Psalmi 31
1 Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje; naj ne bom nikoli osramočen, osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti.
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] In you, YHWH, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Nagni k meni svoje uho, naglo me osvobodi. Bodi moja čvrsta skala, za hišo obrambe, da me rešiš.
Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense 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 rock and my fortress, therefore for your name's sake lead me and guide me.
4 Potegni me iz mreže, ki so jo na skrivnem položili zame, kajti ti si moja moč.
Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 V tvojo roko izročam svojega duha. Odkupil si me, oh Gospod, Bog resnice.
Into your hands I commit my spirit. You redeem me, YHWH, God of truth.
6 Sovražil sem tiste, ki se ozirajo za lažnivimi ničevostmi, toda jaz zaupam v Gospoda.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in YHWH.
7 Vesel bom in se radoval v tvojem usmiljenju, kajti preudaril si mojo težavo, v stiskah si spoznal mojo dušo
I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 in me nisi zaprl v roko mojega sovražnika. Moja stopala si postavil na velik prostor.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Usmili se me, oh Gospod, kajti v stiski sem. Moje oko je použito z žalostjo, da, moja duša in moj trebuh.
Have mercy on me, YHWH, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
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 sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my affliction, and my bones waste away.
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.
Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12 Pozabljen sem, kakor je mrtev človek hitro pozabljen iz uma. Podoben sem razbiti posodi.
I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
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 have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14 Toda jaz sem zaupal vate, oh Gospod. Rekel sem: »Ti si moj Bog.«
But I trust in you, YHWH. 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 times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Stôri, da tvoj obraz zasije nad tvojim služabnikom. Reši me zaradi svojega usmiljenja.
Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
17 Naj ne bom osramočen, oh Gospod, kajti klical sem k tebi. Naj bodo zlobni osramočeni in naj bodo molče v grobu. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be disappointed, YHWH, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Naj bodo utišane lažnive ustnice, ki ponosno in zaničljivo govorijo boleče stvari zoper pravičnega.
Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
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!
Oh how great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the descendants of Adam.
20 Pred ponosom ljudi jih boš skril v zatišju svoje prisotnosti. Pred prepirom jezikov jih boš skrivaj varoval v paviljonu.
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21 Blagoslovljen bodi Gospod, kajti pokazal mi je svojo čudovito prijaznost v utrjenem mestu.
Praise be to YHWH, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a besieged 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.
As for me, I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before your eyes." Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 Oh ljubite Gospoda, vsi vi njegovi sveti, kajti Gospod ohranja zveste in obilno nagrajuje tistega, ki ravna ponosno.
Oh love YHWH, all you his faithful ones. YHWH preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24 Bodite odločnega poguma in vaša srca bo okrepil vsem vam, ki upate v Gospoda.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in YHWH.
