Psalmi 139
1 Zborovođi. Davidov. Jahve, proničeš me svega i poznaješ,
For the leader. Of David, a psalm. O Lord, you search and know me;
2 ti znaš kada sjednem i kada ustanem, izdaleka ti već misli moje poznaješ.
when I sit, when I rise you know it, you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 Hodam li ili ležim, sve ti vidiš, znani su ti svi moji putovi.
When I walk, when I lie you sift it, familiar with all my ways.
4 Riječ mi još nije na jezik došla, a ti, Jahve, sve već znadeš.
There is not a word on my tongue, but see! Lord, you know it all.
5 S leđa i s lica ti me obuhvaćaš, na mene si ruku svoju stavio.
Behind and before you beset me, upon me you lay your hand.
6 Znanje to odveć mi je čudesno, previsoko da bih ga dokučio.
It’s too wonderful for me to know too lofty I cannot attain it.
7 Kamo da idem od duha tvojega i kamo da od tvog lica pobjegnem?
Whither shall I go from your spirit? Or whither shall I flee from your face?
If I climb up to heaven, you are there: or make Sheol my bed, you are there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Uzmem li krila zorina pa se naselim moru na kraj
If I lift up the wings of the morning and fly to the end of the sea,
10 i ondje bi me ruka tvoja vodila, desnica bi me tvoja držala.
there also your hand would grasp me, and your right hand take hold of me.
11 Reknem li: “Nek' me barem tmine zakriju i nek' me noć umjesto svjetla okruži!” -
If I say, “Let the darkness cover me, and night be the light about me,”
12 ni tmina tebi neće biti tamna: noć sjaji kao dan i tama kao svjetlost.
The dark is not dark for you, but night is as light as the day.
13 Jer ti si moje stvorio bubrege, satkao me u krilu majčinu.
For you did put me together; in my mother’s womb you did weave me.
14 Hvala ti što sam stvoren tako čudesno, što su djela tvoja predivna. Dušu moju do dna si poznavao,
I give you praise for my fashioning so full of awe, so wonderful. Your works are wonderful. You knew me right well;
15 kosti moje ne bjehu ti sakrite dok nastajah u tajnosti, otkan u dubini zemlje.
my bones were not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, and woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Oči tvoje već tada gledahu djela moja, sve već bješe zapisano u knjizi tvojoj: dani su mi određeni dok još ne bješe ni jednoga.
Your eyes saw all my days: they stood on your book every one written down, before they were fashioned, while none of them yet was mine.
17 Kako su mi, Bože, naumi tvoji nedokučivi, kako li je neprocjenjiv zbroj njihov.
But how far, O God, beyond measure are your thoughts! How mighty their sum!
18 Da ih brojim? Više ih je nego pijeska! Dođem li im do kraja, ti mi preostaješ!
Should I count, they are more than the sand. When I wake, I am still with you.
19 De, istrijebi, Bože, zlotvora, krvoloci nek' odstupe od mene!
Will you slay the wicked, O God? And remove from me the bloodthirsty,
20 Jer podmuklo se bune protiv tebe, uzalud se dižu tvoji dušmani.
who maliciously defy you and take your name in vain.
21 Jahve, zar da ne mrzim tvoje mrzitelje? Zar da mi se ne gade protivnici tvoji?
Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord? Do I not loathe those who resist you?
22 Mržnjom dubokom ja ih mrzim i držim ih svojim neprijateljima.
With perfect hatred I hate them, I count them my enemies.
23 Pronikni me svega, Bože, srce mi upoznaj, iskušaj me i upoznaj misli moje:
Search me, O God, know my heart: test me, and know my thoughts,
24 pogledaj, ne idem li putem pogubnim i povedi me putem vječnim!
and see if guile be in me; and lead me in the way everlasting.
