Psalmi 50
1 Psalam. Asafov. Bog nad bogovima, Jahve, govori i zove zemlju od izlaza sunčeva do zalaza.
A Psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord, has spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down [thereof].
2 Sa Siona predivnog Bog zablista:
Out of Sion [comes] the excellence of his beauty.
3 Bog naš dolazi i ne šuti. Pred njim ide oganj što proždire, oko njega silna bjesni oluja.
God, our God, shall come manifestly, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall be kindled before him, and round about him there shall be a very great tempest.
4 On zove nebesa odozgo i zemlju da sudi narodu svojemu:
He shall summon the heaven above, and the earth, that he may judge his people.
5 “Saberite mi sve pobožnike koji žrtvom Savez sa mnom sklopiše!”
Assemble you his saints to him, those that have engaged in a covenant with him upon sacrifices.
6 Nebesa objavljuju pravednost njegovu: on je Bog sudac!
And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge. (Pause)
7 “Slušaj, narode moj, ja ću govoriti, o Izraele, svjedočit ću protiv tebe: ja, Bog - Bog tvoj!
Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel: and I will testify to you: I am God, your God.
8 Ne korim te zbog žrtava tvojih - paljenice su tvoje svagda preda mnom.
I will not reprove you on account of your sacrifices; for your whole burnt offerings are before me continually.
9 Neću od doma tvog' uzet junca, ni jaraca iz tvojih torova:
I will take no bullocks out of your house, nor he-goats out of your flocks.
10 tÓa moje su sve životinje šumske, tisuće zvjeradi u gorama mojim.
For all the wild beasts of the thicket are mine, the cattle on the mountains, and oxen.
11 Znam sve ptice nebeske, moje je sve što se miče u poljima.
I know all the birds of the sky; and the beauty of the field is mine.
12 Kad bih ogladnio, ne bih ti rekao, jer moja je zemlja i sve što je ispunja.
If I should be hungry, I will not tell you: for the world is mine, and the fullness of it.
13 Zar da ja jedem meso bikova ili da pijem krv jaraca?
Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 Prinesi Bogu žrtvu zahvalnu, ispuni Višnjemu zavjete svoje!
Offer to God the sacrifice of praise; and pay your vows to the Most High.
15 I zazovi me u dan tjeskobe: oslobodit ću te, a ti ćeš me slaviti.”
And call upon me in the day of affliction; and I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me. (Pause)
16 A grešniku Bog progovara: “Što tumačiš naredbe moje, što mećeš u usta Savez moj?
But to the sinner God has said, Why do you declare my ordinances, and take up my covenant in your mouth?
17 Ti, komu stega ne prija, te riječi moje iza leđa bacaš?
Whereas you have hated instruction, and have cast my words behind [you].
18 Kad tata vidiš, s njime se bratimiš i družiš se s preljubnicima.
If you saw a thief, you ran along with him, and have cast in your lot with adulterers.
19 Svoja si usta predao pakosti, a jezik ti plete prijevare.
Your mouth has multiplied wickedness, and your tongue has framed deceit.
20 U društvu na brata govoriš i kaljaš sina matere svoje.
You did sit and speak against your brother, and did scandalize your 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.”
These things you did, and I kept silence: you thought wickedly that I should be like you, [but] I will reprove you, and set [your offenses] before you.
22 Shvatite ovo svi vi koji Boga zaboraviste, da vas ne pograbim i nitko vas spasiti neće.
Now consider these things, you that forget God, lest he rend [you], and there is no deliverer.
23 Pravo me štuje onaj koji prinosi žrtvu zahvalnu: i onomu koji hodi stazama pravim - njemu ću pokazati spasenje svoje.
The sacrifice of praise will glorify me: and that is the way wherein I will show to him the salvation of God.
