Psalms 19
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse sheweth the work of his hands.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Nebesa slavu Božju kazuju, naviješta svod nebeski djelo ruku njegovih.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Dan danu to objavljuje, a noć noći glas predaje.
3 There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.
Nije to riječ, a ni govor nije, nije ni glas što se može čuti,
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their language to the extremity of the world. In them hath he set a tent for the sun,
al' po zemlji razliježe se jeka, riječi sve do nakraj svijeta sežu. Ondje suncu razape šator,
5 And he is as a bridegroom going forth from his chamber; he rejoiceth as a strong man to run the race.
te ono k'o ženik iz ložnice ide, k'o div kliče kad prelijeće stazu.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it; and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
Izlazi ono od nebeskog kraja, i put mu se opet s krajem spaja, ne skriva se ništa žaru njegovu.
7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple;
Savršen je Zakon Jahvin - dušu krijepi; pouzdano je Svjedočanstvo Jahvino - neuka uči;
8 The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes;
prÓava je naredba Jahvina - srce sladi; čista je zapovijed Jahvina - oči prosvjetljuje;
9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of Jehovah are truth, they are righteous altogether:
neokaljan strah Jahvin - ostaje svagda; istiniti sudovi Jahvini - svi jednako pravedni,
10 They are more precious than gold, yea, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey and the dropping of the honeycomb.
dragocjeniji od zlata, od zlata čistoga, slađi od meda, meda samotoka.
11 Moreover, by them is thy servant enlightened; in keeping them there is great reward.
Sluga tvoj pomno na njih pazi, vrlo brižno on ih čuva.
12 Who understandeth [his] errors? Purify me from secret [faults].
Ali tko propuste svoje da zapazi? Od potajnih grijeha očisti me!
13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be perfect, and I shall be innocent from great transgression.
Od oholosti čuvaj slugu svoga da mnome ne zavlada. Tad ću biti neokaljan, čist od grijeha velikoga.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
Moje ti riječi omiljele i razmišljanje srca moga pred licem tvojim. Jahve, hridi moja, otkupitelju moj!
