Psalms 48

1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.

Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.

2 Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.

Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.

3 God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.

Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

4 Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.

Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.

5 As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.

Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.

6 They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,

Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.

7 just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.

Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

8 Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)

9 God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.

Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.

10 As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!

Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.

11 Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!

Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.

12 Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.

Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

13 Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:

Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.

14 “This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”

Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.
