< Žalmy 105 >

1 Oslavujte Hospodina, ohlašujte jméno jeho, oznamujte mezi národy skutky jeho.
O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
2 Zpívejte jemu, žalmy prozpěvujte jemu, rozmlouvejte o všech divných skutcích jeho.
Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
3 Chlubte se jménem svatým jeho; vesel se srdce těch, kteříž hledají Hospodina.
Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
4 Hledejte Hospodina a síly jeho, hledejte tváři jeho ustavičně.
Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
5 Rozpomínejte se na divné skutky jeho, kteréž činil, na zázraky jeho a na soudy úst jeho,
Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
6 Símě Abrahamovo, služebníka jeho, synové Jákobovi, vyvolení jeho.
O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
7 Onť jest Hospodin Bůh náš, na vší zemi soudové jeho.
He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
8 Pamatuje věčně na smlouvu svou, na slovo, kteréž přikázal až do tisíce pokolení,
He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
9 Kteréž upevnil s Abrahamem, a na přísahu svou učiněnou Izákovi.
The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
10 Nebo ji utvrdil Jákobovi za ustanovení, Izraelovi za smlouvu věčnou,
And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
11 Pravě: Tobě dám zemi Kananejskou za podíl dědictví vašeho,
Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
12 Ješto jich byl malý počet, malý počet, a ještě v ní byli pohostinu.
When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;
13 Přecházeli zajisté z národu do národu, a z království k jinému lidu.
When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.
14 Nedopustil žádnému ublížiti jim, ano i krále pro ně trestal, řka:
He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
15 Nedotýkejte se pomazaných mých, a prorokům mým nečiňte nic zlého.
Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
16 Když přivolav hlad na zemi, všecku hůl chleba polámal,
And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.
17 Poslal před nimi muže znamenitého, jenž za služebníka prodán byl, totiž Jozefa.
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:
18 Jehož nohy sevřeli pouty, železa podniknouti musil,
His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;
19 Až do toho času, když se zmínka stala o něm; řeč Hospodinova zkusila ho.
Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.
20 Poslav král, propustiti ho rozkázal, panovník lidu svobodna ho učinil.
The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.
21 Ustanovil ho pánem domu svého, a panovníkem všeho vládařství svého,
He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;
22 Aby vládl i knížaty jeho podlé své líbosti, a starce jeho vyučoval moudrosti.
To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.
23 Potom všel Izrael do Egypta, a Jákob pohostinu byl v zemi Chamově.
Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.
24 Kdež rozmnožil Bůh lid svůj náramně, a učinil, aby silnější byl nad nepřátely své.
And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.
25 Změnil mysl těchto, aby v nenávisti měli lid jeho, a aby ukládali lest o služebnících jeho.
Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.
26 I poslal Mojžíše slouhu svého, a Arona, kteréhož vyvolil.
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.
27 Kteříž předložili jim slova znamení jeho a zázraků v zemi Chamově.
He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 Poslal tmu, a zatmělo se, aniž odporná byla slovu jeho.
He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.
29 Obrátil vody jejich v krev, a zmořil ryby v nich.
At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.
30 Vydala země jejich množství žab, i v pokoleních králů jejich.
Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.
31 Řekl, i přišla směsice žížal, a stěnice na všecky končiny jejich.
He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.
32 Dal místo deště krupobití, oheň hořící na zemi jejich,
He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 Tak že potloukl réví jejich i fíkoví jejich, a zpřerážel dříví v krajině jejich.
He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.
34 Řekl, i přišly kobylky a chroustů nesčíslné množství.
At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,
35 I sežrali všelikou bylinu v krajině jejich, a pojedli úrody země jejich.
And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.
36 Nadto pobil všecko prvorozené v zemi jejich, počátek všeliké síly jejich.
He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.
37 Tedy vyvedl své s stříbrem a zlatem, aniž byl v pokoleních jejich, ješto by se poklesl.
He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.
38 Veselili se Egyptští, když tito vycházeli; nebo byl připadl na ně strach Izraelských.
Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.
39 Roztáhl oblak k zastírání jich, a oheň k osvěcování noci.
A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.
40 K žádosti přivedl křepelky, a chlebem nebeským sytil je.
At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.
41 Otevřel skálu, i tekly vody, a odcházely přes vyprahlá místa jako řeka.
His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.
42 Nebo pamětliv byl na slovo svatosti své, k Abrahamovi služebníku svému mluvené.
For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43 Protož vyvedl lid svůj s radostí, s prozpěvováním vyvolené své.
And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:
44 A dal jim země pohanů, a tak úsilí národů dědičně obdrželi,
And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;
45 Aby zachovávali ustanovení jeho, a práv jeho ostříhali. Halelujah.
So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.
