Psalmi 94
1 Oh Gospod Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, oh Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, pokaži se.
O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.
2 Dvigni se, ti sodnik zemlje; povrni nagrado ponosnim.
Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.
3 Gospod, doklej bodo zlobni, doklej bodo zlobni slavili zmago?
How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?
4 Kako dolgo bodo izgovarjali in govorili trde stvari in se bahali vsi delavci krivičnosti?
Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.
5 Tvoje ljudstvo razbijajo na koščke, oh Gospod in prizadevajo tvojo dediščino.
Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
6 Ubijajo vdovo in tujca in morijo osirotele.
They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
7 Vendar pravijo: » Gospod nas ne bo videl niti Bog Jakobov tega ne bo upošteval.«
And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
8 Razumite, vi brutalni izmed ljudstva, in vi bedaki, kdaj boste modri?
Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
9 Kdor je zasadil uho, da ne bi slišal? Kdor je oblikoval oko, da ne bi videl?
Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?
10 Kdor kaznuje pogane, da ne bi grajal? Kdor uči človeka spoznanja, da ne bi vedel?
He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?
11 Gospod pozna človekove misli, da so le-te ničevost.
The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.
12 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ga karaš, oh Gospod in ga učiš iz svoje postave,
Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
13 da mu lahko daš počitek od dni nadloge, dokler ni izkopana jama za zlobnega.
So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.
14 Kajti Gospod ne bo zavrgel svojega ljudstva niti ne bo zapustil svoje dediščine.
The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;
15 Toda sodba se bo vrnila k pravičnosti in vsi iskreni v srcu ji bodo sledili.
But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.
16 Kdo se bo zame dvignil zoper hudodelce? Ali kdo bo zame vstal zoper delavce krivičnosti?
Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?
17 Če Gospod ne bi bil moja pomoč, bi moja duša skoraj prebivala v tišini.
If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.
18 Ko sem rekel: »Moje stopalo zdrsuje, me je podpiralo tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod.
If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
19 V množici mojih misli znotraj mene tvoje tolažbe razveseljujejo mojo dušo.
Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
20 Mar bo prestol krivičnosti, ki z uzakonitvijo snuje vragolijo, imel družbo s teboj?
What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
21 Skupaj se zbirajo zoper dušo pravičnega in obsojajo nedolžno kri.
They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
22 Toda Gospod je moja obramba in moj Bog je skala mojega zatočišča.
But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
23 Nadnje bo privedel njihovo lastno krivičnost in odsekal jih bo v njihovi lastni zlobnosti; da, Gospod, naš Bog, jih bo odsekal.
And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
