Psalmi 31

1 Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje; naj ne bom nikoli osramočen, osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti.

For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in you; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness and rescue me.

2 Nagni k meni svoje uho, naglo me osvobodi. Bodi moja čvrsta skala, za hišo obrambe, da me rešiš.

Incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be you to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.

3 Kajti ti si moja skala in moja trdnjava, zato me vôdi zaradi svojega imena in me usmerjaj.

For you are my strength and my refuge; and you shall guide me for your name's sake, and maintain me.

4 Potegni me iz mreže, ki so jo na skrivnem položili zame, kajti ti si moja moč.

You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for you, O Lord, are my defender.

5 V tvojo roko izročam svojega duha. Odkupil si me, oh Gospod, Bog resnice.

Into your hands I will commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

6 Sovražil sem tiste, ki se ozirajo za lažnivimi ničevostmi, toda jaz zaupam v Gospoda.

You has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.

7 Vesel bom in se radoval v tvojem usmiljenju, kajti preudaril si mojo težavo, v stiskah si spoznal mojo dušo

I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon mine affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.

8 in me nisi zaprl v roko mojega sovražnika. Moja stopala si postavil na velik prostor.

And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

9 Usmili se me, oh Gospod, kajti v stiski sem. Moje oko je použito z žalostjo, da, moja duša in moj trebuh.

Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.

10 Kajti moje življenje je iztrošeno z žalostjo in moja leta z vzdihovanjem. Moja moč slabi zaradi moje krivičnosti in moje kosti so použite.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.

11 Bil sem graja med vsemi svojimi sovražniki, toda še posebej med svojimi bližnjimi in strah svojim znancem. Tisti, ki so me videli zunaj, so pobegnili pred menoj.

I became a reproach amongst all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.

12 Pozabljen sem, kakor je mrtev človek hitro pozabljen iz uma. Podoben sem razbiti posodi.

I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.

13 Kajti slišal sem obrekovanje mnogih. Strah je bil na vsaki strani. Medtem ko so se skupaj posvetovali zoper mene, so snovali, da vzamejo moje življenje.

For I heard the slander of many that lived round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.

14 Toda jaz sem zaupal vate, oh Gospod. Rekel sem: »Ti si moj Bog.«

But I hoped in you, O Lord: I said, You are my God.

15 Moji časi so v tvoji roki. Osvobodi me pred roko mojih sovražnikov in pred tistimi, ki me preganjajo.

My lots are in your hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,

16 Stôri, da tvoj obraz zasije nad tvojim služabnikom. Reši me zaradi svojega usmiljenja.

and from them that persecute me. Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me in your mercy.

17 Naj ne bom osramočen, oh Gospod, kajti klical sem k tebi. Naj bodo zlobni osramočeni in naj bodo molče v grobu. (Sheol h7585)

O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon you: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades. (Sheol h7585)

18 Naj bodo utišane lažnive ustnice, ki ponosno in zaničljivo govorijo boleče stvari zoper pravičnega.

Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.

19 O, kako velika je tvoja dobrota, ki si jo prihranil za tiste, ki se te bojijo, ki si jo izvršil tistim, ki zaupajo vate pred človeškimi sinovi!

How abundant is the multitude of your goodness, O Lord, which you have laid up for them that fear you! you have wrought [it] out for them that hope on you, in the presence of the sons of men.

20 Pred ponosom ljudi jih boš skril v zatišju svoje prisotnosti. Pred prepirom jezikov jih boš skrivaj varoval v paviljonu.

You will hide them in the secret of your presence from the vexation of man: you will screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.

21 Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, kajti pokazal mi je svojo čudovito prijaznost v utrjenem mestu.

Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.

22 Kajti v svoji naglici sem rekel: »Iztrebljen sem izpred tvojih oči.« Vendar si slišal glas mojih ponižnih prošenj, ko sem klical k tebi.

But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of your eyes: therefore you did listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to you.

23 Oh ljubite Gospoda, vsi vi njegovi sveti, kajti Gospod ohranja zveste in obilno nagrajuje tistega, ki ravna ponosno.

Love the Lord, all you his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly.

24 Bodite odločnega poguma in vaša srca bo okrepil vsem vam, ki upate v Gospoda.

Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all you that hope in the Lord.
