Psalmi 116
1 Ljubim Jahvu jer čuje vapaj molitve moje:
I love Yahweh because he hears my voice and my pleas for mercy.
2 uho svoje prignu k meni u dan u koji ga zazvah.
Because he listened to me, I will call on him as long as I live.
The cords of death surrounded me, and the snares of Sheol confronted me; I felt anguish and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)
4 Tada zazvah ime Jahvino: “O Jahve, spasi život moj!”
Then I called on the name of Yahweh: “Please Yahweh, rescue my life.”
5 Dobrostiv je Jahve i pravedan, pun sućuti je Bog naš.
Yahweh is merciful and fair; our God is compassionate.
6 Jahve čuva bezazlene: u nevolji bijah, on me izbavi.
Yahweh protects the naive; I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Vrati se, dušo moja, u svoj pokoj, jer Jahve je dobrotvor tvoj.
My soul can return to its resting place, for Yahweh has been good to me.
8 On mi život od smrti izbavi, oči moje od suza, noge od pada.
For you rescued my life from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.
9 Hodit ću pred licem Jahvinim u zemlji živih.
I will serve Yahweh in the land of the living.
10 Ja vjerujem i kada kažem: “Nesretan sam veoma.”
I believed in him, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”
11 U smetenosti svojoj rekoh: “Svaki je čovjek lažac!”
In my confusion I said, “All men are liars.”
12 Što da uzvratim Jahvi za sve što mi je učinio?
How can I repay Yahweh for all his kindnesses to me?
13 Uzet ću čašu spasenja i zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will raise the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Yahweh.
14 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim.
I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people.
15 Dragocjena je u očima Jahvinim smrt pobožnika njegovih.
Precious in the sight of Yahweh is the death of his saints.
16 Jahve, tvoj sam sluga, tvoj sluga, sin sluškinje tvoje: ti si razriješio okove moje.
Yahweh, indeed, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your servant woman; you have taken away my bonds.
17 Tebi ću prinijeti žrtve zahvalne, zazvat ću ime Jahvino.
I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and will call on the name of Yahweh.
18 Izvršit ću Jahvi zavjete svoje pred svim pukom njegovim,
I will fulfill my vows to Yahweh in the presence of all his people,
19 u predvorjima Doma Jahvina, posred tebe, Jeruzaleme!
in the courts of Yahweh's house, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
