Psalms 139

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.

Zborovođi. Davidov. Jahve, proničeš me svega i poznaješ,

2 You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.

ti znaš kada sjednem i kada ustanem, izdaleka ti već misli moje poznaješ.

3 You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.

Hodam li ili ležim, sve ti vidiš, znani su ti svi moji putovi.

4 For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.

Riječ mi još nije na jezik došla, a ti, Jahve, sve već znadeš.

5 I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.

S leđa i s lica ti me obuhvaćaš, na mene si ruku svoju stavio.

6 Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.

Znanje to odveć mi je čudesno, previsoko da bih ga dokučio.

7 Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?

Kamo da idem od duha tvojega i kamo da od tvog lica pobjegnem?

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there. (Sheol h7585)

Ako se na nebo popnem, ondje si, ako u Podzemlje legnem, i ondje si. (Sheol h7585)

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;

Uzmem li krila zorina pa se naselim moru na kraj

10 Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.

i ondje bi me ruka tvoja vodila, desnica bi me tvoja držala.

11 If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;

Reknem li: “Nek' me barem tmine zakriju i nek' me noć umjesto svjetla okruži!” -

12 Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.

ni tmina tebi neće biti tamna: noć sjaji kao dan i tama kao svjetlost.

13 My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.

Jer ti si moje stvorio bubrege, satkao me u krilu majčinu.

14 I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.

Hvala ti što sam stvoren tako čudesno, što su djela tvoja predivna. Dušu moju do dna si poznavao,

15 My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.

kosti moje ne bjehu ti sakrite dok nastajah u tajnosti, otkan u dubini zemlje.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

Oči tvoje već tada gledahu djela moja, sve već bješe zapisano u knjizi tvojoj: dani su mi određeni dok još ne bješe ni jednoga.

17 How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!

Kako su mi, Bože, naumi tvoji nedokučivi, kako li je neprocjenjiv zbroj njihov.

18 If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.

Da ih brojim? Više ih je nego pijeska! Dođem li im do kraja, ti mi preostaješ!

19 If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.

De, istrijebi, Bože, zlotvora, krvoloci nek' odstupe od mene!

20 For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.

Jer podmuklo se bune protiv tebe, uzalud se dižu tvoji dušmani.

21 Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?

Jahve, zar da ne mrzim tvoje mrzitelje? Zar da mi se ne gade protivnici tvoji?

22 My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.

Mržnjom dubokom ja ih mrzim i držim ih svojim neprijateljima.

23 O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:

Pronikni me svega, Bože, srce mi upoznaj, iskušaj me i upoznaj misli moje:

24 See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal way.

pogledaj, ne idem li putem pogubnim i povedi me putem vječnim!
