Psalmi 38

1 Psalam. Davidov. Za spomen. Jahve, u srdžbi svojoj nemoj ne karati, i nemoj me kazniti u svojemu gnjevu.

A psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Yahweh, do not rebuke me in your anger; do not punish me in your wrath.

2 Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:

For your arrows pierce me, and your hand presses me down.

3 na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema zbog gnjeva tvog, od grijeha mojih mira mi nema kostima.

My whole body is sick because of your anger; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.

4 Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.

For my iniquities overwhelm me; they are a burden too heavy for me.

5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

My wounds are infected and smell because of my foolish sins.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

I am stooped over and humiliated every day; I go about mourning all day long.

7 Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.

For within me, I am filled with burning; there is no health in my flesh.

8 Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.

I am numb and utterly crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.

9 O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.

Lord, you understand my heart's deepest yearnings, and my groanings are not hidden from you.

10 Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.

My heart pounds, my strength fades, and my eyesight dims.

11 Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.

My friends and companions shun me because of my condition; my neighbors stand far off.

12 Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.

Those who seek my life lay snares for me. They who seek my harm speak destructive words and say deceitful words all day long.

13 A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.

But I, I am like a deaf man and hear nothing; I am like a mute man who says nothing.

14 Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.

I am like a man who does not hear and who has no reply.

15 Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!

Surely I wait for you, Yahweh; you will answer, Lord my God.

16 Rekoh: “Nek' se ne raduju nada mnom; kad mi noga posrne, nek' se ne uzdižu nada mnom!”

I say this so that my enemies will not gloat over me. If my foot slips, they will do terrible things to me.

17 Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.

For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.

18 Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.

I confess my guilt; I am concerned about my sin.

19 A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.

But my enemies are numerous; those who hate me wrongfully are many.

20 Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.

They repay me evil for good; they hurl accusations at me although I have pursued what is good.

21 O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!

Do not abandon me, Yahweh; my God, do not stay far away from me.

22 Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!

Come quickly to help me, Lord, my salvation.
