Psalmi 94
1 Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.
A Psalm of David himself. The Fourth Sabbath. The Lord is the God of retribution. The God of retribution acts in order to deliver.
2 Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!
Lift yourself up, for you judge the earth. Repay the arrogant with retribution.
3 Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?
How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners glory?
4 Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?
How long will they utter and speak iniquity? How long will all who work injustice speak out?
5 Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;
They have humiliated your people, O Lord, and they have harassed your inheritance.
6 kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju
They have executed the widow and the new arrival, and they have slaughtered the orphan.
7 i govore: “Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!”
And they have said, “The Lord will not see, nor will the God of Jacob understand.”
8 Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?
Understand, you senseless ones among the people. And be wise at last, you foolish ones.
9 Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?
He who formed the ear, will he not hear? And he who forged the eye, does he not look closely?
10 Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?
He who chastises nations, he who teaches man knowledge, will he not rebuke?
11 Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.
The Lord knows the thoughts of men: that these are in vain.
12 Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:
Blessed is the man whom you will instruct, O Lord. And you will teach him from your law.
13 da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.
So may you soothe him from the evil days, until a pit may be dug for sinners.
14 Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;
For the Lord will not drive away his people, and he will not abandon his inheritance,
15 jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.
even until the time when justice is being converted into judgment, and when those who are close to justice are all those who are upright of heart.
16 Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?
Who will rise up with me against the malignant? Or who will stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.
Except that the Lord assisted me, my soul almost would have dwelt in Hell. (questioned)
18 Čim pomislim: “Noga mi posrće”, dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.
If ever I said, “My foot is slipping,” then your mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
19 Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.
According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, your consolations have given joy to my soul.
20 Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?
Does the seat of iniquity adhere to you, you who contrive hardship within a commandment?
21 Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:
They will hunt down the soul of the just, and they will condemn innocent blood.
22 Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.
And the Lord has been made into a refuge for me, and my God into the assistance of my hope.
23 Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.
And he will repay them their iniquity, and he will destroy them in their malice. The Lord our God will utterly destroy them.
