Psalmi 73
1 Resnično, Bog je dober do Izraela, torej tistim, ki so čistega srca.
A psalm of Asaph. Yes, God is good to the upright, the Lord to the pure in heart.
2 Toda kar se mene tiče, so moja stopala skoraj odšla, moji koraki so malodane spodrsnili.
But my feet were almost gone, my steps had nearly slipped,
3 Kajti bil sem nevoščljiv nad nespametnimi, ko sem videl uspevanje zlobnih.
through envy of godless braggarts, when I saw how well they fared.
4 Kajti v njihovi smrti ni vezi, vendar je njihova moč trdna.
For never a pang have they, their body is sound and sleek.
5 Niso v stiski, kakor drugi ljudje niti niso trpinčeni kakor drugi ljudje.
They have no trouble like mortals, no share in human pain.
6 Zato jih ošabnost obdaja naokoli kakor veriga, nasilje jih pokriva kakor obleka.
So they wear their pride like a necklace, they put on the garment of wrong,
7 Njihove oči izstopajo z mastnostjo. Imajo več, kot si lahko želi srce.
their eyes stand out with fatness, their heart swells with riotous fancies.
8 Izprijeni so in glede zatiranja govorijo zlobno, govorijo vzvišeno.
Their speech is mocking and evil, condescending and crooked their speech.
9 Svoja usta postavljajo zoper nebesa in njihov jezik hodi po zemlji.
They have set their mouth in the heavens, while their tongue struts about on the earth.
10 Zato se njegovo ljudstvo vrača sèm in iztisnjene so jim polne čaše vode.
Small wonder that people resort to them, and drink deep draughts of their lore.
11 Pravijo: »Kako Bog ve? In ali je znanje v Najvišjem?«
“How does God know?” they say, “And has the Most High any knowledge?”
12 Glej, to so brezbožni, ki uspevajo v svetu, povečujejo se v bogastvih.
See! These are the godless, with wealth and ease ever increasing.
13 Resnično sem zaman očistil svoje srce in svoje roke umil v nedolžnosti.
Yes, in vain have I kept my heart pure, and washed my hands in innocence;
14 Kajti ves dan sem bil trpinčen in kaznovan vsako jutro.
for all the day long was I plagued not a morning but I was chastised.
15 Če rečem: »Govoril bom na ta način, « glej, bi se pregrešil zoper rod tvojih otrok.
But to resolve to speak like they do would be treachery to your children.
16 Ko sem premišljeval, da to spoznam, je bilo zame preveč boleče,
So I sought to understand it, but a wearisome task it seemed:
17 dokler nisem odšel v Božje svetišče, potem sem razumel njihov konec.
till I entered the holy world of God and saw clearly their destiny.
18 Zagotovo si jih postavil na spolzke kraje, podiraš jih v uničenje.
Yes, you set them on slippery places; down to destruction you hurl them.
19 Kako so v hipu privedeni v opustošenje! Popolnoma so použiti s strahotami.
One moment and then what a horror of ruin! They are finished and ended in terrors.
20 Kakor sanje, ko se nekdo zbudi; tako boš, oh Gospod, ko se zbudiš, preziral njihovo podobo.
Like a dream, when one wakes, shall they be, whose phantoms the waker despises.
21 Tako je bilo moje srce užaloščeno in v svoji notranjosti sem bil zboden.
So my bitterness of mind and the pain that stabbed my heart
22 Tako nespameten sem bil in neveden. Pred teboj sem bil kakor žival.
show how dull I was and stupid just like a beast before you.
23 Kljub temu sem nenehno s teboj. Prijel si me za mojo desnico.
But I am always with you, you have hold of my right hand.
24 Usmerjal me boš s svojim nasvetom in potem me sprejmi v slavo.
By a plan of yours you guide me and will afterward take me to glory.
25 Koga imam v nebesih razen tebe? In nikogar ni na zemlji, ki si ga želim poleg tebe.
Whom have I in the heavens but you? And on earth there is none I desire beside you.
26 Moje meso in moje srce odpovedujeta, toda Bog je moč mojega srca in moj delež na veke.
Though flesh and heart waste away, yet God is the rock of my heart, yet God is my portion forever.
27 Kajti glej, tisti, ki so daleč od tebe, se bodo pogubili. Uničil si vse tiste, ki z vlačuganjem gredo od tebe.
For see! Those who are far from you must perish, you destroy all who are false to you.
28 Toda zame je dobro, da se približam Bogu. Svoje trdno upanje sem položil v Gospoda Boga, da bom lahko oznanjal vsa tvoja dela.
But I am happy when close to God; the Lord my God I have made my refuge, that I may recount all the things you have done.
