Psalms 94
1 O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.
Bože osvetniče, Jahve, Bože osvetniče, pokaži se.
2 Be lifted up, O judge of the earth; let their reward come to the men of pride.
Ustani ti što sudiš zemlju, po zasluzi plati oholima!
3 How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners have joy over us?
Dokle će bezbošci, Jahve, dokle će se bezbošci hvastati?
4 Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.
Dokle će brbljati, drsko govoriti, dokle će se bezakonici hvastati?
5 Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
Tlače narod tvoj, Jahve, i baštinu tvoju pritišću;
6 They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
kolju udovicu i pridošlicu, sirotama život oduzimlju
7 And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
i govore: “Jahve ne vidi! Ne opaža Bog Jakovljev!”
8 Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?
Shvatite, lude u narodu: bezumni, kad ćete se urazumiti?
9 Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?
Onaj što uho zasadi da ne čuje? Koji stvori oko da ne vidi?
10 He who is the judge of the nations, will he not give men the reward of their acts, even he who gives knowledge to man?
Onaj što odgaja narode da ne kazni - Onaj što ljude uči mudrosti?
11 The Lord has knowledge of the thoughts of man, for they are only a breath.
Jahve poznaje namisli ljudske: one su isprazne.
12 Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
Blago onom koga ti poučavaš, Jahve, i učiš Zakonu svojemu:
13 So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.
da mu mir udijeliš od nesretnih dana, dok se grob kopa zlikovcu.
14 The Lord will not give up his people, or take away his support from his heritage;
Jer neće Jahve odbaciti naroda svojega i svoje baštine neće napustiti;
15 But decisions will again be made in righteousness; and they will be kept by all whose hearts are true.
jer će se pravo dosuditi pravednosti i za njom će ići svi čestiti srcem.
16 Who will give me help against the sinners? and who will be my support against the workers of evil?
Tko će ustati za me protiv zlotvora? Tko će se zauzeti za me protiv zločinaca?
17 If the Lord had not been my helper, my soul would quickly have gone down into death.
Da mi Jahve ne pomaže, brzo bih sišao u mjesto tišine.
18 If I say, My foot is slipping; your mercy, O Lord, is my support.
Čim pomislim: “Noga mi posrće”, dobrota me tvoja, o Jahve, podupire.
19 Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
Kad se skupe tjeskobe u srcu mome, tvoje mi utjehe dušu vesele.
20 What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
Zar je bezbožno sudište u savezu s tobom kad nevolje stvara pod izlikom zakona?
21 They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
Nek' samo pritišću dušu pravednog, nek' osuđuju krv nedužnu:
22 But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
Jahve mi je utvrda, Bog - hrid utočišta moga.
23 And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
Platit će im bezakonje njihovo, njihovom će ih zloćom istrijebiti, istrijebit će ih Jahve, Bog naš.
