< Psalmi 50 >

1 Psalam. Asafov. Bog nad bogovima, Jahve, govori i zove zemlju od izlaza sunčeva do zalaza.
A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.
2 Sa Siona predivnog Bog zablista:
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
3 Bog naš dolazi i ne šuti. Pred njim ide oganj što proždire, oko njega silna bjesni oluja.
Our God approaches and will not be silent! Consuming fire precedes Him, and a tempest rages around Him.
4 On zove nebesa odozgo i zemlju da sudi narodu svojemu:
He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:
5 “Saberite mi sve pobožnike koji žrtvom Savez sa mnom sklopiše!”
“Gather to Me My saints, who made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
6 Nebesa objavljuju pravednost njegovu: on je Bog sudac!
And the heavens proclaim His righteousness, for God Himself is Judge.
7 “Slušaj, narode moj, ja ću govoriti, o Izraele, svjedočit ću protiv tebe: ja, Bog - Bog tvoj!
“Hear, O My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
8 Ne korim te zbog žrtava tvojih - paljenice su tvoje svagda preda mnom.
I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices, and your burnt offerings are ever before Me.
9 Neću od doma tvog' uzet junca, ni jaraca iz tvojih torova:
I have no need for a bull from your stall or goats from your pens,
10 tÓa moje su sve životinje šumske, tisuće zvjeradi u gorama mojim.
for every beast of the forest is Mine— the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 Znam sve ptice nebeske, moje je sve što se miče u poljima.
I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are Mine.
12 Kad bih ogladnio, ne bih ti rekao, jer moja je zemlja i sve što je ispunja.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine, and the fullness thereof.
13 Zar da ja jedem meso bikova ili da pijem krv jaraca?
Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Prinesi Bogu žrtvu zahvalnu, ispuni Višnjemu zavjete svoje!
Sacrifice a thank offering to God, and fulfill your vows to the Most High.
15 I zazovi me u dan tjeskobe: oslobodit ću te, a ti ćeš me slaviti.”
Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
16 A grešniku Bog progovara: “Što tumačiš naredbe moje, što mećeš u usta Savez moj?
To the wicked, however, God says, “What right have you to recite My statutes and to bear My covenant on your lips?
17 Ti, komu stega ne prija, te riječi moje iza leđa bacaš?
For you hate My instruction and cast My words behind you.
18 Kad tata vidiš, s njime se bratimiš i družiš se s preljubnicima.
When you see a thief, you befriend him, and throw in your lot with adulterers.
19 Svoja si usta predao pakosti, a jezik ti plete prijevare.
You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit.
20 U društvu na brata govoriš i kaljaš sina matere svoje.
You sit and malign your brother; you slander your own mother’s son.
21 Sve si to činio, a ja da šutim? Zar misliš da sam ja tebi sličan? Pokarat ću te i stavit ću ti sve to pred oči.”
You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
22 Shvatite ovo svi vi koji Boga zaboraviste, da vas ne pograbim i nitko vas spasiti neće.
Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:
23 Pravo me štuje onaj koji prinosi žrtvu zahvalnu: i onomu koji hodi stazama pravim - njemu ću pokazati spasenje svoje.
He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rights his way, I will show the salvation of God.”
