< 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.
Pesem Davidova, ko je bil izpremenil lice svoje pred Abimelekom, in je bil odšel, ker ga je on podil. Blagoslavljal bodem Gospoda vsak čas; vedno bode hvala njegova v ustih mojih.
2 My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.
V Gospodu se bode ponašala duša moja; čuli bodejo krotki ter se veselili;
3 O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.
Poveličujte Gospoda z menoj, in vkup povišujmo ime njegovo.
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 uslišal me je, in iz vseh strahov mojih me je rešil.
5 Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.
Kateri gledajo vanj in pritekajo, obličja njih naj se ne osramoté, govoré naj:
6 This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.
Ta ubogi je klical, in Gospod je uslišal; in rešil ga je iz vseh stisek njegovih.
7 The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.
Šatorišče stavijo angeli Gospodovi okrog njih, kateri se ga bojé, in otme jih.
8 By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.
Pokusite in vidite, da je dober Gospod; blagor možu, kateri pribega k njemu.
9 Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.
Bojte se Gospoda, svetniki njegovi, ker stradanja ni njim, ki se ga bojé.
10 The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.
Mladi levi beračijo in stradajo; kateri pa iščejo Gospoda, ne pogrešajo nobenega blaga.
11 Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.
Dejte, sinovi, poslušajte me: strah Gospodov vas bodem učil.
12 What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?
Kdo je ón mož, kateri se veseli življenja, ljubi dní, rad uživa dobro?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from words of deceit.
Varuj jezik svoj hudega, in ustne tvoje naj ne govoré zvijače.
14 Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart.
Umikaj se hudemu in delaj dobro; išči mirú in hodi za njim.
15 The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.
Oči Gospodove pazijo na pravične, in ušesa njegova na njih vpitje.
16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to take away the memory of them from the earth.
Srdito pa je njim, ki delajo hudo, obličje Gospodovo, da iztrebi sè zemlje njihov spomin.
17 The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.
Ko kličejo, sliši jih Gospod, in jih iz vseh njih stisek otima.
18 The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.
Blizu je Gospod pobitim v srci; in potrte v duhu rešuje.
19 Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.
Mnoge so pravičnega nadloge, ali iz njih vseh ga reši Gospod:
20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Vse kosti njegovo ohrani, ena izmed njih se ne zlomi.
21 Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.
Krivične pa zadeva sè smrtjo nadloga, in kateri sovražijo pravičnega, pogubé se.
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 otima dušo hlapcev svojih, in ne pogubi se nobeden, ki pribega k njemu.
