Psalms 147
1 Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is comely; [him] becometh praise.
Aleluja! Hvalite Jahvu jer je dobar, pjevajte Bogu našem jer je sladak; svake hvale on je dostojan!
2 The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: the outcasts of Israel will he gather together;
Jahve gradi Jeruzalem, sabire raspršene Izraelce.
3 He that healeth the broken-hearted, and bindeth up their hurts;
On liječi one koji su srca skršena i povija rane njihove.
4 Who counteth the number of the stars; who calleth them all by [their] names.
On određuje broj zvijezda, svaku njezinim imenom naziva.
5 Great is our Lord, and abundant in power: his understanding is immeasurable.
Velik je naš Gospodin i svesilan, nema mjere mudrosti njegovoj.
6 The Lord helpeth up the meek: he bringeth down the wicked to the ground.
Jahve pridiže ponizne, zlotvore do zemlje snizuje.
7 Lift up a song unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praises unto our God with the harp;
Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu zahvalnu, svirajte na citari Bogu našem!
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who causeth grass to grow upon the mountains;
Oblacima on prekriva nebesa i zemlji kišu sprema; daje da po bregovima raste trava i bilje na službu čovjeku.
9 Who giveth to the beast its food, to the young ravens which cry.
On stoci hranu daje i mladim gavranima kada grakću.
10 Not in the strength of the horse hath he delight: nor in the [swiftness of the] legs of man taketh he pleasure.
Za konjsku snagu on ne mari nit' mu se mile bedra čovječja.
11 The Lord taketh pleasure in those that fear him, that wait for his kindness.
Mili su Jahvi oni koji se njega boje, koji se uzdaju u dobrotu njegovu.
12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, the Lord: praise thy God, O Zion.
Slavi Jahvu, Jeruzaleme, hvali Boga svoga, Sione!
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children in the midst of thee;
On učvrsti zasune vrata tvojih, blagoslovi u tebi tvoje sinove.
14 He who bestoweth peace in thy borders, who satisfieth thee with the best of wheat;
On dade mir granicama tvojim, pšenicom te hrani najboljom.
15 He who sendeth forth his decree unto the earth: how swiftly speedeth his word along!
Besjedu svoju šalje na zemlju, brzo trči riječ njegova.
16 He who dispenseth snow like wool; who streweth about the hoarfrost like ashes;
Kao vunu snijeg razbacuje, prosipa mraz poput pepela.
17 He who casteth down his ice like pieces: before his cold who can stand?
On sipa grÓad kao zalogaje, voda mrzne od njegove studeni.
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and waters run along.
Riječ svoju pošalje i vode se tope; dunu vjetrom i vode otječu.
19 He declareth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.
Riječ svoju on objavi Jakovu, odluke svoje i zakone Izraelu.
20 He hath not done so unto any nation: and [his] ordinances— these they know not. Hallelujah.
Ne učini tako nijednom narodu: nijednom naredbe svoje ne objavi! Aleluja!
