Psalms 139
1 O lord, you have searched me, and known me.
Zborovođi. Davidov. Jahve, proničeš me svega i poznaješ,
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up, you understand my thought afar off.
ti znaš kada sjednem i kada ustanem, izdaleka ti već misli moje poznaješ.
3 You compass my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
Hodam li ili ležim, sve ti vidiš, znani su ti svi moji putovi.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, see, O LORD, you know it altogether.
Riječ mi još nije na jezik došla, a ti, Jahve, sve već znadeš.
5 You have beset me behind and before, and laid your hand on me.
S leđa i s lica ti me obuhvaćaš, na mene si ruku svoju stavio.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain to it.
Znanje to odveć mi je čudesno, previsoko da bih ga dokučio.
7 Where shall I go from your spirit? or where shall I flee from your presence?
Kamo da idem od duha tvojega i kamo da od tvog lica pobjegnem?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, 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 dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Uzmem li krila zorina pa se naselim moru na kraj
10 Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
i ondje bi me ruka tvoja vodila, desnica bi me tvoja držala.
11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Reknem li: “Nek' me barem tmine zakriju i nek' me noć umjesto svjetla okruži!” -
12 Yes, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you.
ni tmina tebi neće biti tamna: noć sjaji kao dan i tama kao svjetlost.
13 For you have possessed my reins: you have covered me in my mother’s womb.
Jer ti si moje stvorio bubrege, satkao me u krilu majčinu.
14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.
Hvala ti što sam stvoren tako čudesno, što su djela tvoja predivna. Dušu moju do dna si poznavao,
15 My substance was not hid from you, when I was made in secret, and curiously worked in the lowest parts of the earth.
kosti moje ne bjehu ti sakrite dok nastajah u tajnosti, otkan u dubini zemlje.
16 Your eyes did see my substance, yet being imperfect; and in your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
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 precious also are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Kako su mi, Bože, naumi tvoji nedokučivi, kako li je neprocjenjiv zbroj njihov.
18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with you.
Da ih brojim? Više ih je nego pijeska! Dođem li im do kraja, ti mi preostaješ!
19 Surely you will slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, you bloody men.
De, istrijebi, Bože, zlotvora, krvoloci nek' odstupe od mene!
20 For they speak against you wickedly, and your enemies take your name in vain.
Jer podmuklo se bune protiv tebe, uzalud se dižu tvoji dušmani.
21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate you? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against you?
Jahve, zar da ne mrzim tvoje mrzitelje? Zar da mi se ne gade protivnici tvoji?
22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them my enemies.
Mržnjom dubokom ja ih mrzim i držim ih svojim neprijateljima.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
Pronikni me svega, Bože, srce mi upoznaj, iskušaj me i upoznaj misli moje:
24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
pogledaj, ne idem li putem pogubnim i povedi me putem vječnim!
