; celó h Gospodu, toda ni jim odgovoril.
They looked, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Potem sem jih zdrobil v zemeljski prah, pohodil sem jih kakor ulično blato in jih raztresel naokoli.
Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
44 Osvobodil si me tudi pred prepiri mojega ljudstva, ohranil si me, da bi bil poglavar poganom. Ljudstvo, ki ga nisem poznal, mi bo služilo.
You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people, you have kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
45 Tujci se mi bodo podredili; takoj ko slišijo, mi bodo poslušni.
Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
46 Tujci bodo bledeli in prestrašeni bodo iz svojih zaprtih krajev.
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
47 Gospod živi in blagoslovljena bodi moja skala in povišan bodi Bog skale rešitve moje duše.
The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 To je Bog, ki me maščuje in ki ljudstvo prinaša podme
It is God that avenges me, and that brings down the people under me.
49 in ki me pelje naprej pred mojimi sovražniki. Prav tako si me dvignil na visoko, nad tiste, ki so vstali zoper mene. Osvobodil si me pred nasilnežem.
And that brings me forth from my enemies: you also have lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
50 Zato se ti bom zahvaljeval, oh Gospod, med pogani in prepeval bom hvalnice tvojemu imenu.
Therefore I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to your name.
51 On je stolp rešitve duš za svojega kralja in izkazuje usmiljenje svojemu maziljencu Davidu in njegovemu semenu na vékomaj.«
He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever more.
