< Psalms 48 >

1 A Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Pjesma. Psalam. Sinova Korahovih. Velik je Jahve, hvale predostojan u gradu Boga našega.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north, —The city of a great king.
Sveto brdo njegovo, brijeg veličanstven, radost je zemlji svoj. Gora Sion, na krajnjem sjeveru, grad je Kralja velikog.
3 God, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.
Bog u kulama njegovim jakom se pokaza utvrdom.
4 For lo! Kings—Met as appointed, Passed by together;
Jer gle, složiše se kraljevi, navališe zajedno.
5 They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed—they hurried way!
Čim vidješe, zapanjiše se i zbunjeni u bijeg nagnuše.
6 Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.
Ondje ih trepet obuze kao muka porodilje,
7 With an east wind, wilt thou shatter the ships of Tarshish.
kao kad vjetar istočni razbija brodove taršiške.
8 Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. (Selah)
Što smo čuli, sada vidimo: grad Jahve nad Vojskama, grad Boga našega - Bog ga utvrdi dovijeka.
9 We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, In the midst of thy temple:
Spominjemo se, Bože, tvoje dobrote usred Hrama tvojega.
10 According to thy Name, O God, So, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.
Kao ime tvoje, Bože, tako i slava tvoja do nakraj zemlje doseže. Puna je pravde desnica tvoja; neka se raduje brdo sionsko!
11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.
Neka kliču gradovi Judini zbog tvojih sudova!
12 Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;
Obiđite Sion i prođite njime, prebrojite kule njegove!
13 Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;
Pogledajte dobro bedeme njegove, promotrite mu potanko dvorove: da biste kazivali budućem koljenu:
14 For, this God, is our God, to times age-abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.
“Takav je Bog, Bog naš zasvagda i dovijeka! On neka nas vodi!”
