Psalms 19
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Nebesa oznanjajo slavo Boga mogočnega; in delo rok njegovih kaže njih razsežje.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
Dan dnevu bruha govorico, in noč noči kaže znanje.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Govorice nimajo, ne besed; in brez njih umé se njih glas.
4 Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest part of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
Po vsej zemlji gre njih oznanilo, do kraja vesoljnega sveta šle so njih govorice; odkar je solncu šator postavil na njih.
5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
Ker ono je kakor ženin, ki gre iz stanice svoje; raduje se kakor korenjak, ko se pripravlja na tek.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
Od kraja nebá je vzhod njegov; in ték njegov do njihovih krajev; in nič ni, kar bi bilo skrito njegovemu žaru.
7 YHWH's Law is perfect, restoring the soul. YHWH's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
Nauk Gospodov je pošten, oživljajoč dušo; pričanje Gospodovo resnično, modrost daje nevednemu.
8 YHWH's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. YHWH's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Zapovedi Gospodove so pravične, srce razveseljujejo; postava Gospodova čista, razsvetljuje oči.
9 The fear of YHWH is clean, enduring forever. YHWH's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
Sveti strah Gospodov je čist, vekomaj ostane; sodbe Gospodove zgolj resnica, pravične so vse:
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
Zaželene, bolj ko zlato, in to kakor zlato prečisto, premnogo, in slajše ko med, in to ko čisti med.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
Tedaj je bil služabnik tvoj opominjan po njih; njih poslušati je velik dobiček.
12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
(Zmote, kdo bi jih razumel?) Mene odveži skrivnih.
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
Potem iz trdovratnosti potegni služabnika svojega, da ne gospoduje v meni; tedaj bodem pošten in čist velike pregrehe.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight always, YHWH, my rock and my redeemer.
Po volji naj bodejo ust mojih besede, in srca mojega premišljevanje pred teboj; Gospod skala moja in rešitelj moj!
