Salme 132
1 Sang til Festrejserne. HERRE, kom David i Hu for al hans Møje,
Yahweh, do not forget [King] David and all the hardships/troubles he endured!
2 hvorledes han tilsvor HERREN, gav Jakobs Vældige et Løfte:
He made a solemn promise to you, the mighty God whom [our ancestor] Jacob [worshiped].
3 »Jeg træder ej ind i mit Huses Telt, jeg stiger ej op paa mit Leje,
He said, “I will not go home, I will not [rest] on my bed,
4 under ikke mine Øjne Søvn, ikke mine Øjenlaag Hvile,
I will not sleep at all
5 før jeg har fundet HERREN et Sted, Jakobs Vældige en Bolig!«
until I build a place for Yahweh, a home for the mighty God whom Jacob [worshiped].”
6 »Se, i Efrata hørte vi om den, fandt den paa Ja'ars Mark;
In Bethlehem we heard news about the sacred chest. We [went and] found it in the fields of Jearim [city, and we took it to Jerusalem].
7 lad os gaa hen til hans Bolig, tilbede ved hans Fødders Skammel!«
[Later we said], “Let’s go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]; let’s worship [there] in front of the throne [where he sits].”
8 »HERRE, bryd op til dit Hvilested, du og din Vældes Ark!
Yahweh, come to the place where you live eternally, to the place where your sacred chest is, to that place that shows that you are very powerful.
9 Dine Præster være klædte i Retfærd, dine fromme synge med Fryd!
I want/desire that the righteous behavior of your priests [will always be evident], [just like the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET], and that your people will [always] shout joyfully.
10 For din Tjener Davids Skyld afvise du ikke din Salvede!«
You chose David to serve you [as king of Israel]; do not reject/abandon him!
11 HERREN tilsvor David et troværdigt, usvigeligt Løfte: »Af din Livsens Frugt vil jeg sætte Konger paa din Trone.
Yahweh, you made a solemn promise to David, a promise that you will not break. You said, “I will cause your descendants to rule [MTY] as kings like you.
12 Saafremt dine Sønner holder min Pagt og mit Vidnesbyrd, som jeg lærer dem, skal ogsaa deres Sønner sidde evindelig paa din Trone!
If they keep my agreement with them and obey [all] the commands that I will give them, the line of kings descended from you will never end.”
13 Thi HERREN har udvalgt Zion, ønsket sig det til Bolig:
Yahweh has chosen Jerusalem; he has wanted to make that city his home;
14 Her er for evigt mit Hvilested, her vil jeg bo, thi det har jeg ønsket.
he said, “This is the city where I will live forever [DOU]; this is the place where I wanted to stay.
15 Dets Føde velsigner jeg, dets fattige mætter jeg med Brød,
I will give to the people of Jerusalem all that they need; I will give [enough] food [even] to satisfy the poor people there.
16 dets Præster klæder jeg i Frelse, dets fromme skal synge med Fryd.
I will cause the priests [to behave in a manner worthy of] being ones whom I have saved; [that will be as evident as the beautiful] robes that they wear [MET]; and all my people who live there will shout joyfully.
17 Der lader jeg Horn vokse frem for David, sikrer min Salvede Lampe.
There [in Jerusalem] I will cause one of David’s descendants [MET] to become a great king; he also will be my chosen king, and he will be [like a bright] lamp [MET] [that shines continually].
18 Jeg klæder hans Fjender i Skam, men paa ham skal Kronen straale!«
I will [defeat his] enemies and cause them to be very ashamed/disgraced; but the crown that my king wears will [always] shine.”
