Psalmi 15

1 Psalam. Davidov. Jahve, tko smije prebivati u šatoru tvome, tko li stanovati na svetoj gori tvojoj?

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 Onaj samo tko živi čestito, koji čini pravicu, i istinu iz srca zbori,

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 i ne kleveće jezikom; koji bližnjem zla ne nanosi i ne sramoti susjeda svoga;

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 koji zlikovca prezire, a poštuje one što se Jahve boje;

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 koji se zaklinje prijatelju, a ne krši prisege, i ne daje novca na lihvu, i ne prima mita protiv nedužna. Tko tako čini, pokolebat' se neće dovijeka.

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
