< Psalms 125 >
1 Those/We who trust in Yahweh are [as secure/steadfast] [SIM] as Zion Hill, which cannot be shaken and can never be moved.
Matkalaulu. Jotka Herraan turvaavat, ovat kuin Siionin vuori: se ei horju, vaan pysyy iankaikkisesti.
2 Like the hills that surround Jerusalem [protect the city], Yahweh protects [us], his people, and he will protect us forever.
Vuoret ympäröivät Jerusalemia, ja Herra ympäröitsee kansaansa, nyt ja iankaikkisesti.
3 Wicked people [MTY] should not [be allowed to] rule over the land where righteous [people] live. If they did that, those righteous [people] might [(be encouraged to imitate them and]) do things that are wrong.
Sillä jumalattomuuden valtikka ei saa vallita vanhurskasten arpaosaa, että vanhurskaat eivät ojentaisi käsiänsä vääryyteen.
4 Yahweh, do good things to those who do good things to others and to those who sincerely obey your commands [IDM].
Anna hyvää hyville, Herra, ja oikeamielisille.
5 But when you punish the wicked people [who are not Israelis], also punish those [Israelis] who turn away from walking on the good roads [MET] that you have shown them! I wish that things will go well for [people in] Israel!
Mutta jotka poikkeavat mutkaisille teilleen, ne Herra hukuttakoon yhdessä väärintekijäin kanssa. Rauha Israelille!
