Psalmi 71
1 Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje. Naj ne bom nikoli postavljen v zadrego.
In you, YHWH, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
2 Osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti in mi povzroči, da pobegnem. Nagni k meni svoje uho in me reši.
Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
3 Bodi moje močno prebivališče, kamor se bom lahko nenehno zatekal. Dal si zapoved, da me rešiš, kajti ti si moja skala in moja trdnjava.
Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Osvobodi me, oh moj Bog, iz roke zlobnega, iz roke nepravičnega in krutega človeka.
Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Kajti ti si moje upanje, oh Gospod Bog, ti si moje trdno zaupanje od moje mladosti.
For you are my hope, YHWH; my confidence from my youth.
6 S teboj sem bil podpiran od maternice. Ti si tisti, ki me je vzel iz notranjosti moje matere. O tebi bo nenehno moja hvala.
I have relied on you from the womb. From my mother's womb you are my strength. I will always praise you.
7 Mnogim sem kakor čudež, toda ti si moje močno zatočišče.
I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8 Naj bodo moja usta napolnjena s tvojo hvalo in s tvojo častjo ves dan.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day.
9 Ne zavrzi me v času visoke starosti, ne zapusti me, ko oslabi moja moč.
Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Kajti moji sovražniki govorijo zoper mene in tisti, ki prežijo na mojo dušo, se skupaj posvetujejo,
For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
11 rekoč: »Bog ga je zapustil. Preganjajte in zgrabite ga, kajti nikogar ni, da ga osvobodi.«
saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."
12 Oh Bog, ne bodi daleč od mene. O moj Bog, podvizaj se zaradi moje pomoči.
God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
13 Naj bodo zbegani in uničeni tisti, ki so nasprotniki moji duši; naj bodo pokriti z grajo in nečastjo tisti, ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
14 Toda jaz bom nenehno upal in še bolj in bolj te bom hvalil.
But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
15 Moja usta bodo naznanjala tvojo pravičnost in tvojo rešitev duše ves dan, kajti ne poznam njihovih števil.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I do not know its full measure.
16 Šel bom v moči Gospoda Boga. Omenjal bom tvojo pravičnost, namreč samo tvojo.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord YHWH. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
17 Oh Bog, učil si me od moje mladosti in doslej sem oznanjal tvoja čudovita dela.
God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
18 Tudi sedaj, ko sem star in sivolas, oh Bog, me ne zapusti, dokler ne pokažem tvoje moči temu rodu in tvojo oblast vsakemu, ki bo prišel.
Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
19 Tudi tvoja pravičnost, oh Bog, je zelo visoka, ki si storil velike stvari. Oh Bog, kdo ti je podoben!
Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?
20 Ti, ki si mi pokazal velike in boleče stiske, me boš ponovno oživil in ponovno privedel gor iz globin zemlje.
You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Povečal boš mojo veličino in me tolažil na vsaki strani.
Increase my honor, and comfort me again.
22 Prav tako te bom hvalil s plunko, celó tvojo resnico, oh moj Bog. Tebi bom prepeval s harfo, oh ti, Sveti Izraelov.
I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 Moje ustnice se bodo silno veselile, kadar ti prepevam in moja duša, ki si jo odkupil.
My lips shall shout for joy. My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you.
24 Tudi moj jezik bo ves dan govoril o tvoji pravičnosti, kajti zbegani so, ker so privedeni v sramoto [tisti], ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
