Psalmi 94
1 Oh Gospod Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, oh Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, pokaži se.
O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 Dvigni se, ti sodnik zemlje; povrni nagrado ponosnim.
Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
3 Gospod, doklej bodo zlobni, doklej bodo zlobni slavili zmago?
How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
4 Kako dolgo bodo izgovarjali in govorili trde stvari in se bahali vsi delavci krivičnosti?
They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
5 Tvoje ljudstvo razbijajo na koščke, oh Gospod in prizadevajo tvojo dediščino.
They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
6 Ubijajo vdovo in tujca in morijo osirotele.
They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
7 Vendar pravijo: » Gospod nas ne bo videl niti Bog Jakobov tega ne bo upošteval.«
They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
8 Razumite, vi brutalni izmed ljudstva, in vi bedaki, kdaj boste modri?
Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
9 Kdor je zasadil uho, da ne bi slišal? Kdor je oblikoval oko, da ne bi videl?
He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
10 Kdor kaznuje pogane, da ne bi grajal? Kdor uči človeka spoznanja, da ne bi vedel?
He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
11 Gospod pozna človekove misli, da so le-te ničevost.
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
12 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ga karaš, oh Gospod in ga učiš iz svoje postave,
Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
13 da mu lahko daš počitek od dni nadloge, dokler ni izkopana jama za zlobnega.
to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 Kajti Gospod ne bo zavrgel svojega ljudstva niti ne bo zapustil svoje dediščine.
For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
15 Toda sodba se bo vrnila k pravičnosti in vsi iskreni v srcu ji bodo sledili.
Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Kdo se bo zame dvignil zoper hudodelce? Ali kdo bo zame vstal zoper delavce krivičnosti?
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Če Gospod ne bi bil moja pomoč, bi moja duša skoraj prebivala v tišini.
Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18 Ko sem rekel: »Moje stopalo zdrsuje, me je podpiralo tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod.
If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
19 V množici mojih misli znotraj mene tvoje tolažbe razveseljujejo mojo dušo.
When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
20 Mar bo prestol krivičnosti, ki z uzakonitvijo snuje vragolijo, imel družbo s teboj?
Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
21 Skupaj se zbirajo zoper dušo pravičnega in obsojajo nedolžno kri.
They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
22 Toda Gospod je moja obramba in moj Bog je skala mojega zatočišča.
But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
23 Nadnje bo privedel njihovo lastno krivičnost in odsekal jih bo v njihovi lastni zlobnosti; da, Gospod, naš Bog, jih bo odsekal.
He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
