Psalms 34
1 Of David. When he made a change in his behaviour before Abimelech, who sent him away, and he went. I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth.
Ob vseh časih bom blagoslavljal Gospoda, njegova hvala bo nenehno na mojih ustih.
2 My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.
Moja duša bo storila svoje bahanje v Gospodu. Ponižni bodo o tem slišali in bodo veseli.
3 O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.
Oh poveličujte z menoj Gospoda in skupaj poveličujmo njegovo ime.
4 I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.
Iskal sem Gospoda in me je uslišal ter me osvobodil pred vsemi mojimi strahovi.
5 Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.
Pogledali so k njemu in bili ožarjeni in njihovi obrazi niso bili osramočeni.
6 This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.
Ta revež je zajokal in Gospod ga je uslišal ter ga rešil pred vsemi njegovimi težavami.
7 The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.
Gospodov angel tabori okoli teh, ki se ga bojijo in jih osvobaja.
8 By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.
Oh okusite in vidite, da je Gospod dober. Blagoslovljen je človek, ki zaupa vanj.
9 Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.
Oh bojte se Gospoda, vi njegovi sveti, kajti nič ne manjka tem, ki se ga bojijo.
10 The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.
Mladim levom primanjkuje in trpijo lakoto, toda tistim, ki iščejo Gospoda, ne bo manjkala nobena dobra stvar.
11 Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.
Pridite, otroci, prisluhnite mi. Strahu Gospodovega vas bom učil.
12 What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?
Kakšen človek je tisti, ki želi življenje in ljubi mnoge dneve, da bi lahko videl dobro?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from words of deceit.
Zadržuj svoj jezik pred zlom in svoje ustnice od govorjenja zvijače.
14 Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart.
Odidi od zla in delaj dobro, išči mir in ga zasleduj.
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.
Gospodove oči so na pravičnih in njegova ušesa so odprta k njihovemu klicanju.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to take away the memory of them from the earth.
Gospodovo obličje je zoper te, ki delajo zlo, da z zemlje iztrebi spomin na njih.
17 The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.
Pravični kličejo in Gospod uslišuje ter jih osvobaja iz vseh njihovih stisk.
18 The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.
Gospod je blizu tem, ki so zlomljenega srca in rešuje takšne, ki so skesanega duha.
19 Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.
Mnoge so stiske pravičnega, toda Gospod ga osvobaja iz njih vseh.
20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Varuje vse njegove kosti niti ena izmed njih ni zlomljena.
21 Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.
Zlo bo pokončalo zlobnega in tisti, ki sovražijo pravične, bodo zapuščeni.
22 The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.
Gospod odkupuje dušo svojih služabnikov in nobeden od teh, ki zaupajo vanj, ne bo zapuščen.
