Psalmi 79
1 Bože! neznabošci doðoše u dostojanje tvoje; oskvrniše svetu crkvu tvoju, Jerusalim pretvoriše u zidine.
A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 Truplje sluga tvojih dadoše pticama nebeskijem da ih jedu, tijela svetaca tvojih zvijerima zemaljskim.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your holy ones to the animals of the earth.
3 Proliše krv njihovu kao vodu oko Jerusalima, i ne bješe ko da pogrebe.
They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4 Postadosmo potsmijeh u susjeda svojih, rugaju nam se i sramote nas koji su oko nas.
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
5 Dokle æeš se, Gospode, jednako gnjeviti, jarost tvoja gorjeti kao oganj?
How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Izlij gnjev svoj na narode koji te ne znaju, i na carstva koja ne prizivlju tvojega imena.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
7 Jer izjedoše Jakova, i naselje njegovo opustiše.
for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
8 Ne pominji preðašnjih bezakonja naših, veæ pohitaj da nas presreteš milosrðem svojim, jer smo veoma ološali.
Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
9 Pomozi nam, Bože, spasitelju naš, radi slave imena svojega, izbavi nas i oèisti od grijeha naših radi imena svojega.
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
10 Zašto da govore neznabošci: gdje je Bog njihov? Neka se pokaže pred oèima našim osveta nad neznabošcima za prolitu krv sluga tvojih!
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
11 Neka izaðu pred lice tvoje uzdasi sužanjski, silom mišice svoje saèuvaj namijenjene smrti.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
12 Sedminom vrati u njedra susjedima našim ruženje, kojim te ružiše, Gospode!
Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
13 A mi narod tvoj i ovce paše tvoje dovijeka æemo tebe slaviti i od koljena na koljeno kazivati hvalu tvoju.
So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
