< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
Hvalite Gospoda. Hvalite Gospoda iz nebes, hvalite ga na višavah.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
Hvalite ga, vsi njegovi angeli, hvalite ga, vse njegove vojske.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
Hvalita ga, sonce in luna, hvalite ga vse ve zvezdne luči.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Hvalite ga, ve nebes nebesa in ve vode, ki ste nad nebom.
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
Naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti ukazal je in bili so ustvarjeni.
6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
Tudi njih je utrdil na veke vekov; naredil je odlok, ki ne bo minil.
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Hvalite Gospoda z zemlje, vi zmaji in vse globine,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;
ogenj in toča, sneg in meglica, viharni veter, izpolnjujoč njegovo besedo,
9 Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
gore in vsi hribi, rodovitna drevesa in vse cedre,
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
živali in vsa živina, plazeče stvari in leteča perjad,
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
kralji zemlje in vsi ljudje, princi in vsi zemeljski sodniki,
12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
tako mladeniči kakor mladenke, starci in otroci;
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.
naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti njegovo ime samó je odlično; njegova slava je nad zemljo in nebom.
14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
Povišuje tudi rog svojega ljudstva, hvalo vseh njegovih svetih, celó Izraelovih otrok, ljudstva blizu njemu. Hvalite Gospoda.
