Psalms 94
1 Yahweh, you are able to get revenge [on your enemies]. [So] show them that you are going to punish them!
Sinä koston Jumala, Herra, sinä koston Jumala, ilmesty kirkkaudessa.
2 You are the one who judges all [people on] the earth; [so] arise, and give/punish the proud [leaders of our] people like they deserve.
Nouse, maan tuomari, kosta ylpeille heidän tekonsa.
3 Yahweh, how long will those wicked [people] be glad/happy? It is not right that [RHQ] they continue being glad!
Kuinka kauan jumalattomat, Herra, kuinka kauan jumalattomat saavat riemuita?
4 They do evil things, and they boast about doing them; how long will they [be allowed to] continue doing that?
Ne syytävät suustaan julkeita sanoja, ne röyhkeilevät, kaikki nuo väärintekijät.
5 Yahweh, [it is as though] those wicked people crush [us], your people; they (oppress/treat cruelly) those who belong to you [DOU].
Sinun kansaasi, Herra, he runtelevat, ja sinun perintöosaasi he rasittavat.
6 They murder widows and orphans and people from other countries who [think it is safe to] live in our land.
He tappavat leskiä ja muukalaisia ja murhaavat orpoja.
7 Those wicked people say, “Yahweh does not see anything; [so] the God whom those Israelis [worship] does not see [the evil things that we do].”
Ja he sanovat: "Ei Herra sitä näe, ei Jaakobin Jumala sitä huomaa".
8 You evil people [who rule Israel], you are foolish and stupid; when will you become wise [RHQ]?
Ymmärtäkää, te kansan järjettömät, ja te tomppelit-milloin te tulette järkiinne?
9 God made our ears; so [do you think that] he cannot hear [what you say] [RHQ]? He created our eyes; so do you think that he cannot see [the evil things that you do] [RHQ]?
Joka on korvan istuttanut, hänkö ei kuulisi? Joka on silmän luonut, hänkö ei näkisi?
10 He also scolds [the leaders of other] nations; so do you think that he will not punish [you] [RHQ]? He is the one who knows everything; [so why do you think that he does not know what you do] [RHQ]?
Joka kansat kasvattaa, hänkö ei rankaisisi, hän, joka ihmisille opettaa tiedon?
11 Yahweh knows [everything] that people are thinking; he knows that what they think ([is useless/vanishes as quickly as]) smoke [MET].
Herra tuntee ihmisten ajatukset; sillä he ovat kuin tuulen henkäys.
12 Yahweh, you are pleased with people who [want you to] discipline/correct them, those who [want you to] teach them your laws.
Autuas se mies, jota sinä, Herra, kuritat ja jolle sinä opetat lakisi,
13 When those people have had troubles, you cause those troubles to cease, and some day [it will be as though] you will dig pits for wicked people, and they will fall into those pits [and die].
antaaksesi hänelle rauhan pahoilta päiviltä, kunnes jumalattomalle on kaivettu hauta!
14 Yahweh will not abandon his people; he will not desert like that those who belong to him [DOU].
Sillä Herra ei hylkää kansaansa eikä perintöosaansa heitä,
15 [Some day] judges will decide matters fairly for people, and all honest/righteous people will be pleased about that.
vaan oikeus on vielä noudattava vanhurskautta, ja kaikki oikeamieliset seuraavat sitä.
16 But when wicked [people] ([oppressed me/treated me cruelly]), (who defended me?/no one defended me.) [RHQ] No one stood up to testify for me against those evil people [RHQ].
Kuka nousee minun puolelleni pahoja vastaan, kuka asettuu minun rinnalleni väärintekijöitä vastaan?
17 If Yahweh had not helped me [at that time], [I would have been executed], [and] my soul/spirit would have gone to the place where [dead people] say nothing.
Ellei Herra olisi minun apuni, pian minun sieluni asuisi hiljaisuuden maassa.
18 I said/thought [to myself], “I am about to die,” but Yahweh, you held me up by faithfully loving me.
Kun minä ajattelen: "Minun jalkani horjuu", niin sinun armosi, Herra, minua tukee.
19 Whenever I am very worried, you comfort/encourage me and cause me to be happy.
Kun minulla on sydämessäni paljon murheita, niin sinun lohdutuksesi ilahuttaa minun sieluni.
20 You have nothing to do with wicked judges, who establish laws that allow people to do what is not legal.
Onko yhteyttä sinun kanssasi turmion tuomioistuimella, jossa väkivaltaa tehdään lain varjolla,
21 They plan to get rid of righteous [people], and they declare that (innocent people/people who have not done what is wrong) must be executed.
ahdistetaan vanhurskaan sielua ja tuomitaan syylliseksi viaton veri?
22 But Yahweh (has become [like] my fortress/protects me) [MET]; my God is [like a huge] rock under which I am protected/safe [MET].
Mutta Herra on minun linnani, Jumalani on minun suojakallioni.
23 He will punish those wicked leaders in return for the wicked things that they have done, and will get rid of them for the sins that they have committed; [yes], Yahweh our God will (wipe them out/destroy them completely).
Hän kostaa heille heidän ilkityönsä ja hukuttaa heidät heidän pahuutensa tähden. Herra, meidän Jumalamme, hukuttaa heidät.
