Psalmi 46
1 Zborovođi. Sinova Korahovih. Po napjevu “Djevice”. Pjesma. Bog nam je zaklon i utvrda, pomoćnik spreman u nevolji.
God is the one who protects us and causes us to be strong; he is always ready to help us when we have troubles.
2 Stoga, ne bojmo se kad se ljulja zemlja, kad se bregovi ruše u more.
So, even if the earth shakes, we will not be afraid. Even if the mountains fall into the middle of the sea,
3 Nek' buče i bjesne valovi morski, nek' bregovi dršću od žestine njihove: s nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!
and if the water in the sea roars and foams, and the hills shake violently, we will not be afraid!
4 Rijeka i rukavci njezini vesele Grad Božji, presveti šator Višnjega.
[Blessings that come from] God are like a river that makes everyone in the city where [we worship] God joyful. It is the city where the temple of God, who is greater than any other god, exists.
5 Bog je sred njega, poljuljat se neće, od rane zore Bog mu pomaže.
God is in this city, and it will never be destroyed; he will [come to] help [the people in] that city at dawn every day.
6 Ma bješnjeli puci, rušila se carstva, kad glas njegov zagrmi, zemlja se rastopi:
[Sometimes] the [people of many] nations are terrified; kingdoms (are overthrown/cease to exist); God speaks [loudly like thunder], and the earth melts (OR, people everywhere become terrified) [MET].
7 s nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!
But Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
8 Dođite, gledajte djela Jahvina, strahote koje on na zemlji učini.
Come and (see/think about) the amazing things that Yahweh has done [DOU]!
9 Do nakraj zemlje on ratove prekida, lukove krši i lomi koplja, štitove ognjem sažiže.
He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows [and arrows]; he destroys spears; he burns up shields.
10 Prestanite i znajte da sam ja Bog, uzvišen nad pucima, nad svom zemljom uzvišen!
[God says], “Be quiet, and remember that I am God! I will be honored by the people of all nations. I will be honored all over the earth.”
11 S nama je Jahve nad Vojskama, naša je utvrda Bog Jakovljev!
[So never forget that] Yahweh, the commander of the armies of heaven, is with us; the God whom Jacob worshiped (OR, we Israeli people worship) is our refuge.
