Psalms 48

1 A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.

Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.

2 Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.

Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.

3 In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.

Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

4 For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.

Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.

5 They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.

Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.

6 Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.

Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.

7 By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.

Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

8 As it came to our ears so have we seen it, in the town of the Lord of armies, in the town of our God; God will keep it fixed for ever. (Selah)

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)

9 Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.

Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.

10 As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.

Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.

11 Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.

Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.

12 Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.

Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

13 Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after.

Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.

14 Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.

Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.
