< Salme 135 >
1 Halleluja! Pris HERRENS Navn, pris det, I HERRENS Tjenere,
Praise JAH. Praise the name of Jehovah. Praise him, you servants of Jehovah,
2 som staar i HERRENS Hus, i vor Guds Huses Forgaarde!
you who stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of our God's house.
3 Pris HERREN, thi god er HERREN, lovsyng hans Navn, thi lifligt er det.
Praise JAH, for Jehovah is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 Thi HERREN udvalgte Jakob, Israel til sin Ejendom.
For JAH has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
5 Ja, jeg ved, at HERREN er stor, vor Herre er større end alle Guder.
For I know that Jehovah is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
6 HERREN gør alt, hvad han vil, i Himlene og paa Jorden, i Have og alle Verdensdyb.
Whatever Jehovah pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 Han lader Skyer stige op fra Jordens Ende, faar Lynene til at give Regn, sender Stormen ud fra sine Forraadskamre;
who causes the clouds to rise from the farthest parts of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 han, som slog Ægyptens førstefødte, baade Mennesker og Kvæg,
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
9 og sendte Tegn og Undere i din Midte, Ægypten, mod Farao og alle hans Folk;
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
10 han, som fældede store Folk og vog saa mægtige Konger,
who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
11 Amoriternes Konge Sihon og Basans Konge Og og alle Kana'ans Riger
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 og gav deres Land i Eje, i Eje til Israel, hans Folk.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
13 HERRE, dit Navn er evigt, din Ihukommelse, HERRE, fra Slægt til Slægt,
Your name, Jehovah, endures forever; your renown, Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 thi Ret skaffer HERREN sit Folk og ynkes over sine Tjenere.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
15 Folkenes Billeder er Sølv og Guld, Værk af Menneskehænder;
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 de har Mund, men taler ikke, Øjne, men ser dog ej;
They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.
17 de har Ører, men hører ikke, ej heller er der Aande i deres Mund.
They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Som dem skal de, der laved dem, blive enhver, som stoler paa dem.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 Lov HERREN, Israels Hus, lov HERREN, Arons Hus,
House of Israel, praise Jehovah. House of Aaron, praise Jehovah.
20 lov HERREN, Levis Hus, lov HERREN, I, som frygter HERREN!
House of Levi, praise Jehovah. You who fear Jehovah, praise Jehovah.
21 Fra Zion være HERREN lovet, han, som bor i Jerusalem!
Blessed be Jehovah from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise JAH.
