Psalmi 94
1 Oh Gospod Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, oh Bog, ki mu pripada maščevanje, pokaži se.
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs; O God, to whom vengeance belongs, show yourself.
2 Dvigni se, ti sodnik zemlje; povrni nagrado ponosnim.
Lift up yourself, you judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Gospod, doklej bodo zlobni, doklej bodo zlobni slavili zmago?
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Kako dolgo bodo izgovarjali in govorili trde stvari in se bahali vsi delavci krivičnosti?
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Tvoje ljudstvo razbijajo na koščke, oh Gospod in prizadevajo tvojo dediščino.
They break in pieces your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage.
6 Ubijajo vdovo in tujca in morijo osirotele.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Vendar pravijo: » Gospod nas ne bo videl niti Bog Jakobov tega ne bo upošteval.«
Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Razumite, vi brutalni izmed ljudstva, in vi bedaki, kdaj boste modri?
Understand, all of you brutish among the people: and all of you fools, when will all of you be wise?
9 Kdor je zasadil uho, da ne bi slišal? Kdor je oblikoval oko, da ne bi videl?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Kdor kaznuje pogane, da ne bi grajal? Kdor uči človeka spoznanja, da ne bi vedel?
He that chastises the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teaches man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 Gospod pozna človekove misli, da so le-te ničevost.
The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ga karaš, oh Gospod in ga učiš iz svoje postave,
Blessed is the man whom you chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
13 da mu lahko daš počitek od dni nadloge, dokler ni izkopana jama za zlobnega.
That you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be dug for the wicked.
14 Kajti Gospod ne bo zavrgel svojega ljudstva niti ne bo zapustil svoje dediščine.
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Toda sodba se bo vrnila k pravičnosti in vsi iskreni v srcu ji bodo sledili.
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Kdo se bo zame dvignil zoper hudodelce? Ali kdo bo zame vstal zoper delavce krivičnosti?
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Če Gospod ne bi bil moja pomoč, bi moja duša skoraj prebivala v tišini.
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Ko sem rekel: »Moje stopalo zdrsuje, me je podpiralo tvoje usmiljenje, oh Gospod.
When I said, My foot slips; your mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 V množici mojih misli znotraj mene tvoje tolažbe razveseljujejo mojo dušo.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me your comforts delight my soul.
20 Mar bo prestol krivičnosti, ki z uzakonitvijo snuje vragolijo, imel družbo s teboj?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by a law?
21 Skupaj se zbirajo zoper dušo pravičnega in obsojajo nedolžno kri.
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 Toda Gospod je moja obramba in moj Bog je skala mojega zatočišča.
But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 Nadnje bo privedel njihovo lastno krivičnost in odsekal jih bo v njihovi lastni zlobnosti; da, Gospod, naš Bog, jih bo odsekal.
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
