< Psalms 115 >
1 Not for our sake, O Lord, not for our sake, but unto thy name give glory, for the sake of thy kindness, for the sake of thy truth.
Ne nama, o Jahve, ne nama, već svom imenu slavu daj zbog ljubavi i vjernosti svoje.
2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where now is their God?
Zašto da govore pogani: “TÓa gdje je Bog njihov?”
3 Whereas our God is in the heavens: whatsoever he desireth hath he done.
Naš je Bog na nebesima, sve što mu se svidi to učini.
4 Their idols are sliver and gold, the work of the hands of man.
Idoli su njihovi srebro i zlato, ljudskih su ruku djelo.
5 A mouth they have, but speak not; eyes they have, but see not;
Usta imaju, a ne govore, oči imaju, a ne vide.
6 Ears they have, but hear not; a nose they have, but smell not.
Uši imaju, a ne čuju, nosnice, a ne mirišu.
7 They have hands, but they touch not; they have feet, but they walk not: nor do they give any utterance by their throat.
Ruke imaju, a ne hvataju, noge imaju, a ne hodaju; glas im iz grla ne izlazi.
8 Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
Takvi su i oni koji ih napraviše i svi koji se u njih uzdaju.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.
Dome Izraelov, u Jahvu se uzdaj! - On je štit i pomoćnik njihov.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.
Dome Aronov, u Jahvu se uzdaj! - On je štit i pomoćnik njihov.
11 Ye that fear the Lord, trust ye in the Lord—he is their help and their shield.
Štovatelji Jahvini, u Jahvu se uzdajte! - On je štit i pomoćnik njihov.
12 The Lord hath even been mindful of us, he will bless [us]; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
Jahve će se nas spomenut' i on će nas blagoslovit': blagoslovit će dom Izraelov, blagoslovit će dom Aronov,
13 He will bless those that fear the Lord, the small together with the great.
blagoslovit će one koji se Jahve boje - i male i velike.
14 May the Lord increase you more and more, you and your children.
Umnožio vas Jahve, vas i vaše sinove!
15 Blessed are ye of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Blagoslovio vas Jahve koji stvori nebo i zemlju!
16 The heavens are the heavens of the Lord; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Nebo je nebo Jahvino, a zemlju dade sinovima čovječjim.
17 Not the dead can praise the Lord, nor all those that go down into the silence [of death].
Ne, Jahvu mrtvi ne hvale, nitko od onih što siđu u Podzemlje.
18 But as for us, we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah.
Mi živi, mi Jahvu slavimo sada i dovijeka. Aleluja.
