Psalms 147
1 Give praise to the Lord; for it is good to make melody to our God; praise is pleasing and beautiful.
Hvalite Gospoda, kajti dobro je peti hvalnice našemu Bogu, kajti to je prijetno in hvala je ljubka.
2 The Lord is building up Jerusalem; he makes all the outlaws of Israel come together.
Gospod je zgradil Jeruzalem; skupaj zbira Izraelove pregnance.
3 He makes the broken-hearted well, and puts oil on their wounds.
Ozdravlja potrte v srcu in povezuje njihove rane.
4 He sees the number of the stars; he gives them all their names.
Šteje število zvezd, vse jih kliče po njihovih imenih.
5 Great is our Lord, and great his power; there is no limit to his wisdom.
Velik je naš Gospod in zelo močan, njegovo razumevanje je neskončno.
6 The Lord gives help to the poor in spirit; but he sends sinners down in shame.
Gospod dviguje krotke; zlobne podira k tlom.
7 Make songs of praise to the Lord; make melody to our God with instruments of music.
Pojte Gospodu z zahvaljevanjem, našemu Bogu pojte hvalo na harfo,
8 By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.
ki nebo pokriva z oblaki, ki za zemljo pripravlja dež, ki daje travi, da raste po gorah.
9 He gives food to every beast, and to the young ravens in answer to their cry.
On daje živali njeno hrano in mladim krokarjem, ki kličejo.
10 He has no delight in the strength of a horse; he takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.
Ne razveseljuje se v moči konja. Ne veseli se človeških nog.
11 The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.
Gospod se veseli tistih, ki se ga bojijo, tistih, ki upajo v njegovo usmiljenje.
12 Give praise to the Lord, O Jerusalem; give praise to your God, O Zion.
Hvali Gospoda, oh Jeruzalem, hvali svojega Boga, oh Sion.
13 He has made strong the iron bands of your doors; he has sent blessings on your children inside your walls.
Kajti utrjuje zapahe tvojih velikih vrat, tvoje otroke je blagoslovil znotraj tebe.
14 He gives peace in all your land, making your stores full of fat grain.
Na tvojih mejah daje mir in te nasičuje z najodličnejšo pšenico.
15 He sends out his orders to the earth; his word goes out quickly.
Svojo zapoved pošilja na zemljo; njegova beseda teče zelo naglo.
16 He gives snow like wool; he sends out ice-drops like dust.
Sneg daje kakor volno, slano razsiplje kakor pepel.
17 He sends down ice like raindrops: water is made hard by his cold.
Svoj led meče kakor koščke; kdo lahko obstane pred njegovim mrazom?
18 At the outgoing of his word, the ice is turned to water; when he sends out his wind, there is a flowing of waters.
Razpošilja svojo besedo in jih topi; svojemu vetru povzroča, da piha in vodam, [da] tečejo.
19 He makes his word clear to Jacob, teaching Israel his laws and his decisions.
Svojo besedo kaže Jakobu, svoje zakone in svoje sodbe Izraelu.
20 He has not done these things for any other nation: and as for his laws, they have no knowledge of them. Let the Lord be praised.
Z nobenim narodom ni tako postopal in glede njegovih sodb, jih oni niso spoznali. Hvalite Gospoda.
