Psalmi 147
1 Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu jer je dobar, pjevajte Bogu našem jer je sladak; svake hvale on je dostojan!
Give praise to the Lord; for it is good to make melody to our God; praise is pleasing and beautiful.
2 Jahve gradi Jeruzalem, sabire raspršene Izraelce.
The Lord is building up Jerusalem; he makes all the outlaws of Israel come together.
3 On liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove.
He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.
4 On određuje broj zvijezda, svaku njezinim imenom naziva.
He sees the number of the stars; he gives them all their names.
5 Velik je naš Gospodin i svesilan, nema mjere mudrosti njegovoj.
Great is our Lord, and great his power; there is no limit to his wisdom.
6 Jahve pridiže ponizne, zlotvore do zemlje snizuje.
The Lord gives help to the poor in spirit; but he sends sinners down in shame.
7 Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu zahvalnu, svirajte na citari Bogu našem!
Make songs of praise to the Lord; make melody to our God with instruments of music.
8 Oblacima on prekriva nebesa i zemlji kišu sprema; daje da po bregovima raste trava i bilje na službu čovjeku.
By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.
9 On stoci hranu daje i mladim gavranima kada grakću.
He gives food to every beast, and to the young ravens in answer to their cry.
10 Za konjsku snagu on ne mari nit' mu se mile bedra čovječja.
He has no delight in the strength of a horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Mili su Jahvi oni koji se njega boje, koji se uzdaju u dobrotu njegovu.
The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.
12 Slavi Jahvu, Jeruzaleme, hvali Boga svoga, Sione!
Give praise to the Lord, O Jerusalem; give praise to your God, O Zion.
13 On učvrsti zasune vrata tvojih, blagoslovi u tebi tvoje sinove.
He has made strong the iron bands of your doors; he has sent blessings on your children inside your walls.
14 On dade mir granicama tvojim, pšenicom te hrani najboljom.
He gives peace in all your land, making your stores full of fat grain.
15 Besjedu svoju šalje na zemlju, brzo trči riječ njegova.
He sends out his orders to the earth; his word goes out quickly.
16 Kao vunu snijeg razbacuje, prosipa mraz poput pepela.
He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.
17 On sipa grÓad kao zalogaje, voda mrzne od njegove studeni.
He sends down ice like raindrops: water is made hard by his cold.
18 Riječ svoju pošalje i vode se tope; dunu vjetrom i vode otječu.
At the outgoing of his word, the ice is turned to water; when he sends out his wind, there is a flowing of waters.
19 Riječ svoju on objavi Jakovu, odluke svoje i zakone Izraelu.
He makes his word clear to Jacob, teaching Israel his laws and his decisions.
20 Ne učini tako nijednom narodu: nijednom naredbe svoje ne objavi! Aleluja!
He has not done these things for any other nation: and as for his laws, they have no knowledge of them. Let the Lord be praised.
