Psalmi 38

1 Psalam. Davidov. Za spomen. Jahve, u srdžbi svojoj nemoj ne karati, i nemoj me kazniti u svojemu gnjevu.

A Psalm of David. A lament. Reprove me not, Lord, in your anger, and chasten me not in your wrath;

2 Strijele se tvoje u me zabodoše, ruka me tvoja teško pritisnu:

for your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand lies heavy upon me.

3 na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema zbog gnjeva tvog, od grijeha mojih mira mi nema kostima.

In my flesh is no soundness because of your anger, no health in my bones, because of my sin.

4 Zloće moje glavu su mi nadišle, kao preteško breme tište me.

For that my guilt is gone over my head: it weighs like a burden too heavy for me.

5 Rane moje zaudaraju i gnjiju zbog bezumnosti moje.

My wounds stink and fester, for my foolishness I am tormented.

6 Pogurih se sav i zgrčih, povazdan lutam žalostan.

Bent and bowed am I utterly, all the day going in mourning.

7 Moji bokovi puni su ognjice, na tijelu mi ništa zdravo nema.

My loins are filled with burning, and in my flesh is no soundness.

8 Iscrpljen sam i satrven posve, stenjem od jecanja srca svojega.

I am utterly crushed and numb; I cry louder than lion roars.

9 O Gospode, sve su mi želje pred tobom, i vapaji moji nisu ti skriveni.

Lord, you know all that I long for, my groans are not hidden from you.

10 Srce mi udara silno, snaga me ostavlja i svjetlost vida očinjeg gasi se.

My heart is throbbing, my strength has failed me. The light of my eyes – even it is gone from me.

11 Prijatelji i drugovi od rana mojih uzmakoše, i moji najbliži stoje daleko.

My dear ones and friends keep aloof, and my neighbors stand afar off.

12 Namještaju mi zamke oni koji mi život vrebaju, koji mi žele nesreću, propašću mi prijete i uvijek smišljaju prijevare.

They who aim at my life lay their snares, they who seek my hurt speak of ruin, nursing treachery all the day long.

13 A ja sam kao gluh i ništa ne čujem i, kao nijem, usta ne otvaram.

But I turn a deaf ear and hear not; like the dumb I open not my mouth.

14 Postadoh k'o čovjek koji ne čuje i koji u ustima nema odgovora.

I am like one without hearing, with no arguments in my mouth.

15 Jer u tebe se, o Jahve, uzdam, ti ćeš me uslišati, Jahve, Bože moj!

For my hope, O Lord, is in you. You will answer, O Lord my God,

16 Rekoh: “Nek' se ne raduju nada mnom; kad mi noga posrne, nek' se ne uzdižu nada mnom!”

when I utter the hope that those who made scorn of my tottering feet may not rejoice over me.

17 Jer umalo ne propadoh, i moja je bol svagda preda mnom.

For I am ready to fall, my pain forsakes me never.

18 Bezakonje svoje ja priznajem i pun sam žalosti zbog grijeha svojega.

I acknowledge my guilt, I am anxious because of my sin:

19 A koji su bez razloga protiv mene, moćni su, i mnogi su koji me mrze nepravedno.

My wanton assailants are strong, those who wrongfully hate me are many,

20 Za dobro zlom mi uzvraćaju, protive mi se što tražim dobro.

who render me evil for good, and oppose me, because I make good my goal.

21 O Jahve, ne ostavljaj me! Bože moj, ne udaljuj se od mene!

Do not forsake me, O Lord; my God, be not far from me.

22 Požuri se meni u pomoć, Gospode, spase moj!

Hasten to help me, O Lord my savior.
