< Psalmi 83 >

1 Ne bodi tiho, oh Bog. Ne molči in ne bodi molčeč, oh Bog.
A song. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
2 Kajti glej, tvoji sovražniki pripravljajo upor in tisti, ki te sovražijo, so povzdignili glavo.
See how Your enemies rage, how Your foes have reared their heads.
3 Zoper tvoje ljudstvo so sprejeli prebrisan nasvet in se posvetovali zoper tvoje skrite.
With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,
4 Rekli so: »Pridimo in odrežimo jih od tega, da so narod, da Izraelovo ime ne bo več v spominu.«
saying, “Come, let us erase them as a nation; may the name of Israel be remembered no more.”
5 Kajti skupaj so se soglasno posvetovali, združeni so zoper tebe:
For with one mind they plot together, they form an alliance against You—
6 Edómova šotorska svetišča in Izmaelci; Moábovci in Hagárovci;
the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
7 Gebál, Amón in Amálek; Filistejci s prebivalci Tira;
of Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, of Philistia with the people of Tyre.
8 pridružen jim je tudi Asúr. Pomagali so Lotovim sinovom. (Sela)
Even Assyria has joined them, lending strength to the sons of Lot.
9 Stôri jim kakor Midjáncem, kakor Siseráju, kakor Jabínu pri potoku Kišón,
Do to them as You did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the River Kishon,
10 ki so bili pokončani pri En Doru. Postali so kakor gnoj za zemljo.
who perished at Endor and became like dung on the ground.
11 Naredite njihove plemiče kakor Oréba in kakor Zeéba. Da, vse njihove prince kot Zebaha in kot Calmunája,
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, and all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12 ki so rekli: »Vzemimo si Božje hiše v posest.«
who said, “Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God.”
13 Oh moj Bog, naredi jih kot pleve, kakor strnišče pred vetrom.
Make them like tumbleweed, O my God, like chaff before the wind.
14 Kakor ogenj požiga gozd in kakor plamen zažiga gore,
As fire consumes a forest, as a flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15 tako jih preganjaj s svojim neurjem in s svojim viharjem jih naredi prestrašene.
so pursue them with Your tempest, and terrify them with Your storm.
16 Njihove obraze napolni s sramoto, da bodo lahko iskali tvoje ime, oh Gospod.
Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
17 Naj bodo zasramovani in zbegani na veke; da, naj bodo osramočeni in [naj] se pogubijo,
May they be ever ashamed and terrified; may they perish in disgrace.
18 da bodo ljudje lahko vedeli, da si ti, čigar ime samó je Jahve, najvišji nad vso zemljo.
May they know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, are Most High over all the earth.
