Psalmi 94
1 Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.
A Psalm of David for the fourth [day] of the week. The Lord is a God of vengeance; the God of vengeance has declared himself.
2 Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!
Be thou exalted, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?
How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast?
4 Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?
They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity will speak [so].
5 Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;
They have afflicted thy people, O Lord, and hurt thine heritage.
6 kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju
They have slain the widow and fatherless, and murdered the stranger.
7 i govore: “Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!”
And they said, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
8 Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?
Understand now, ye simple among the people; and ye fools, at length be wise.
9 Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?
He that planted the ear, does he not hear? or he that formed the eye, does not he perceive?
10 Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?
He that chastises the heathen, shall not he punish, [even] he that teaches man knowledge?
11 Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.
The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
12 Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:
Blessed is the man whomsoever thou shalt chasten, O Lord, and shalt teach him out of thy law;
13 da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.
to give him rest from evil days, until a pit be digged for the sinful one.
14 Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;
For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
15 jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.
until righteousness return to judgment, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. (Pause)
16 Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?
Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.
If the Lord had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in Hades.
18 Čim pomislim: “Noga mi posrće”, dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.
If I said, My foot has been moved;
19 Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.
thy mercy, O Lord, helped me. O Lord, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, thy consolation have soothed my soul.
20 Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frames mischief by an ordinance?
21 Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:
They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
22 Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.
But the Lord was my refuge; and my God the helper of my hope.
23 Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.
And he will recompense to them their iniquity and their wickedness: the Lord our God shall utterly destroy them.
