< Psalms 116 >
1 I love Jehovah, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
Ljubim Gospoda, ker je slišal moj glas in moje ponižne prošnje.
2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Ker je k meni nagnil svoje uho, zato bom klical k njemu, dokler živim.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow. (Sheol )
Obdale so me bridkosti smrti in bolečine pekla so me prijele; spoznal sem stisko in bridkost. (Sheol )
4 Then I called on the name of Jehovah: "Jehovah, I beg you, deliver my soul."
Potem sem klical h Gospodovemu imenu: »Oh Gospod, rotim te, osvobodi mojo dušo.«
5 Jehovah is Gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
Milostljiv je Gospod in pravičen; da, naš Bog je usmiljen.
6 Jehovah preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
Gospod varuje preprostega; ponižan sem bil in pomagal mi je.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with you.
Vrni se k svojemu počitku, oh moja duša, kajti Gospod radodarno postopa s teboj.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Kajti mojo dušo si osvobodil pred smrtjo, moje oči pred solzami in moja stopala pred padcem.
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
Hodil bom pred Gospodom v deželi živih.
10 I believed, therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
Verujem, zato sem rekel: »Bil sem silno prizadet.«
11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."
V svoji naglici sem rekel: »Vsi ljudje so lažnivci.«
12 What will I give to Jehovah for all his benefits toward me?
Kaj naj bi vrnil Gospodu za vse njegove koristi do mene?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of Jehovah.
Vzel bom čašo rešitve duše in klical h Gospodovemu imenu.
14 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yes, in the presence of all his people.
Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his faithful ones.
Dragocena je v Gospodovih očeh smrt njegovih svetih.
16 Jehovah, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.
Oh Gospod, zares sem tvoj služabnik; tvoj služabnik sem in sin tvoje pomočnice; ti si odvezal moje vezi.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of Jehovah.
Daroval ti bom žrtev zahvaljevanja in klical bom h Gospodovemu imenu.
18 I will pay my vows to Jehovah, yes, in the presence of all his people,
Svoje zaobljube bom izpolnil Gospodu sedaj, v prisotnosti vsega njegovega ljudstva,
19 in the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise JAH.
na dvorih Gospodove hiše, v tvoji sredi, oh Jeruzalem. Hvalite Gospoda.
