Psalms 74
1 Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
Zašto se, Bože, srdiš na nas dugo; dimi se gnjev tvoj na ovce paše tvoje?
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; [and] mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Opomeni se sabora svojega, koji si stekao od starine, iskupio sebi u našljednu državu, gore Siona, na kojoj si se naselio.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
Podigni stope svoje na stare razvaline: sve je razrušio neprijatelj u svetinji.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; they have set up their ensigns for signs.
Rièu neprijatelji tvoji na mjestu sabora tvojih, svoje obièaje postavljaju mjesto naših obièaja.
5 They seemed as men that lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.
Vidiš, oni su kao onaj koji podiže sjekiru na spletene grane u drveta.
6 And now all the carved work thereof together they break down with hatchet and hammers.
Sve u njemu što je rezano razbiše sjekirama i bradvama.
7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling place of thy name even to the ground.
Ognjem sažegoše svetinju tvoju; na zemlju obalivši oskvrniše stan imena tvojega.
8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
Rekoše u srcu svojem: potrimo ih sasvijem. Popališe sva mjesta sabora Božijih na zemlji.
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Obièaja svojih ne vidimo, nema više proroka, i nema u nas ko bi znao dokle æe to trajati.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Dokle æe se, Bože, rugati nasilnik? hoæe li dovijeka protivnik prkositi imenu tvojemu?
11 Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom [and] consume [them].
Zašto ustavljaš ruku svoju i desnicu svoju? Pruži iz njedara svojih, i istrijebi ih.
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Bože, care moj, koji od starine tvoriš spasenje posred zemlje!
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Ti si silom svojom raskinuo more, i satro glave vodenim nakazama.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, thou gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Ti si razmrskao glavu krokodilu, dao ga onima koji žive u pustinji da ga jedu.
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
Ti si otvorio izvore i potoke, ti si isušio rijeke koje ne presišu.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Tvoj je dan i tvoja je noæ, ti si postavio zvijezde i sunce.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Ti si utvrdio sve krajeve zemaljske, ljeto i zimu ti si uredio.
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
Opomeni se toga, neprijatelj se ruga Gospodu, i narod bezumni ne mari za ime tvoje.
19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
Ne daj zvijerima duše grlice svoje, nemoj zaboraviti stada stradalaca svojih zasvagda.
20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
Pogledaj na zavjet; jer su sve peæine zemaljske pune stanova bezakonja.
21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Nevoljnik nek se ne vrati sramotan, ništi i ubogi neka hvale ime tvoje.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
Ustani, Bože, brani stvar svoju, opomeni se kako ti se bezumnik ruga svaki dan!
23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
Ne zaboravi obijesti neprijatelja svojih, vike, koju jednako dižu protivnici tvoji!
