Psalms 94
1 A Psalm of David himself. The Fourth Sabbath. The Lord is the God of retribution. The God of retribution acts in order to deliver.
Oh Gospod Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, oh Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, pokaži se.
2 Lift yourself up, for you judge the earth. Repay the arrogant with retribution.
Dvigni se, ti sodnik zemlje; povrni nagrado ponosnim.
3 How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners glory?
Gospod, doklej bodo zlobni, doklej bodo zlobni slavili zmago?
4 How long will they utter and speak iniquity? How long will all who work injustice speak out?
Kako dolgo bodo izgovarjali in govorili trde stvari in se bahali vsi delavci krivičnosti?
5 They have humiliated your people, O Lord, and they have harassed your inheritance.
Tvoje ljudstvo razbijajo na koščke, oh Gospod in prizadevajo tvojo dediščino.
6 They have executed the widow and the new arrival, and they have slaughtered the orphan.
Ubijajo vdovo in tujca in morijo osirotele.
7 And they have said, “The Lord will not see, nor will the God of Jacob understand.”
Vendar pravijo: » Gospod nas ne bo videl niti Bog Jakobov tega ne bo upošteval.«
8 Understand, you senseless ones among the people. And be wise at last, you foolish ones.
Razumite, vi brutalni izmed ljudstva, in vi bedaki, kdaj boste modri?
9 He who formed the ear, will he not hear? And he who forged the eye, does he not look closely?
Kdor je zasadil uho, da ne bi slišal? Kdor je oblikoval oko, da ne bi videl?
10 He who chastises nations, he who teaches man knowledge, will he not rebuke?
Kdor kaznuje pogane, da ne bi grajal? Kdor uči človeka spoznanja, da ne bi vedel?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men: that these are in vain.
Gospod pozna človekove misli, da so le-te ničevost.
12 Blessed is the man whom you will instruct, O Lord. And you will teach him from your law.
Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ga karaš, oh Gospod in ga učiš iz svoje postave,
13 So may you soothe him from the evil days, until a pit may be dug for sinners.
da mu lahko daš počitek od dni nadloge, dokler ni izkopana jama za zlobnega.
14 For the Lord will not drive away his people, and he will not abandon his inheritance,
Kajti Gospod ne bo zavrgel svojega ljudstva niti ne bo zapustil svoje dediščine.
15 even until the time when justice is being converted into judgment, and when those who are close to justice are all those who are upright of heart.
Toda sodba se bo vrnila k pravičnosti in vsi iskreni v srcu ji bodo sledili.
16 Who will rise up with me against the malignant? Or who will stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
Kdo se bo zame dvignil zoper hudodelce? Ali kdo bo zame vstal zoper delavce krivičnosti?
17 Except that the Lord assisted me, my soul almost would have dwelt in Hell. (questioned)
Če Gospod ne bi bil moja pomoč, bi moja duša skoraj prebivala v tišini.
18 If ever I said, “My foot is slipping,” then your mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
Ko sem rekel: »Moje stopalo zdrsuje, me je podpiralo tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod.
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, your consolations have given joy to my soul.
V množici mojih misli znotraj mene tvoje tolažbe razveseljujejo mojo dušo.
20 Does the seat of iniquity adhere to you, you who contrive hardship within a commandment?
Mar bo prestol krivičnosti, ki z uzakonitvijo snuje vragolijo, imel družbo s teboj?
21 They will hunt down the soul of the just, and they will condemn innocent blood.
Skupaj se zbirajo zoper dušo pravičnega in obsojajo nedolžno kri.
22 And the Lord has been made into a refuge for me, and my God into the assistance of my hope.
Toda Gospod je moja obramba in moj Bog je skala mojega zatočišča.
23 And he will repay them their iniquity, and he will destroy them in their malice. The Lord our God will utterly destroy them.
Nadnje bo privedel njihovo lastno krivičnost in odsekal jih bo v njihovi lastni zlobnosti; da, Gospod, naš Bog, jih bo odsekal.
