Psalmi 94
1 Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.
God of vengeance — Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth.
2 Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!
Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud.
3 Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?
Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult?
4 Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?
They utter — they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves.
5 Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;
Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict.
6 kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju
Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder.
7 i govore: “Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!”
And they say, 'Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.'
8 Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?
Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?
9 Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?
He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see?
10 Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?
He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah.
11 Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.
He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
12 Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:
O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him,
13 da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.
To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked.
14 Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;
For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not.
15 jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.
For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart,
16 Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?
Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity?
17 Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.
Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence.
18 Čim pomislim: “Noga mi posrće”, dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.
If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.
19 Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.
In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?
Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute?
21 Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:
They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked.
22 Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.
And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock — my refuge,
23 Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.
And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off!
