Psalmi 83

1 Pjesma. Psalam. Asafov. Ne šuti, Jahve, ne budi nijem i nemoj mirovati, Bože!

[A song. A Psalm by Asaph.] God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf, and do not be inactive, God.

2 Jer evo: dušmani tvoji buče, i mrzitelji tvoji glave podižu.

For, look, your enemies make an uproar. Those who hate you are hostile.

3 Protiv naroda se tvoga rote i svjetuju se protiv štićenika tvojih.

They devise crafty plans against your people, and conspire together against your treasured ones.

4 Govore: “Dođite, zatrimo ih da ne budu narod, nek' se ime Izrael više ne spominje!”

They say, "Come, and let us annihilate them as a nation; let the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

5 Zaista, jednodušno se svjetuju i protiv tebe savez sklopiše:

For they plot a unified strategy; they make a covenant against you;

6 šatori edomski i Jišmaelci, Moapci i Hagrijci,

the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites,

7 Gebal i Amon i Amalek, Filisteja sa stanovnicima Tira.

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.

8 I Asirci se s njima udružiše, pružiše ruke potomcima Lotovim.

Assyria too is joined with them; they lend support to the descendants of Lot. (Selah)

9 Učini njima k'o Midjancima, k'o Siseri i Jabinu na potoku Kišonu:

Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the Kishon River,

10 koji padoše blizu En-Dora i postaše gnojivo njivi.

who were destroyed at Endor, who became manure for the ground.

11 K'o Oreb i Zeb neka budu knezovi njihovi, kao Zebah i Salmuna nek' budu sve vođe njihove

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,

12 koji jednodušno vikahu: “Osvojimo krajeve Božje!”

who said, "Let us take possession for ourselves the pastures of God."

13 Daj, o Bože, da budu kao kovitlac, kao pljeva koju nosi vjetar.

My God, make them like tumbleweed; like dead weeds blown by the wind.

14 Kao što oganj proždire šumu, kao što plamen sažiže bregove,

Like a fire that consumes a forest, and like the flames that consume the mountains,

15 tako ih goni olujom svojom, prestravi ih svojom žestinom!

so pursue them with your gale winds, and terrify them with your storm.

16 Pokrij im lice sramotom, da traže tvoje ime, Jahve!

Cover their faces with shame, so that they might seek your name, YHWH.

17 Neka se stide i plaše navijek, neka se posrame i neka izginu!

Let them be put to shame and terrified forever; let them perish in disgrace,

18 Nek' znaju: ti si komu je ime Jahve, jedini Višnji nada svom zemljom.

that they will know that you alone, whose name is YHWH, are the Most High over all the earth.
