Psalms 74
1 The understanding of Asaph. O God, why have you rejected us to the end. Why has your fury become enraged over the sheep of your pasture?
Oh Bog, zakaj nas zavračaš za vedno? Zakaj se tvoja jeza kadi proti ovcam tvoje paše?
2 Be mindful of your congregation, which you have possessed from the beginning. You redeemed the scepter of your inheritance, mount Zion, in which you have dwelt.
Spomni se svoje skupnosti, ki si jo odkupil od davnine, palico svoje dediščine, ki si jo odkupil, to goro Sion, kjer prebivaš.
3 Lift up your hands against their arrogance in the end. How great the malice of the enemy has been in the sanctuary!
Dvigni svoja stopala k neprestanim opustošenjem, celó vsemu kar je sovražnik zlobnega storil v svetišču.
4 And those who hate you have been glorified, in the midst of your solemnity. They have set up their own signs as a proof,
Tvoji sovražniki rjovijo v sredi tvojih skupnosti, svoje zastave so postavili za znamenja.
5 as if it had been issued from on high; yet they did not understand. As in a forest of chopped wood,
Človek je bil slaven, če je nad debela drevesa dvigoval sekire.
6 they have cut down the entrances themselves. With axe and hatchet, they have brought it down.
Toda sedaj so s sekirami in kladivi takoj zlomili rezljano delo le-tega.
7 They have set fire to your Sanctuary. They have polluted the tabernacle of your name on earth.
Ogenj so vrgli v tvoje svetišče, s podrtjem do tal so omadeževali bivališče tvojega imena.
8 They have said in their heart, the whole group of them together: “Let us cause all the feast days of God to cease from the land.
V svojih srcih so rekli: »Skupaj jih uničimo.« V deželi so požgali vse Božje sinagoge.
9 We have not seen our proof; there is now no prophet. And he will no longer know us.”
Ne vidimo svojih znamenj. Nobenega preroka ni več niti tukaj med nami ni nobenega, ki ve doklej.
10 How long, O God, will the enemy place blame? Is the adversary to provoke your name until the end?
Oh Bog, doklej bo nasprotnik grajal? Mar bo sovražnik na veke preklinjal tvoje ime?
11 Why do you turn your hand away, even your right hand, from the midst of your sinews, until the end?
Zakaj umikaš svojo roko, celó svojo desnico? Iztrgaj jo iz svojega naročja.
12 But God is our king before all ages. He has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
Kajti Bog je moj Kralj od davnine, ki dela rešitev duš v sredi zemlje.
13 In your virtue, you confirmed the sea. You crushed the heads of the serpents in the waters.
S svojo močjo si razdelil morje. Razbijaš glave zmajem v vodah.
14 You have broken the heads of the serpent. You have given him as food for the people of the Ethiopians.
Razbijaš glave leviatána na koščke in ga daješ, da postane hrana ljudstvu, ki prebiva v divjini.
15 You have disrupted the fountains and the torrents. You have dried up the rivers of Ethan.
Združil si studenec in morje, osušuješ mogočne reke.
16 Yours is the day, and yours is the night. You have made the morning light and the sun.
Dan je tvoj, tudi noč je tvoja, pripravil si svetlobo in sonce.
17 You have made all the limits of the earth. The summer and the spring were formed by you.
Določil si vse meje zemlje. Naredil si poletje in zimo.
18 Be mindful of this: the enemy placed blame against the Lord, and a foolish people has incited against your name.
Spomni se, da je sovražnik grajal, oh Gospod in da je nespametno ljudstvo izrekalo bogokletje proti tvojemu imenu.
19 Do not hand over to beasts the souls that confess to you; and do not forget the souls of your poor until the end.
Oh ne izročaj duše svoje grlice množici zlobnih. Ne pozabi skupnosti svojih ubogih na veke.
20 Consider your covenant. For those who have been darkened upon the earth have been filled by the iniquity of the houses.
Ozri se k zavezi, kajti temni kraji zemlje so polni prebivališč krutosti.
21 Do not allow the humble to be turned away in confusion. The poor and the needy will praise your name.
Oh naj se zatirani ne vrne osramočen. Naj ubog in pomoči potreben hvalita tvoje ime.
22 Rise up, O God, judge your own case. Call to mind the accusations against you, which are made by the foolish all day long.
Vstani, oh Bog, zagovarjaj svojo lastno pravdo. Spomni se, kako te nespameten človek dnevno graja.
23 Do not forget the voices of your adversaries. The arrogance of those who hate you rises up continually.
Ne pozabi glasu svojih sovražnikov. Hrup teh, ki vstajajo zoper tebe, se nenehno povečuje.
