Psalmi 37
1 Pesem Davidova. Ne razsrdi se zaradi hudobnih, ne zavidaj njih, ki delajo krivico.
A Psalm of David himself. Do not choose to imitate the malicious; neither should you envy those who work iniquity.
2 Ker hitro se pokosé kakor seno, in kakor nežne trave zelenje odpadejo.
For they will quickly wither away like dry grass, and in like manner to kitchen herbs, they will soon droop.
3 Zaupaj v Gospoda in delaj dobro; prebivaj v deželi in v poštenosti se pasi.
Hope in the Lord and do good, and dwell in the land, and so you shall be pastured with its riches.
4 In razveseljuj se v Gospodu, ki ti bode dal srca tvojega prošnje.
Delight in the Lord, and he will grant to you the petitions of your heart.
5 Izróči Gospodu svojo pot in zaupaj vanj; on bode že storil.
Reveal your way to the Lord, and hope in him, and he will accomplish it.
6 Kakor luč bode pokazal pravičnost tvojo, in pravico tvojo kakor poldan.
And he will bring forth your justice like the light, and your judgment like the midday.
7 Zanašaj se na Gospoda in čakaj ga neprestano: ne razsrdi se zaradi njega, ki ima srečo na poti svoji; zaradi moža, ki doprinaša, kar misli.
Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Do not choose to compete with him who prospers in his way, with the man who does injustice.
8 Odjenjaj od jeze, in pústí togoto, ne razsrdi se, da bi le hudo storil.
Cease from wrath and leave behind rage. Do not choose to imitate the malicious.
9 Ker hudobniki se bodejo iztrebili: čakajoči pa Gospoda dedovali bodejo sami deželo.
For those who are malicious will be exterminated. But those who remain with the Lord, these will inherit the land.
10 In še malo, in celo ne bode krivičnega: ko bodeš ogledoval mesto njegovo, ne bode ga.
Yet still a little while, and the sinner will not be. And you will search his place and find nothing.
11 Krotki pa bodejo dedovali deželo, in radovali se bodejo v obilosti mirú.
But the meek shall inherit the earth, and they will delight in the multitude of peace.
12 Ko misli krivični zoper pravičnega, in škriplje sè zobmí svojimi proti njemu,
The sinner will observe the just, and he will gnash his teeth over him.
13 Smeje se mu Gospod, ker vidi, da prihaja dan njegov.
But the Lord will laugh at him: for he knows in advance that his day will come.
14 Meč naj so potegnili krivični in lok svoj napéli, da poderó ubozega in siromaka, da pobijejo poštene na potu:
The sinners have drawn the sword, they have bent their bow, so as to cast down the poor and the needy, so as to massacre the upright of heart.
15 Meč njihov predere njih srce, in zdrobé se njihovi loki.
Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
16 Dobro je vsakemu pravičnemu malo, bolje nego obilost mnogim krivičnim.
A little is better to the just than the many riches of sinners.
17 Ker roke krivičnih se zdrobé, pravične pa podpira Gospod.
For the arms of sinners will be crushed, but the Lord confirms the just.
18 Gospod pozna čase poštenih, tako da bode posest njihova vekomaj.
The Lord knows the days of the immaculate, and their inheritance will be in eternity.
19 Osramoté se ne o hudem času; temuč nasitijo se o lakoti času,
They will not be confounded in an evil time; and in days of famine, they will be satisfied:
20 Ko krivični poginejo in sovražniki Gospoda kakor kar je drazega v jagnjetih, kakor to mine v dim, minejo oni.
for sinners will perish. Truly, the adversaries of the Lord, soon after they have been honored and exalted, will fade away, in the same way that smoke fades away.
21 Na pósodo jemlje krivični, a vrniti ne more; pravični pa je milosten in daruje:
The sinner will lend and not release, but the just one shows compassion and donates.
22 Ker blagoslovljeni po njem podedovajo deželo, prokleti pa po njem pogubé se.
For those who bless him will inherit the earth, but those who curse him will perish.
23 Gospod stavi stopinje možu, katerega poti se raduje.
The steps of a man will be directed by the Lord, and he will choose his way.
24 Ko pada, ne zvrne se; ker Gospod podpira roko njegovo.
When he falls, he will not be harmed, because the Lord places his hand under him.
25 Otrok sem bil, postaral sem se tudi, ali videl nisem pravičnege zapuščenega tako, da bi kruha iskalo seme njegovo.
I have been young, and now I am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his offspring seeking bread.
26 Ves dan deli milost in posoja, in v blagoslovu je seme njegovo.
He shows compassion and lends, all day long, and his offspring will be in blessing.
27 Odstopi od hudega, in delaj dobro; tako prebivaj vekomaj.
Turn away from evil and do good, and dwell forever and ever.
28 Ker Gospod ljubi pravico, in ne zapusti njih, katerim je dobrovoljen; na veke se ohrani, seme pa krivičnih se iztrebi.
For the Lord loves judgment, and he will not abandon his saints. They will be kept safe in eternity. The unjust will be punished, and the offspring of the impious will perish.
29 Pravični bodo podedovali deželo, in prebivali bodo večno v njej.
But the just will inherit the earth, and they will dwell upon it forever and ever.
30 Pravičnega usta premišljajo modrost, in jezik njegov govori pravico.
The mouth of the just one will express wisdom, and his tongue will speak judgment.
31 V srci njegovem je postava njegovega Boga, noga njegova ne omahuje na hojah svojih.
The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
32 Krivični pa zalezuje pravičnega in želi ga umoriti.
The sinner considers the just one and seeks to put him to death.
33 Gospod ga ne zapusti v roki njegovi, ne dovoli, da se obsodi, ko se sodi.
But the Lord will not abandon him into his hands, nor condemn him, when he will be judged.
34 Pazi na Gospoda in drži se poti njegove: tedaj te povzdigne, da bodeš podedoval deželo, videl krivičnih pogubo.
Wait for the Lord, and keep to his way. And he will exalt you, so as to inherit the land that you may seize. When the sinners will have passed away, then you shall see.
35 Videl sem krivičnega, ko je pognal z veliko močjo, in se razvijal kakor domače drevo zeleneče.
I have seen the impious over-exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Lebanon.
36 Potem je minil, in glej, ni ga bilo več: ker iskal sem ga, a našel se ni.
And I passed by, and behold, he was not. And I sought him, and his place was not found.
37 Opazuj poštenega, in glej pravičnega, konec tega moža je mir.
Keep to innocence, and gaze upon fairness: because there are allotments for the peaceful man.
38 Grešniki pa se pogubljajo vsi vkup; konec krivičnih se iztrebi.
But the unjust will be destroyed together: the allotments of the impious will pass away.
39 Ker blaginja njih je od Gospoda, moč njih o času stiske.
But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in time of tribulation.
40 In pomaga jim Gospod ter otima jih; otima jih krivičnih ter jih ohranja, ker pribegajo k njemu.
And the Lord will help them and free them. And he will rescue them from sinners and save them, because they have hoped in him.
