Psalmi 147
1 Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu jer je dobar, pjevajte Bogu našem jer je sladak; svake hvale on je dostojan!
Praise Yahweh, for it is good to sing praises to our God, it is pleasant, and praise is suitable.
2 Jahve gradi Jeruzalem, sabire raspršene Izraelce.
Yahweh rebuilds Jerusalem, he gathers together the scattered people of Israel.
3 On liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4 On određuje broj zvijezda, svaku njezinim imenom naziva.
He counts the stars, he gives names to all of them.
5 Velik je naš Gospodin i svesilan, nema mjere mudrosti njegovoj.
Great is our Lord and awesome in power, his understanding cannot be measured.
6 Jahve pridiže ponizne, zlotvore do zemlje snizuje.
Yahweh lifts up the oppressed, he brings the wicked down to the ground.
7 Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu zahvalnu, svirajte na citari Bogu našem!
Sing to Yahweh with thanksgiving, sing praises to our God with a harp.
8 Oblacima on prekriva nebesa i zemlji kišu sprema; daje da po bregovima raste trava i bilje na službu čovjeku.
He covers the heavens with clouds and prepares rain for the earth, making the grass to grow on the mountains.
9 On stoci hranu daje i mladim gavranima kada grakću.
He gives food to the animals and to the young ravens when they cry.
10 Za konjsku snagu on ne mari nit' mu se mile bedra čovječja.
He finds no delight in the strength of a horse, he takes no pleasure in the strong legs of a man.
11 Mili su Jahvi oni koji se njega boje, koji se uzdaju u dobrotu njegovu.
Yahweh takes pleasure in those who honor him, who hope in his covenant faithfulness.
12 Slavi Jahvu, Jeruzaleme, hvali Boga svoga, Sione!
Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, praise your God, Zion.
13 On učvrsti zasune vrata tvojih, blagoslovi u tebi tvoje sinove.
For he strengthens the bars of your gates, he blesses your children among you.
14 On dade mir granicama tvojim, pšenicom te hrani najboljom.
He brings prosperity inside your borders, he satisfies you with the finest of wheat.
15 Besjedu svoju šalje na zemlju, brzo trči riječ njegova.
He sends out his commandment to earth, his command runs very swiftly.
16 Kao vunu snijeg razbacuje, prosipa mraz poput pepela.
He makes the snow like wool, he scatters the frost like ashes.
17 On sipa grÓad kao zalogaje, voda mrzne od njegove studeni.
He dispenses the hail like crumbs, who can withstand the cold he sends?
18 Riječ svoju pošalje i vode se tope; dunu vjetrom i vode otječu.
He sends out his command and melts them, he makes the wind to blow and the water to flow.
19 Riječ svoju on objavi Jakovu, odluke svoje i zakone Izraelu.
He proclaimed his word to Jacob, his statutes and his righteous decrees to Israel.
20 Ne učini tako nijednom narodu: nijednom naredbe svoje ne objavi! Aleluja!
He has not done so with any other nation, and as for his decrees, they do not know them. Praise Yahweh.
