Psalmi 147
1 Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu jer je dobar, pjevajte Bogu našem jer je sladak; svake hvale on je dostojan!
Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; let praise be sweetly sung to our God.
2 Jahve gradi Jeruzalem, sabire raspršene Izraelce.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem; and he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 On liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove.
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.
4 On određuje broj zvijezda, svaku njezinim imenom naziva.
He numbers the multitudes of stars; and calls them all by names.
5 Velik je naš Gospodin i svesilan, nema mjere mudrosti njegovoj.
Great is our Lord, and great is his strength; and his understanding is infinite.
6 Jahve pridiže ponizne, zlotvore do zemlje snizuje.
The Lord lifts up the meek; but brings sinners down to the ground.
7 Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu zahvalnu, svirajte na citari Bogu našem!
Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:
8 Oblacima on prekriva nebesa i zemlji kišu sprema; daje da po bregovima raste trava i bilje na službu čovjeku.
who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men; ]]
9 On stoci hranu daje i mladim gavranima kada grakću.
and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 Za konjsku snagu on ne mari nit' mu se mile bedra čovječja.
He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with 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 them that fear him, and in all that hope in his mercy.
12 Slavi Jahvu, Jeruzaleme, hvali Boga svoga, Sione!
Alleluia, a Psalm of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Sion.
13 On učvrsti zasune vrata tvojih, blagoslovi u tebi tvoje sinove.
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.
14 On dade mir granicama tvojim, pšenicom te hrani najboljom.
He makes your borders peaceful, and fills you with the flour of wheat.
15 Besjedu svoju šalje na zemlju, brzo trči riječ njegova.
He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
16 Kao vunu snijeg razbacuje, prosipa mraz poput pepela.
He gives snow like wool: he scatters the mist like ashes.
17 On sipa grÓad kao zalogaje, voda mrzne od njegove studeni.
Casting [forth] his ice like morsels: who shall stand before his cold?
18 Riječ svoju pošalje i vode se tope; dunu vjetrom i vode otječu.
He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow [with] his wind, and the waters shall flow.
19 Riječ svoju on objavi Jakovu, odluke svoje i zakone Izraelu.
He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgements to Israel.
20 Ne učini tako nijednom narodu: nijednom naredbe svoje ne objavi! Aleluja!
He has not done so to any [other] nation; and he has not shown them his judgements.
