< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord's reputation! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
Halleluja! Lova Herrens namn, lova, de Herrens tenarar,
2 who worship in the house of the Lord, in the courts 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 praises to his character because it is wonderful!
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 as his very own.
For Jakob hev Herren valt seg ut, Israel til sin eigedom.
5 I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
For eg veit at Herren er stor, og vår Herre er meir enn alle gudar.
6 The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
Herren gjer alt det han vil i himmelen og på jordi, i havi og i alle djup,
7 He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the 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 down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
han som slo dei fyrstefødde i Egyptarland både av folk og fe,
9 He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
som sende teikn og under midt i deg, Egyptarland, mot Farao og alle hans tenarar.
10 He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
Han som slo mange heidningefolk og drap megtige kongar,
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
Sihon, amoritarkongen, og Basans konge Og, og alle Kana’ans kongerike,
12 He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
og gav deira land til arv, til arv for Israel, sitt folk.
13 Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
Herre, ditt namn varer æveleg, Herre, ditt minne frå ætt til ætt.
14 The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.
For Herren skal døma sitt folk og ynkast yver sine tenarar.
15 The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.
Heidninge-avgudar er sylv og gull, eit verk av menneskjehender.
16 They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.
Dei hev munn, men talar ikkje, dei hev augo, men ser ikkje,
17 They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
dei hev øyro, men høyrer ikkje, og ingen ande er i deira munn.
18 Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.
Som desse er, vert dei som lagar deim, alle som set si lit til deim.
19 People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
Israels hus, lova Herren! Arons hus, lova Herren!
20 Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!
Levis hus, lova Herren! De som ottast Herren, lova Herren!
21 Praise the Lord from Zion, for he lives in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
Lova vere Herren frå Sion, han som bur i Jerusalem! Halleluja!
