Psalms 48

1 Great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

Velik je Gospod in silno bodi hvaljen v mestu našega Boga, na gori njegove svetosti.

2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], on the north sides, the city of the great King.

Lepa zaradi lege, radost celotne zemlje, je gora Sion na straneh severa, mesto vélikega Kralja.

3 In its fortresses God has revealed himself as a strong defense.

Bog je v njenih palačah razpoznan za zatočišče.

4 For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

Kajti, glej, kralji so bili zbrani, skupaj so šli mimo.

5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.

Videli so to in tako so se čudili; bili so vznemirjeni in odhiteli.

6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

Tam sta jih prevzela strah in bolečina kakor žensko v porodnih mukah.

7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

Z vzhodnikom lomiš ladje iz Taršíša.

8 As we have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, so we have seen, in the city of Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

Kakor smo slišali, tako smo videli v mestu Gospoda nad bojevniki, v mestu svojega Boga. Bog ga bo utrdil na veke. (Sela)

9 We have thought about your chesed ·loving-kindness·, God, in the middle of your temple.

Premišljevali smo o tvoji ljubeči skrbnosti, oh Bog, v sredi tvojega templja.

10 As is your name, God, so is your tehilah ·praise song· to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

Glede na tvoje ime, oh Bog, taka je tvoja hvala do koncev zemlje. Tvoja desnica je polna pravičnosti.

11 Let Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] be glad! Let the daughters of Judah [Praised] rejoice, Because of your judgments.

Naj se gora Sion veseli, naj bodo Judove hčere radostne zaradi tvojih sodb.

12 Walk about Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], and go around her. Number its towers.

Hodite okoli Siona in ga obhodite, štejte njegove stolpe.

13 Mark well her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

Dobro označite njegove branike, opazujte njegove palače, da boste to lahko pripovedovali naslednjemu rodu.

14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.

Kajti ta Bog je naš Bog na veke vekov. On bo naš vodnik celó do smrti.
