Psalmi 37
1 Davidov. ALEF Nemoj se žestiti na opake, zavidjet nemoj pakosnicima:
BY DAVID. [ALEPH-BET] Do not fret because of evildoers, Do not be envious against doers of iniquity,
2 kao trava brzo se osuše, k'o mlada zelen brzo uvenu.
For they are cut off speedily as grass, And fade as the greenness of the tender grass.
3 BET U Jahvu se uzdaj i čini dobro, da smiješ stanovati u zemlji i živjeti u miru.
Trust in YHWH, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,
4 Sva radost tvoja neka bude Jahve: on će ispuniti želje tvoga srca!
And delight yourself on YHWH, And He gives to you the petitions of your heart.
5 GIMEL Prepusti Jahvi putove svoje, u njega se uzdaj i on će sve voditi.
Roll your way on YHWH, And trust on Him, and He works,
6 Pravda će tvoja zasjati k'o svjetlost i tvoje pravo k'o sunce podnevno.
And has brought out your righteousness as light, And your judgment as noon-day.
7 DALET Smiri se pred Jahvom i njemu se nadaj, ne žesti se na onog koji ima sreće, na čovjeka koji spletke kuje.
Be silent for YHWH, and stay yourself for Him, Do not fret because of him Who is making his way prosperous, Because of a man doing wicked schemes.
8 HE Stišaj svoj gnjev i ostavi se srdžbe, ne žesti se da zlo ne učiniš.
Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Do not fret yourself to only do evil.
9 Jer će biti satrti zlikovci, a koji se u Jahvu uzdaju, baštinit će zemlju.
For evildoers are cut off, As for those waiting on YHWH, they possess the land.
10 VAU Još malo i nestat će bezbožnika: mjesto ćeš njegovo tražiti, a njega više nema.
And yet a little [while], and the wicked is not, And you have considered his place, and it is not.
11 Zemlju će posjedovati krotki, obilje mira oni će uživat'.
And the humble possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.
12 ZAJIN Bezbožnik smišlja zlo pravedniku i zubima škrguće na njega.
The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing his teeth against him.
13 A Gospod se njemu smije jer vidi da dan njegov dolazi.
The Lord laughs at him, For He has seen that his day comes.
14 HET Mač potežu bezbošci i zapinju lukove da obore jadnika i siromaha, da pokolju one koji hode pravim putem.
The wicked have opened a sword, And they have bent their bow, To cause the poor and needy to fall, To slaughter the upright of the way.
15 Mačem će vlastito srce probiti, slomit će se njihovi lukovi.
Their sword enters into their own heart, And their bows are shattered.
16 TET Bolje je i malo u pravednika no golemo blago u zlotvora:
Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of many wicked.
17 jer će se ruke zlotvora slomiti, a Jahve je oslon pravedniku.
For the arms of the wicked are shattered, And YHWH is sustaining the righteous.
18 JOD Jahve se brine za život čestitih, dovijeka će trajati baština njihova.
YHWH knows the days of the perfect, And their inheritance is for all time.
19 Neće se postidjeti u vrijeme nevolje, bit će siti u danima gladi.
They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And they are satisfied in days of famine.
20 KAF A bezbožnici će propasti, dušmani Jahvini povenut će k'o ures livada, poput dima se rasplinuti.
But the wicked perish, and the enemies of YHWH, Have been consumed as the preciousness of lambs, They have been consumed in smoke.
21 LAMED Bezbožnik zaima, ali ne vraća, pravednik se sažaljeva i daje.
The wicked is borrowing and does not repay, And the righteous is gracious and giving.
22 Oni koje Jahve blagoslovi baštinit će zemlju, a koje prokune bit će zatrti.
For His blessed ones possess the land, And His reviled ones are cut off.
23 MEM Jahve vodi i učvršćuje korake čovjeku i mio mu je put njegov.
The steps of a man [are] from YHWH, They have been prepared, And He desires his way.
24 Ako i posrne, ne pada jer ga Jahve drži za ruku.
When he falls, he is not cast down, For YHWH is sustaining his hand.
25 NUN Mlad bijah i ostarjeh, al' ne vidjeh pravednika napuštena ili da mu djeca kruha prose.
I have been young, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
26 Uvijek je milosrdan i u zajam daje, na njegovu je potomstvu blagoslov.
All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
27 SAMEK Zla se kloni i čini dobro, i ostat ćeš dovijeka.
Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell for all time.
28 Jer Jahve ljubi pravdu i pobožnika svojih ne ostavlja. AJIN Zauvijek će biti zatrti zlikovci, istrijebit će se potomstvo bezbožnika.
For YHWH is loving judgment, And He does not forsake His saintly ones, They have been kept for all time, And the seed of the wicked is cut off.

The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide.
32 SADE Bezbožnik vreba pravednoga i smišlja da ga usmrti.
The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.
33 Jahve ga neće ostaviti u njegovoj vlasti i neće dopustiti da ga na sudu osude.
YHWH does not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
34 KOF U Jahvu se uzdaj i drži se puta njegova: on će te uzvisit' i baštinit ćeš zemlju; radostan ćeš gledati propast bezbožnih.
Look to YHWH, and keep His way, And He exalts you to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off—you see!
35 REŠ Vidjeh obijesna zlotvora gdje se k'o cedar krošnjat širi.
I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
36 Prođoh, i gle - nema ga više; potražih ga i ne nađoh.
And he passes away, and behold, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
37 ŠIN Promatraj čestita i gledaj neporočna: mirotvorac ima potomstvo.
Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
38 A grešnici bit će svi iskorijenjeni, istrijebit će se zlikovačko sjeme.
And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
39 TAU Od Jahve dolazi spas pravednicima, on im je zaklon u vrijeme nevolje.
And the salvation of the righteous [is] from YHWH, Their strong place in a time of adversity.
40 Jahve im pomaže, on ih izbavlja: on će ih izbaviti od zlotvora i spasiti, jer u njemu traže okrilje.
And YHWH helps them and delivers them, He delivers them from the wicked, And saves them, Because they trusted in Him!
