< Psalms 147 >
1 Praise ye Jah! for it is good. Sing psalms of our God; for it is pleasant: praise is comely.
Hvalite Gospoda; ker dobro je prepevati Bogu našemu; ker prijetno, spodobno je hvaljenje.
2 Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth the outcasts of Israel.
Zidar Jeruzalema Gospod, Izraelce zbira razkropljene.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
On ozdravlja potrte v srci in obvezuje v njih bolečinah.
4 He counteth the number of the stars; he giveth names to them all.
Prešteva zvezd število, kliče jih, kolikor jih je, po imenih.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
Velik je Gospod, Bog naš, in mnoga moč njegova, razumnost njegova brezmerna.
6 Jehovah lifteth up the meek; he abaseth the wicked to the earth.
Krotke podpira Gospod, hudobne potiska noter do tal.
7 Sing unto Jehovah with thanksgiving; sing psalms upon the harp unto our God:
Pojte hvalne pesmi Gospodu, na strune prepevajte našemu Bogu.
8 Who covereth the heavens with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains;
On zagrinja z gostimi oblaki nebesa; dež napravlja zemlji, daje, da seno rodevajo gore.
9 Who giveth to the cattle their food, to the young ravens which cry.
Živež svoj daje živini, mladim krokarjem, ki čivkajo.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse, he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man;
Moči konjeve se ne veseli, stegna odličnega moža mu niso po volji;
11 Jehovah taketh pleasure in those that fear him, in those that hope in his loving-kindness.
Po volji so Gospodu boječi se njega, kateri imajo nado v milosti njegovi.
12 Laud Jehovah, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
S hvalo slávi Jeruzalem Gospoda, hvali Boga svojega, o Sijon.
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee;
Ker zapahe tvojih vrát utrjuje, sinove tvoje blagoslavlja sredi tebe.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders; he satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheat.
Mir daje pokrajinam tvojim, z mozgom pšenice te siti.
15 He sendeth forth his oracles to the earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
Ko pošlje govor svoj na zemljo, urno izteče beseda njegova.
16 He giveth snow like wool, scattereth the hoar frost like ashes;
Sneg daje kakor volno, slano razsiplje kakor pepél.
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
Led svoj meče dol, kakor koščke; pred mrazom njegovim kdo prebije?
18 He sendeth his word, and melteth them; he causeth his wind to blow — the waters flow.
Besedo svojo pošlje in jih raztaja; kakor hitro pihne veter svoj, iztekó vodé.
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
Besede svoje naznanja Jakobu; postave svoje in pravice svoje Izraelu.
20 He hath not dealt thus with any nation; and as for [his] judgments, they have not known them. Hallelujah!
Ni storil tako nobenemu narodu; zatorej ne poznajo tistih pravic. Aleluja.
