< Psalmi 83 >

1 Ne bodi tiho, oh Bog. Ne molči in ne bodi molčeč, oh Bog.
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph. O God, keep not Thou silence; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 Kajti glej, tvoji sovražniki pripravljajo upor in tisti, ki te sovražijo, so povzdignili glavo.
For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
3 Zoper tvoje ljudstvo so sprejeli prebrisan nasvet in se posvetovali zoper tvoje skrite.
They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones.
4 Rekli so: »Pridimo in odrežimo jih od tega, da so narod, da Izraelovo ime ne bo več v spominu.«
They have said: 'Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.'
5 Kajti skupaj so se soglasno posvetovali, združeni so zoper tebe:
For they have consulted together with one consent; against Thee do they make a covenant;
6 Edómova šotorska svetišča in Izmaelci; Moábovci in Hagárovci;
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab, and the Hagrites;
7 Gebál, Amón in Amálek; Filistejci s prebivalci Tira;
Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8 pridružen jim je tudi Asúr. Pomagali so Lotovim sinovom. (Sela)
Assyria also is joined with them; they have been an arm to the children of Lot. (Selah)
9 Stôri jim kakor Midjáncem, kakor Siseráju, kakor Jabínu pri potoku Kišón,
Do Thou unto them as unto Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook Kishon;
10 ki so bili pokončani pri En Doru. Postali so kakor gnoj za zemljo.
Who were destroyed at En-dor; they became as dung for the earth.
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 like Zebah and Zalmunna all their princes;
12 ki so rekli: »Vzemimo si Božje hiše v posest.«
Who said: 'Let us take to ourselves in possession the habitations of God.'
13 Oh moj Bog, naredi jih kot pleve, kakor strnišče pred vetrom.
O my God, make them like the whirling dust; as stubble before the wind.
14 Kakor ogenj požiga gozd in kakor plamen zažiga gore,
As the fire that burneth the forest, and as the flame that setteth the mountains ablaze;
15 tako jih preganjaj s svojim neurjem in s svojim viharjem jih naredi prestrašene.
So pursue them with Thy tempest, and affright them with Thy storm.
16 Njihove obraze napolni s sramoto, da bodo lahko iskali tvoje ime, oh Gospod.
Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek Thy name, O LORD.
17 Naj bodo zasramovani in zbegani na veke; da, naj bodo osramočeni in [naj] se pogubijo,
Let them be ashamed and affrighted for ever; yea, let them be abashed and perish;
18 da bodo ljudje lahko vedeli, da si ti, čigar ime samó je Jahve, najvišji nad vso zemljo.
That they may know that it is Thou alone whose name is the LORD, the Most High over all the earth.
