Žalmy 147
1 Chvalte Hospodina, nebo dobré jest zpívati žalmy Bohu našemu, nebo rozkošné jest, a ozdobná jest chvála.
Praise Yahweh! It is good to sing to praise our God. It is a delightful thing to do and the right thing to do.
2 Stavitel Jeruzaléma Hospodin, rozptýlený lid Izraelský shromažďuje,
[Jerusalem was destroyed, but] Yahweh is [enabling us to] build Jerusalem again. He is bringing back the people who were taken [to Babylonia].
3 Kterýž uzdravuje skroušené srdcem, a uvazuje bolesti jejich,
He enables those who were very discouraged to be encouraged again; [it is as though] they have wounds and he bandages them.

He has determined how many stars there will be, and he gives names to all of them.
5 Velikýť jest Pán náš, a nesmírný v síle; rozumnosti jeho není počtu.
Yahweh is great and very powerful, and no one can measure how much he understands.
6 Pozdvihuje pokorných Hospodin, ale bezbožné snižuje až k zemi.
Yahweh lifts up those who have been oppressed, and he throws the wicked down to the ground.
7 Zpívejte Hospodinu s díkčiněním, zpívejte žalmy Bohu našemu na citaře,
Thank Yahweh while you are singing to him to praise him; on the harps, play music to our God.
8 Kterýž zastírá nebesa hustými oblaky, nastrojuje zemi déšť, a vyvodí trávu na horách.
He covers the sky with clouds, [and then] he sends rain to the earth and causes grass to grow on the hills.
9 Kterýž dává hovadům potravu jejich, i mladým krkavcům, kteříž volají k němu.
He gives to animals the food that they [need], and gives food to young crows/birds when they cry out [because they are hungry].
10 Nemáť v síle koně zalíbení, aniž se kochá v lejtkách muže udatného.
He is not pleased with strong horses or with men who can run [MTY] fast.
11 Líbost má Hospodin v těch, kteříž se ho bojí, a kteříž doufají v milosrdenství jeho.
Instead, what pleases him are those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to continue to faithfully love them.
12 Chval, Jeruzaléme, Hospodina, chval Boha svého, Sione.
[You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, praise Yahweh! Praise your God!
13 Nebo on utvrzuje závory bran tvých, požehnání udílí synům tvým u prostřed tebe.
He [guards your city] by keeping its gates strong. He blesses the people who live there.
14 On působí v končinách tvých pokoj, a bělí pšeničnou nasycuje tě.
He protects the borders [of your country, so that enemies from other countries cannot attack you]. He gives you plenty of very good wheat/grain to eat.
15 On když vysílá na zemi rozkaz svůj, velmi rychle k vykonání běží slovo jeho.
He commands what he wants to be done on the earth, and his words quickly come to the place to which he sends them.
16 Onť dává sníh jako vlnu, jíním jako popelem posýpá.
He sends snow which [covers the ground] like a white wool blanket [SIM], and he scatters frost [on the ground] like [wind scatters] ashes [SIM].
17 Hází ledem svým jako skyvami; před zimou jeho kdo ostojí?
He sends hail down like (pebbles/tiny stones); [when that happens], (it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold./who can endure because the air becomes very cold?) [RHQ]
18 Vysílaje slovo své, rozpouští je; hned jakž povane větrem svým, anť tekou vody.
[But] he commands the wind to blow, and it blows. [Then the hail] melts and [the water] flows [into the streams].
19 Zvěstuje slovo své Jákobovi, ustanovení svá a soudy své Izraelovi.
He sent his message to [the descendants of] Jacob; [he tells to his] Israeli people the laws and regulations that he had decreed.
20 Neučinilť tak žádnému národu, a protož soudů jeho nepoznali. Halelujah.
He has not done that for any other nation; the other nations do not know his laws. Praise Yahweh!
