Psalms 34
1 Of David. When he made a change in his behaviour before Abimelech, who sent him away, and he went. I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth.
Davidov. Kada se David pravio ludim pred Abimelekom, a on ALEF Blagoslivljat ću Jahvu u svako doba, njegova će mi hvala biti svagda na ustima!
2 My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.
BET Nek' se Jahvom duša moja hvali: nek' čuju ponizni i nek' se raduju!
3 O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.
GIMEL Veličajte sa mnom Jahvu, uzvisujmo ime njegovo zajedno!
4 I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.
DALETTražio sam Jahvu, i on me usliša, izbavi me od straha svakoga.
5 Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.
HE U njega gledajte i razveselite se, da se ne postide lica vaša.
6 This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.
ZAJIN Eto, jadnik vapi, a Jahve ga čuje, izbavlja ga iz svih tjeskoba.
7 The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.
HET Anđeo Jahvin tabor podiže oko njegovih štovalaca da ih spasi.
8 By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.
TET Kušajte i vidite kako dobar je Jahve: blago čovjeku koji se njemu utječe!
9 Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.
JOD Bojte se Jahve, vi sveti njegovi: ne trpe oskudice koji ga se boje.
10 The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.
KAF Osiromašiše mogućnici i gladuju, a koji traže Jahvu ne trpe oskudice.
11 Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.
LAMED Dođite, djeco, i poslušajte me, učit ću vas strahu Gospodnjem.
12 What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?
MEM O čovječe, ljubiš li život? Želiš li dane mnoge uživati dobra?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from words of deceit.
NUN Jezik svoj oda zla suspreži i usne od riječi prijevarnih!
14 Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart.
SAMEK Zla se kloni, a čini dobro, traži mir i za njim idi!
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.
PE Oči Jahvine gledaju pravedne, uši mu slušaju vapaje njihove.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to take away the memory of them from the earth.
AJIN Lice se Jahvino okreće protiv zločinaca da im spomen zatre na zemlji.
17 The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.
SADE Pravednici zazivaju, i Jahve ih čuje, izbavlja ih iz svih tjeskoba.
18 The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.
KOF Blizu je Jahve onima koji su skršena srca, a klonule duše spasava.
19 Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.
REŠ Mnoge nevolje ima pravednik, ali ga Jahve od svih izbavlja.
20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
ŠIN On čuva sve kosti njegove: ni jedna mu se neće slomiti.
21 Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.
TAU Opakost bezbošca ubija, platit će koji mrze pravednika.
22 The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.
Jahve izbavlja duše slugu svojih, i neće platiti tko god se njemu utječe.
