Psalms 135
1 Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord. You servants, praise the Lord.
Halleluja! Lova Herrens namn, lova, de Herrens tenarar,
2 You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God:
de som stend i Herrens hus, i fyregardarne til vår Guds hus!
3 praise the Lord, for the Lord is good. Sing psalms to his name, for it is sweet.
Lova Herren, for Herren er god! Syng lov for hans namn, for det er yndelegt.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.
For Jakob hev Herren valt seg ut, Israel til sin eigedom.
5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is before all gods.
For eg veit at Herren er stor, og vår Herre er meir enn alle gudar.
6 All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places.
Herren gjer alt det han vil i himmelen og på jordi, i havi og i alle djup,
7 He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses.
han som let eim stiga upp frå enden av jordi, gjer eldingar til regn, som fører ut or sine gøymslor vind,
8 He struck the first-born of Egypt, from man even to cattle.
han som slo dei fyrstefødde i Egyptarland både av folk og fe,
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt: upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.
som sende teikn og under midt i deg, Egyptarland, mot Farao og alle hans tenarar.
10 He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong kings:
Han som slo mange heidningefolk og drap megtige kongar,
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
Sihon, amoritarkongen, og Basans konge Og, og alle Kana’ans kongerike,
12 And he gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance for his people Israel.
og gav deira land til arv, til arv for Israel, sitt folk.
13 Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation.
Herre, ditt namn varer æveleg, Herre, ditt minne frå ætt til ætt.
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will be petitioned by his servants.
For Herren skal døma sitt folk og ynkast yver sine tenarar.
15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
Heidninge-avgudar er sylv og gull, eit verk av menneskjehender.
16 They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see.
Dei hev munn, men talar ikkje, dei hev augo, men ser ikkje,
17 They have ears, and do not hear. For neither is there any breath in their mouths.
dei hev øyro, men høyrer ikkje, og ingen ande er i deira munn.
18 Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
Som desse er, vert dei som lagar deim, alle som set si lit til deim.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
Israels hus, lova Herren! Arons hus, lova Herren!
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Levis hus, lova Herren! De som ottast Herren, lova Herren!
21 The Lord is blessed from Zion, by those who dwell in Jerusalem.
Lova vere Herren frå Sion, han som bur i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
