< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD 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 ye 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 the LORD; for He commanded, and they were created.
Naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti ukazal je in bili so ustvarjeni.
6 He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.
Tudi njih je utrdil na veke vekov; naredil je odlok, ki ne bo minil.
7 Praise the LORD 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, fruitful 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 and children;
tako mladeniči kakor mladenke, starci in otroci;
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
naj hvalijo Gospodovo ime, kajti njegovo ime samó je odlično; njegova slava je nad zemljo in nebom.
14 And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for 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.
