< Psalmi 48 >
1 Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised in the city of our Elohim, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
Elohim is known in her palaces for a refuge.
4 Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
5 Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away.
6 Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of YHWH of hosts, in the city of our Elohim: Elohim will establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O Elohim, in the midst of thy temple.
10 Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
According to thy name, O Elohim, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
13 Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 “Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
For this Elohim is our Elohim for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
