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