< Psalmi 10 >

1 Zakaj stojiš daleč stran, oh Gospod? Zakaj se skrivaš v časih stiske?
Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 Zlobni v svojem ponosu preganjajo revnega. Naj se ujamejo v naklepe, ki so si jih domislili.
In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
3 Kajti zlobni se baha z željo svojega srca in blagoslavlja pohlepnega, ki ga Gospod prezira.
For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, and he blesses the greedy, scorning the LORD.
4 Zlobni zaradi ponosa svojega obličja ne bo povpraševal po Bogu. V vseh njegovih mislih ni Boga.
The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek. All his thoughts are "There is no God."
5 Njegove poti so vedno boleče, tvoje sodbe so daleč zgoraj izven njegovega pogleda. Glede na vse njegove sovražnike on puha nanje.
His ways are firm at all times. Your judgments are turned aside. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
6 V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ne bom omajan, kajti nikoli ne bom v nadlogi.«
He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. From generation to generation I shall not experience calamity."
7 Njegova usta so polna preklinjanj, prevare in sleparstva. Pod njegovim jezikom je vragolija in prazne reči.
His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
8 Sedi v skrivališčih vasi. Na skrivnih krajih mori nedolžnega. Njegove oči so na skrivaj naravnane zoper revnega.
He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
9 Na skrivnem preži kakor lev v svojem brlogu. Leži na preži, da ujame revnega. Revnega ujame, ko ga vleče v svojo mrežo.
He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
10 Klečeplazi in se ponižuje, da lahko revni pade po njegovih močnih.
The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
11 V svojem srcu je rekel: »Bog je pozabil. Skriva svoj obraz, tega nikoli ne bo videl.«
He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it."
12 Vstani, oh Gospod, oh Bog, dvigni svojo roko. Ne pozabi ponižnega.
Arise, LORD. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.
13 Zakaj zlobni zaničuje Boga? V svojem srcu je rekel: »Ti tega ne boš zahteval.«
Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "You will not seek (an accounting)."
14 To si videl, kajti gledaš vragolijo in zlobnost, da to poplačaš s svojo roko. Revni se ti izroča, pomočnik si osirotelemu.
But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
15 Zlomi laket zlobnemu in zlemu človeku. Preiskuj njegovo zlobnost, dokler je ne najdeš več.
Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
16 Gospod je Kralj na veke vekov. Pogani so izginili iz njegove dežele.
The LORD is King forever and ever. The nations have perished from his land.
17 Gospod, slišal si hrepenenje ponižnih. Pripravil boš njihovo srce, svojemu ušesu boš povzročil, da sliši,
LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
18 da razsodiš osirotelega in zatiranega, da človek iz zemlje ne more več zatirati.
to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
