Psalmi 71
1 Vate, oh Gospod, polagam svoje trdno upanje. Naj ne bom nikoli postavljen v zadrego.
Yahweh, I have come to you to (get refuge/be protected); never allow me to become ashamed [because of being defeated].
2 Osvobodi me v svoji pravičnosti in mi povzroči, da pobegnem. Nagni k meni svoje uho in me reši.
Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen 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 [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.
4 Osvobodi me, oh moj Bog, iz roke zlobnega, iz roke nepravičnega in krutega človeka.
God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.
5 Kajti ti si moje upanje, oh Gospod Bog, ti si moje trdno zaupanje od moje mladosti.
Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.
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 depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born, [so] I will always praise you.
7 Mnogim sem kakor čudež, toda ti si moje močno zatočišče.
The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many [people], because [they realize that] you have been my strong defender.
8 Naj bodo moja usta napolnjena s tvojo hvalo in s tvojo častjo ves dan.
I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.
9 Ne zavrzi me v času visoke starosti, ne zapusti me, ko oslabi moja moč.
Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.
10 Kajti moji sovražniki govorijo zoper mene in tisti, ki prežijo na mojo dušo, se skupaj posvetujejo,
My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].
11 rekoč: »Bog ga je zapustil. Preganjajte in zgrabite ga, kajti nikogar ni, da ga osvobodi.«
They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”
12 Oh Bog, ne bodi daleč od mene. O moj Bog, podvizaj se zaradi moje pomoči.
God, do not stay far away from me; 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.
Cause those who (accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong) to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.
14 Toda jaz bom nenehno upal in še bolj in bolj te bom hvalil.
But [as for me], I will continually and confidently expect [you to do great things for me], and I will praise you more and more.
15 Moja usta bodo naznanjala tvojo pravičnost in tvojo rešitev duše ves dan, kajti ne poznam njihovih števil.
I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.
16 Šel bom v moči Gospoda Boga. Omenjal bom tvojo pravičnost, namreč samo tvojo.
Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.
17 Oh Bog, učil si me od moje mladosti in doslej sem oznanjal tvoja čudovita dela.
God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.
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.
And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!
19 Tudi tvoja pravičnost, oh Bog, je zelo visoka, ki si storil velike stvari. Oh Bog, kdo ti je podoben!
God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].
20 Ti, ki si mi pokazal velike in boleče stiske, me boš ponovno oživil in ponovno privedel gor iz globin zemlje.
You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, [but] you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.
21 Povečal boš mojo veličino in me tolažil na vsaki strani.
You will cause me to be greatly honored and you will encourage/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 [while I play] my harp; I will praise you, my God, for faithfully [doing what you have promised to do]. I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom [we] Israelis [worship].
23 Moje ustnice se bodo silno veselile, kadar ti prepevam in moja duša, ki si jo odkupil.
I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play [the harp] for you; with my entire inner being I will sing because you have rescued me.
24 Tudi moj jezik bo ves dan govoril o tvoji pravičnosti, kajti zbegani so, ker so privedeni v sramoto [tisti], ki iščejo mojo bolečino.
All day long I will tell people that you act righteously, because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
