Psalmi 19
1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Nebesa slavu Božju kazuju, naviješta svod nebeski djelo ruku njegovih.
For the leader. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God’s glory, the sky tells what his hands have done.
2 Dan danu to objavljuje, a noć noći glas predaje.
Day tells it to day, night reveals it to night,
3 Nije to riječ, a ni govor nije, nije ni glas što se može čuti,
without speaking, without words; without the sound of voices.
4 al' po zemlji razliježe se jeka, riječi sve do nakraj svijeta sežu. Ondje suncu razape šator,
But through all the world their voice carries their words to the ends of the earth. He has pitched a tent for the sun in the sky,
5 te ono k'o ženik iz ložnice ide, k'o div kliče kad prelijeće stazu.
it comes out like a bridegroom from his bridal chamber, it joyfully runs its course like a hero.
6 Izlazi ono od nebeskog kraja, i put mu se opet s krajem spaja, ne skriva se ništa žaru njegovu.
From one end of the heavens it rises, and round it runs to the other, and nothing hides from its heat.
7 Savršen je Zakon Jahvin - dušu krijepi; pouzdano je Svjedočanstvo Jahvino - neuka uči;
The law of the Lord is perfect, renewing life. The decrees of the Lord are trusty, making the simple wise.
8 prÓava je naredba Jahvina - srce sladi; čista je zapovijed Jahvina - oči prosvjetljuje;
The behests of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.
9 neokaljan strah Jahvin - ostaje svagda; istiniti sudovi Jahvini - svi jednako pravedni,
The fear of the Lord is clean, it endures forever. The Lord’s judgments are true and right altogether.
10 dragocjeniji od zlata, od zlata čistoga, slađi od meda, meda samotoka.
More precious are they than gold – than fine gold in plenty, and sweeter they are than honey, that drops from the comb.
11 Sluga tvoj pomno na njih pazi, vrlo brižno on ih čuva.
By them is your servant warned; who keeps them has rich reward.
12 Ali tko propuste svoje da zapazi? Od potajnih grijeha očisti me!
Who can know their flaws? Absolve me from those I know not.
13 Od oholosti čuvaj slugu svoga da mnome ne zavlada. Tad ću biti neokaljan, čist od grijeha velikoga.
Keep your servant from wilful sins – from falling under their sway: then blameless and clear will I be from great offence.
14 Moje ti riječi omiljele i razmišljanje srca moga pred licem tvojim. Jahve, hridi moja, otkupitelju moj!
May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, Lord, my rock and redeemer.
