Psalmi 94

1 Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.

O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.

2 Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!

Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.

3 Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?

How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?

4 Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?

They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.

5 Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;

They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.

6 kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju

They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.

7 i govore: “Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!”

They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”

8 Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?

Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?

9 Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?

He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?

10 Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?

He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?

11 Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.

The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

12 Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:

Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,

13 da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.

to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;

For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.

15 jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.

Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?

Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.

Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

18 Čim pomislim: “Noga mi posrće”, dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.

If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.

19 Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.

When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.

20 Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?

Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?

21 Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:

They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

22 Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.

But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.

23 Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.

He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
