< Psalms 66 >
1 To the chief music-maker. A Song. A Psalm. Send up a glad cry to God, all the earth:
Naredite radosten glas Bogu, vse ve dežele,
2 Make a song in honour of his name: give praise and glory to him.
pojte čast njegovemu imenu, njegovo hvalo naredite veličastno.
3 Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.
Recite Bogu: »Kako strašen si v svojih delih! Zaradi veličine tvoje moči se ti bodo podredili tvoji sovražniki.
4 Let all the earth give you worship, and make songs to you; let them make songs to your name. (Selah)
Vsa zemlja te bo oboževala in ti prepevala, prepevali bodo k tvojemu imenu.« (Sela)
5 Come and see the works of God: he is to be feared in all he does to the children of men.
Pridite in glejte dela Boga. Strašen je v svojem delovanju do človeških otrok.
6 The sea was turned into dry land: they went through the river on foot: there did we have joy in him.
Morje je spremenil v kopno zemljo. Skozi rečni tok so šli peš, tam smo se veselili v njem.
7 He is ruling in power for ever; his eyes are watching the nations: may his haters have no strength against him. (Selah)
S svojo močjo vlada na veke, njegove oči opazujejo narode; naj se uporni ne povišujejo. (Sela)
8 Give blessings to our God, O you peoples, let the voice of his praise be loud;
Oh blagoslavljajte našega Boga, ve ljudstva in storite, da se sliši glas njegove hvale,
9 Because he gives us life, and has not let our feet be moved.
ki našo dušo drži pri življenju in ne pusti, da bi bila naša stopala premaknjena.
10 For you, O God, have put us to the test: testing us by fire like silver.
Kajti ti, oh Bog, si nas potrdil, preizkusil si nas, kakor je preizkušeno srebro.
11 You let us be put in prison; chains were put on our legs.
Privedel si nas v mrežo, na naša ledja polagaš stisko.
12 You let men go driving over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but you took us out into a wide place.
Ljudem si storil, da jahajo nad našimi glavami. Šli smo skozi ogenj in skozi vodo, toda ti si nas privedel v premožen kraj.
13 I will come into your house with burned offerings, I will make payment of my debt to you,
V tvojo hišo bom šel z žgalnimi daritvami, izpolnil ti bom svoje zaobljube,
14 Keeping the word which came from my lips, and which my mouth said, when I was in trouble.
ki so jih izrekle moje ustnice in spregovorila moja usta, ko sem bil v stiski.
15 I will give you burned offerings of fat beasts, and the smoke of sheep; I will make offerings of oxen and goats. (Selah)
Daroval ti bom žgalne daritve pitancev s kadilom ovnov, daroval ti bom bikce s kozli. (Sela)
16 Come, give ear to me, all you God-fearing men, so that I may make clear to you what he has done for my soul.
Pridite in prisluhnite vsi vi, ki se bojite Boga in oznanil vam bom, kaj je storil za mojo dušo.
17 My voice went up to him, and I was lifted up from the underworld.
K njemu sem klical s svojimi usti in povzdignjen je bil z mojim jezikom.
18 I said in my heart, The Lord will not give ear to me:
Če v svojem srcu upoštevam krivičnost, me Gospod ne bo uslišal,
19 But truly God's ear has been open; he has give attention to the voice of my prayer.
toda Bog me je resnično uslišal, prisluhnil je glasu moje molitve.
20 Praise be to God who has not taken away his good faith and his mercy from me.
Blagoslovljen bodi Bog, ki ni odklonil moje molitve niti svojega usmiljenja od mene.
